Hm... What to do....

Seeing as my last entry was in FEBRUARY (geez, how embarrassing), I'm going to start from #1 all over again and see how far it takes me. =)
 Book #1: The Perks of Being a Wallflower  by Stephen Chibosky.  A colleague (middle school librarian) recommended this to me while I'm recovering from surgery.  Easy read, easy to put down (it's written as a whole lot of letters to someone).  It was a bit darker than I like (although she did give me that warning too), but I made it through.  There's a movie version coming out shortly.  Probably won't see it.  2 out of 5 stars.

Book #2: The Last Chinese Chef by Nichole Mones (same author as Lost in Translation).  This was recommended to me by one of my favorite parents.  It's about food-- how can you go wrong?  I really enjoyed this book.  I learned a little bit about Chinese history and Chinese food, and have a great respect for REAL Chinese food.  Easy read. 4 out of 5 stars.
