The Ten-Year Nap
Meg Wolitzer
Riverhead Hardcover, 2008
Not for non-urbanites, but that's a COMPLIMENT
Anyone looking for a good learning experience for a book group, or a realistic portrait of the "normal" in-home mom experience, will not find it here.

Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil
Deborah Rodriguez, Kristin Ohlson
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007
Almost makes me want to visit
+ my view of a good book

Daddy's Girl
Lisa Scottoline
Harper, 2008
Not the typical Scottline book
+ A must read for all women
+ Daddy's Firl
Not the typical Scottline. The herion, although strong, seems conflicted. This does not take away from the plot, which in Scottline fashion has many twists and turns. Can't figure out the reason for the title. Who picked it out? Anyway it's still worth reading.

Counterpoint, 2007
terrific
+ Awsome! Totally enjoyed this book.
+ She's a BAD girl and a GREAT storyteller
I loved this book. Sarah is absolutely hysterical. I found myself laughing out loud in bed reading it at night. My only problem is that she hasn't written anything else. Please, Please, write something else, and hurry.
