Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson
Mitch Albom
Broadway, 2002
A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
+ I very confidently recommend
+ Tuesdays with Bill
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I ...

Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
John Grogan
Harper Paperbacks, 2008
A Heartwarming 5 Hanky Read
+ is a bad dog ever a bad dog?
+ AFun Book
The one moral to this story is that you should always listen to Connie Brockway. (As much as it pains me to admit it!) She warned me that if I read this book, I would be crying for WEEKS. Then my Uncle Buddy, a 6' 2" bastion of male machismo confessed that he had bawled like a baby when reading the ...

The River King
Alice Hoffman
Berkley Trade, 2001
Another Hoffman Winner!
+ Verbosity Loses a Star
As I read more of Alice Hoffman's books, I am become more and more drawn to her writing style. Infact, it's difficult for me to start another book after finishing one such as this. I really need time to digest and think back. Hoffman's books read like dreams, weaving in and out of characters, ...
