Week 6: Part 1

It's week 6 and we've read 442 books! We love the response that we've been getting from everyone. If you are running out of ideas for books to read, we have a few more reviews for you. Enjoy!

On "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan-
Oldie...but a goodie
On "The Pearl Diver" by Jeff Talarigo-
A novel about a young Japanese pearl diver in the 1940's who contracts leprosy and is sent to a leprosarium. Very sad but wonderful emotional insight into the main character.
Also on "The Pearl Diver"-
Sad but wonderful book- courage under terrible circumstances.
On "Dating Hamlet- Ophelia's Story" by Lisa Fiedler-
 If you enjoyed Shakespeare's Hamlet, you'll LOVE this book.
On "Hush" by Kate White-
A waste of time!
On "Claude and Camille" by Stephanie Cowell-
Interesting insight into Claude Monet's life with his first wife, Camille.

That's all for now. Enjoy your reading finds.
