I know they are many avid readers like myself on here, so figured why not share good reads with one another? I know personally I go to the movie thread to add stuff to my list all the time, and really am grateful to read others comments and suggestions.
I just finished a really quick and fun read. Very light and definitely a diversion from real life.
Girls In Trucks, by Katie Crouch, this is from the cover leaf:
Meet Sarah Walters, a Camellia Society debutante with an inherited weakness for bad ideas. Sarah's mother lectures her on etiquette, but tends to get loose after a few gins. Her sister sets new standards for high school sex, then drops out of Yale to chase love. Still, Sarah tries to follow the debutante code, despite these questionable role models. After all, this is Charleston. Manners mean everything.
But it's not easy to follow those rules, particularly in the summers when she runs into boys in pickup trucks, or, later, in her life in New York. Etiquette, it turns out, is thin armor in an urban landscape where everyone wears black and the men don't hold the door open on dates—or call the morning after. With time, Sarah begins to doubts her roots. Finally, a family tragedy brings Sarah back home, where she begins to realize the motto “Once a Camellia, always a Camellia” may be more real than she ever guessed.
I am on my way to the library later today to pick up the first 2 books in the Charlaine Harris, Vampire Series, Dead Until Dark + Living Dead in Dallas. These are the books that the series TRUE BLOOD is based, and I am really curious to see how they read in comparision to the HBO program.
