The Glass Castle

   This book came highly recommended and I have to say that after reading two pages I was completely and utterly intrigued.  It's hard to explain.  I am not sure if I should be laughing or absolutely horrified.  It's so hard to believe that the author lived a life like this and survived to tell about it.  Amazing.  She must be an incredible lady to still feel love toward her parents, who must have some sort of mental illness.  I have only read a few chapters, but I know that I will be compelled to finish this in no time at all.  If I could just find a place to snuggle in for a few hours.  Remember those forts you used to make as a kid with chairs and blankets?  Perfect.

  3. Oh I can't WAIT to pick your brain about your thoughts on it. If you havn't already, go to youtube and watch her promotional video of her with her mom. I always like to see the real people whilst reading a memoir. And per YOUR recommendation, I started The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency...I L O V E it!! I fell asleep with it on my chest last night I couldn't put it down.
