what's gotten in to me?
i set down yesterday and made a list of a few books on my "to read" list so that as i finish these books i always have one on deck - instead of hemming and hawing over what to download next.
in case anyone wants to e-gift me a book ;)
here's my to read list:
the round house
a woman living on a reservation in north dakota is brutally attacked. her teenage son is eager to bring the attacker to justice, and his dad is a tribal judge. but there are laws that protect whites from being persecuted under reservation laws. one review claimed it "the native american to kill a mocking bird"
life after death
the autobiography of damien echols - one of the west memphis three - who was accused of murder and sentenced to death. he sat on death row for 18 years before activists and celebrity supporters fought for his and the others' freedom from a wrongful conviction - a trial riddled with tainted evidence and false evidence.

the chocolate money
"The Chocolate Money is the perfect page-turner, offering a window into the life of the richer-than-rich, complete with scandalous sex, wild parties, a snobby prep school, and a tyrannical train-wreck of a mother. But it's also something more—it’s a perceptive portrait of a young woman growing past the world that shaped her. Norton writes with empathy and wisdom about mothers and daughters, and the pain of loving a parent you must escape."
-- Jill A. Davis, author of Ask Again Later
your house is on fire your children all gone
“Full of dark folk magic and frightful, lurid wonder. It casts a spell, winking all the way through every grim detail and shadowy secret.” —Paul Elwork, author of The Girl Who Would Speak for the Dead
the cutting season
“The Cutting Season is a rare murder mystery with heft, a historical novel that thrills, a page-turner that makes you think. Attica Locke is a dazzling writer with a conscience.” (Dolen Perkins-Valdez, New York Times bestselling author of Wench )
and right now i'm reading...
the perfect christmas
ha. i'm pretty sure i would never read debbie macomber....but between all this cruel history, stoic women, thrilling page turners....i needed some fluff. some christmas fluff. no shame.
