Defending Jacob by William Landay
Defending Jacob

I normally don't read "who done it" books, but this book was one of the best books I've read in some time! The last thing a parent would want to hear is that your child is suspected of murdering another child. This book is about the anguish a family goes through to prove their child's innocence. It is also about how well we know our family and ourselves. I highly recommend this book!

Among the Wonderful: A Novel by Stacy Carlson

This book was amazing. It's about the lives of the anomalies that work in P.T. Barnum's museum of oddities. What makes this book so interesting, first of all, today, Barnum would never get by with exploiting people the way he did. Secondly, this book shows that the giantess, the fat lady, the skeleton man, the conjoined twin, the bearded lady all had emotions and lives beyond the museum. You learn the feelings of these people that Barnum had on display for the world to pass by and view. I highly recommend this book!

This is probably the best book I've read this year. I had a very hard time putting it down. It kept my attention from the first sentence to the last. I usually don't go for books about witches and vampires, but this book was soooo good! I can't wait until the next two books of the series come out!

The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

This book is a great way to learn how to rethink your thinking to help improve your life! This is one of those books you want to buy because you will want to read it more than once. It contains so many methods to help you out of depression, anxiety, or just stinking thinking! This book is the help you need to get your life back on the right track and to accomplish things you thought you'd never be able to accomplish.

Love, Love, Love this book! After 500 some pages, I still want more!

This book has been the hardest book I've ever read to put down! Most books I've read, by the time they get to this many pages, you can tell the author is getting tired of writing, but not his book, it only gets better as it goes. Drama, comedy, scarey, history and mystery all rolled into one book! It can't get much better than this!

I loved the characters and the story. This is the best book I've read in a long time. I hope there's more!
