Memoirs/Personal Essay Collections:
- Miss American Pie (according to back cover- about growing up in the 70's)
- Fraud (according to back cover- really funny)
- Shiksa Goddess (my mom read this one and liked it)
Leftovers:
- Garden of Beasts by Jeffrey Deaver (probably good and suspenseful)
- Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret (if you read my previous posts, you know that this book has spent some time in our fireplace. Also, my son ate a little bit of the cover off. Is there anyone out there who didn't read this growing up???)
- A Rare Murder in Princeton (I grew up near Princeton so thought maybe I would enjoy reading about someone getting murdered in my town? According to the cover there are recipes included. Of what, I have no idea)
- Writing a Woman's Life (I doubt this is going to be in high demand unless someone has a term paper to write)
- The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen (This won a National Book Award! Someone should read it and then lend it back to me if it is any good)
- Sisters of the Road (mystery, I think)
- Handling Sin (This looks good, but it's over 600 pages long, and since it's not Harry Potter, I don't have time for it)

I read Garden of the Beasts and it is VERY scary. I'll be happy to take most of what you are giving away.
Pretty soon Nate will learn and vocalize the concept "off" in relation to any sailor suits he may not be wanting to wear.
But maybe he was just hungry when you took that picture

Bag up any good beach reads for me. We need some good books down in Ocean City for our renters and moi to read while down there.
If Dina and Eva (hello you two!!!) don't take Shiksa Goddess or The Corrections, I'd love to read them and would be happy to pass them on when I'm done!
Eva, I recommend "The Pursuit of Love" by Nancy Mitford for an easy beach read. I found it so entertaining! I have yet to read the second "Love in a Cold Climate" (the two books are typically published together in one) and will pick it up again when I finally finish "The House of Mondavi," which I find to be a completely "meh" book given all the praise it received!
I made it through 3 pages of A Rare Murder in Princeton, and I love mysteries. You wrote better in second grade.
LOVE
MOM
