Books, Books, Books

I have been dying to write something tonight, probably because I'm at work, and technically I can't post anything. All the blogger sites are blocked, so basically I can't do anything and it really sucks because I'm on the "boring" floor we call 3D tonight. Anyway, the reason I've been wanting to write is to tell the world about yet another awesome book I just finished. It's Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. Apparentely she's a pretty popular author these days.. The only other book I've read of hers is My Sister's Keeper and it was great, too. I would definitely recommend them.

This one is about a district attorney, Nina Frost, and her family. More than anything, though, it's about her son, Nathaniel, who was sexually molested and left mute. It's phenomenal and I couldn't put it down for a second. It was funny, too, as I was sitting here at the computer a patient was walking around the floor and saw it, so she tells me, "You're reading an awesome book!" I let her know later that I had finished it. :)

I have about a million other books that I want to read... I don't know when I became such a book-geek. Here are a few..

A Million Little Pieces (this one is in Oprah's book club and I've heard really awesome things about it) -Josh Freye, I think?

A Man Named Dave (and the one that comes before it, I can't remember the name. They are the 2nd and 3rd books after "A Child Called It"...I've already read that one. It's about one of the worst cases of child abuse recorded in history... very intense) -Dave Pelzer

Little Earthquakes -Jennifer Weiner

Goodnight Nobody -Jennifer Weiner

So anyway, yea, I have a lot of work to do. :) Hopefully I will get to it sometime this semester ... because God knows I probably won't have a lot of reading time next semester when I start my first semester of clinicals in nursing school! Did I not mention that I got in? ;)
