I've started reading the book from Oprah's book club, "A Million Little Pieces". It's a hard book to read. Growing up in a sheltered home as I did, it's really a rough book. But it's one of those books that I will be glad I have read, even though I may not enjoy the book very much. I'm sure that anyone who has suffered from a drug/alcohol addiction can probably really relate to this book. There's all this controversy now because The Smoking Gun says parts of the book are fabricated or embellished and it is supposed to be a memoir. Who cares? It's still the personal story of a drug addict going through rehab. Anyway, I've had to put the book down for awhile. I have to take it a little at a time. I'm also reading a couple more books. A book by one of my favorite Christian authors, Karen Kingsbury. If you read Christian books and you haven't read the Redemption series by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley, you must read this series. Then, of course, her Firstborn series takes up where the Redemption series ends. The one I'm reading now is "Waiting For Morning". It's a heart-wrenching story of a woman whose husband and one of her teenage daughters is killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. I just read "A Thousand Tomorrows" by Karen Kingsbury. It reminded me of Nicholas Sparks' books. I was determined not to cry at the end, but of course I did. I'm also reading another V. I. Warshawski book-Firesale I think is the name of it. Please let me know if you can recommend any good books. I'm always open to read new authors.
Happy Reading!
