Books and an Update

Some relatively recent finds...

Emily's Ghost by Denise Giardina. Amazing. It is a fictional novel about the life of Emily Bronte (my favorite of the sisters). Don't read if Charlotte is your favorite-it doesn't paint the best picture of her. Anyhoo, it's tragic AND romantic. Loved it. 


The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Currently being made into a movie. Illustrates women at their best and  worst. 


The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I've never seen Schindler's List (I'm a coward) but I've heard it is just as powerful if not more. Read with a box of tissues. I cried...a lot. But don't let that scare you! It's awesome, thanks Jen!

      Things are wonderful here on the Big Island. The last month has flown by. Right now there is a torrential downpour outside and we are having a Harry Potter marathon in preparation for the upcoming movie. I almost don't want to go see the finale because that will mean it's all over! 
      Mom and I have girls camp next week so I'm mentally preparing myself for late nights, lots of giggling girls, and snipe hunts.
