The Girl's Book Review

You may have noticed that I have a new little widget on the blog.  If you haven't seen it it's on the bottom right corner of the page.  I'll admit it, I joined a new social network.  It's called Shelfari and I'm a little bit obsessed.

Basically, it's a social network for readers.  You create a book shelf with all the books you've read and you can write a review or rate each book for other readers to see.  You make friends with other readers (in my case, just people I know in real life) and see what they have read and recommended. I am an avid reader, so this site is perfect for me.  It might sound really dorky, but I don't care.  If you enjoy reading definitely try this site: Shelfari.com.  If you aren't so into the social networking for book lovers but still enjoy a good book every now and again, below are some books I have read recently and loved.  Enjoy!


Now for the run down of my little list. The Alchemist and The Fountainhead put me back on track in life.  At some point in your life, you really should read both.  Eat Pray Love will fill your soul and make you hungry.  The Attack is a quick and very good read.  I absolutely loved the Book Thief, be prepared for a cry.  I loved the story in The Help, one of my faves.  Sarah's Key is a riveting story that like the Book Thief, may very well bring you to tears. And last but not least, The Distand Land Of My Father.  Another great story! Hope you enjoyed my bang up book review.
