April Book List

I was going to post my book list on Friday, but I hoped to finish my "current book" by the end of the day. I didn't. Now I have to wait another month to talk about it - and it was great! :\

Family Affair by Caprice Crane
A novel about a separated young couple who fight for "custody" of his wacky family. Not my favorite Caprice Crane, but still funny, entertaining and hard to put down.

Six Steps to Increased Fertility by Harvard Medical School
A helpful and positive read. The information is pretty basic, but the writers emphasized things I hadn't heard much about before. I was surprised to see a sort of holistic approach from a medical school.

Barefoot by Elin Hildebrand
This book exceeded my expectations! It's about three women (two of them sisters), each going through a different crisis, sharing a beach house for the summer. It's one of those books that I related to, and that affected me, in ways I can't really explain. And one of the characters is a writer named Brenda. :)

Led by Faith by Immaculee Ilibagiza
Alanna gave me this book for Christmas, and I'm so glad she did! It's a memoir by a survivor of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. I didn't know much about that event before reading this, but you can't find a more eyewitness account. This book focuses mostly on the spiritual effects of the genocide in Immaculee's life (she lost almost her entire family), and her journey to forgiveness. Her beautiful spirit and closeness to God is really inspiring.

Blue Heart Blessed by Susan Meissner
Christian chick lit: a jilted bride opens a secondhand bridal boutique in a hotel, where she lives with a motley crew of characters. I didn't totally buy the end-game romance for various reasons, but all in all, it was a charming and good book.

Truly, Madly by Heather Webber
This novel about a psychic matchmaker/investigator totally lived up to the hype. I'd definitely read the other books in the series!

Books for April: 6
2010 year to date: 22
