I have gotten a bit behind on adding the books to my blog though...so this is list is going to be a little bit long. Keep in mind that this was *not* a week's worth of reading- this has been what I've been going through since February. The library has saved me quite a bit this year, and it's only April! Since there are so many books listed this time, I'm going to run my totals on top instead of on the bottom:

Do you recommend any?
Naomi,
Yes! I loved Here if You Need Me, Spook, and Stiff. (both Spook and Stiff are by the same woman.) The Post Birthday World was written in a very intersting way and I enjoyed the story.
Stiff takes a strong stomach, but it is really interesting to see what happens to bodies after they are donated to science. It took me nearly a month to read because I had to take breaks from it, but it was facinating.
That's funny, cause Stiff was one of the ones that grabbed my attention. It sounds like one of those books that I would check on of the library, and the rest of my family would think I was wierd for wanting to read it.
My mom thinks it's wierd that I can watch endless episodes of "Forensic Files" and then discuss with my dad the best way to dispose of a dead body. OK maybe I am wierd... don't be worried though.
I swear that Blogger adds typos to my comments instantly after I click "publish your comment".
