Books 91 through 94

.
91. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - Dave Eggers

A good book, but not a great one. In a way, I finished it just to finish it. It started out very compelling, but as the pages slid by, kind of became tedious.

92. Positive Discipline - Jane Nelsen

A awesome book about parenting and "discipline". I read it to help underscore what I took from "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk", and ended up writing a few key phrases from this book down to post in my kitchen. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels the punitive - or corporal - punishment is NOT the way to go.

93. Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen

Loved this book. A great story, with wonderful detail and rich characters. One of those "I can't put it down, so I am tearing through it, but I'm going to be so sad when I actually finish it" books.

94. Autobiography of a Fat Bride - Lauri Notaro

Love her sense of humor and writing style. She and David Sedaris are my heroes :)
