I finished reading Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill, which was an excellent book, highly recommend it! I also finished On the Occasion of My Last Afternoon by Kaye Gibbons, which was a pleasant surprise. It had been sitting on my shelf forever and I finally pulled it out and read it within a few days.
I am tackling this one next, so far its good. Thanks to Beckie who not only watched my kids, but let me pillage her bookshelf when I picked them up LOL!
Next is finding more of those "Women of the Underworld" series...Bitten was SO darn good, I need to find more!

I listened to Reading Lolita on audiotape, it was really good.
I saw 3 of Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld books at the Wee Book Inn downtown yesterday, all priced at about $4.50. I already owned 2 of them though so could lend them to you. I don't have the one after Bitten though.
I have On The Occasion of my Last Afternoon sitting on my shelf still to be read too.....maybe I will read that this Summer too! Thanks for the recommendation! I'm reading The Secret Life of Bees right now which is getting me all riled up about the injustices of racism in the Deep South again :( but it's a wonderful book :)
OMg...you read too fast! I can't beleive you're already done Lullabies. I do agree though, great read! Did you also read the Glass Castle? Did you find them similar? Which did you like better...k, maybe these are questions for a book club!
The Secret Life of Bees is a wonderful book. I read Lullabies and Glass Castle and they were both really good, but I liked Glass Castle better. I think because GC was a true story and all the different settings and characters were really fascinating.
Can I recommend a FAB book - and it's Canadian - The Girls - by Lori Lansen. It's WONDERFUL. I read it after Glass Castle and in my eyes its far superior - mainly because it's fiction yet you are constantly having to remind yourself of that fact throughout the book!! I think thats the sign of a wonderful novel! The Glass castle is a great book but because its autobiographical, in some ways thats to be expected, but The Girls is fiction but comes across as autobiographical. It's so well written! Great story!
Ha ha, I read The Girls too. I would recommend it as well, but wasn't as blown away as I was with Glass Castle.
Oh, I've had the Girls on my list for a while now.
Goodwill hunting here I come!
