Book 16: The Other Boleyn Girl

I am starting 'The Other Boleyn Girl' by Philippa Gregory today. I know that several of my friends have read this book and really liked it. I was over at a friend's house for Thanksgiving and asked to borrow a book. She told me to try this one. She is a huge Henry VIII fan and said this was a really interesting story. several people have also said that Gregory is a great story teller. I hope I like it as much as every one else does.

Book 15: Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?

My 15th book is going to be 'Who Will Run the Frog Hospital?' by Lorrie Moore. I have to say that I know nothing about this book, but I saw it on someone else's book list and thought it had an interesting title. I looked up a description and it is a story of a woman who realizes she is no longer in love with her husband and reflects upon a friendship she had in New York when she was 15.
I read a few short stories by Moore in college, so I am interested to see what one of her novels is like.

Book 14: Under the Skin

I just started 'Under the Skin' by Michel Faber. From the description it is a book about a woman who picks up hitchhikers to fit her fantasies. I am not very far into the book, but I am already interested in the story.

Book 13: Blue Like Jazz

I am starting 'Blue Like Jazz' by Donald Miller tonight. A lot of my friends have read this book and said that they really liked it. "Spiritual books" have really been keeping me interested lately, but there is a wait list for this book at the library, so I feel like I need to read it now since I can't renew it. I'm hoping I enjoy it.

Book 12: And Then There Were None

My 12th book will be 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. I am so excited to start this book. It has been a really long time since I read a mystery book.

Book #11: The Red Tent

My 11th book for the challenge is 'The Red Tent' by Anita Diamant. I have heard several good reviews about this book. I am excited to learn a little more about the historical bible story of Dinah.
