Impossible
by Nancy Werlin (YA) is a story inspired by the song "Are you Going to Scarborough Fair." It is written in our time but with a touch of magic and folklore. I really enjoyed the story and the characters -- a great beach read. (Warning, this has a disturbing scene, you might want to read it before you pass it off to your daughters.)Heist Society
by Ally Carter (YA) is an absolute kick! This is not a continuation of her previous series (Don't Judge a Girl by her Cover (Gallagher Girls)
) but is equally enjoyable. Think of it as "Ocean's Eleven" for teenage girls.Right now on the recommendation of a friend I am reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel
(adult historical fiction). This is not a book for the faint of heart or the easily disgusted. It contains a detailed description of foot binding-- I almost had to put it down myself. However, the story is fascinating and I find myself sickly fascinated to see how it is going to end. Let me know what you think and feel free to pass on any good reads you have found. I am always looking for a good book!

I read Snow Flower and really liked it. Crazy what women went through, huh? I recently read The Help and it was one of my favorite books in a while. I definitely recommend it.
Thanks Andrea. We are actually reading The Help for bookclub next month. I am looking forward to it.
