Lions, Tigers, Quotes, and Italics. Oh My!

I have no idea how to catch up on how to write about all of the books I have written, nor how to read all the new ones I have on my shelves right now. I am running out of time! Law school will start soon and that means the ONLY thing I will be reading in case books. Yay. However, here is the stack that is sitting by my bed (and has been for the past few weeks at least. Senior year is hard...)

1. Let the Great World Spin Colum McCann
2. The Help Kathryn Stockett
3. Picking Cotton Jennifer Thompson-Cannino

By no means does the list end there. I just have to be realistic and go one at a time. Or three. My current recommendations are:

1. The God of Animals Aryn Kyle (hands down one of the best and most powerful books ever written. By a first timer no less.)
   
2. Emma Jane Austen (chances are you have read Pride & Prejudice but this is arguably Austen's greatest work. Even her brother said so.)
   
3. East of Eden John Steinbeck (top 5 favorite book of mine at least, most powerful and thought provoking of all his works)
   
4. The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath (sad and depressing but, my god can Plath get into your head. moving coming of age story, but I use coming of age, well, loosely.)
