An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination By: Elizabeth McCracken Rating: 5 stars. If the scale went any higher, so would the rating. This short book tells the true story of the author’s infant loss and subsequent pregnancy and healthy birth. It’s a book about the pain of loss while dealing with the [...]
By Kathryn Stockett Rating: 4 stars This book captured my attention from the beginning, and was a solid read throughout. Telling the story of three women who are unlikely allies in the 60′s South, the book tells the tale from three vastly different perspectives. This book chronicles the journey of a young white woman and [...]
On my trip to Atlanta this week, I spent plenty of time waiting around. So I indulged in some trashy chick-lit and romance novels (with no judgment from passers-by, since I was reading on my Kindle 3! Here you go.

It turns out to be an easy-to-read expose on how meat gets from where it’s raised to your plate. A pretty gruesome tale, all things told–which I expected after watching Food, [...]
By: Ian McEwan Rating: 1 star I really struggled to get through this book. It’s the story of a young girl who witnesses an event in the 1930′s that defines her future, though the event (as she tells it) was entirely fabricated. Lots of personal tragedy for the involved parties, etc. Now, I have accepted [...]
By: Christopher McDougall Rating: 5 stars (easily) This book was singlehandedly the best book I’ve read all year, and one of the best I’ve ever read. So first, a huge thank you to our friend Michael, who gave us this book last year. This book tells the story of the Tarahumara Indians, a native population [...]
