She’s Come Undone

by Kaitlin December 29th, 2011 | Fiction
Back when I was in high school, my English teacher recommended one of her favorite books from when she was in high school -- Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone. I picked it up one summer with absolutely no expectations other than if she liked it, I might, and have since passed my copy to many of my girlfriends. Despite being a very emotionally heavy book, it's one you want to share with others and one that stays with you long after you've finished it.

For a speed reader like myself, I appreciate Lamb because he forces me to slow down

I always come back to Stephen King. No fail. I may take a long break, I may not really read a lot of other horror, but if I spy a new work by King on the shelf, I have to pick it up.

13 Little Blue Envelopes

by Sam P. December 22nd, 2011 | Fiction, Young Adults
This is a very good book.  I just started reading it a few days ago and already I know that it will most certainly be making it onto my Top 25 Books that I Read in 2011 list.  I actually have one for every year, ever since 2008.  But any who, 13 Little Blue Envelopes is truly an amazing book.  Written by Maureen Johnson in 2005, but oddly the sequel was not written till this year.

Ginny receives a package from her dead aunt containing 13 envelopes,  all of them numbered 1-13.  So as most people would, she opens the
