After a reading hiatus that lasted longer than I care to admit, I have been reading up a storm! I just read Jodi Piccoult's "Handle with Care". This was a GREAT novel! Click here to buy it on Amazon.com. I found it at our local library on the new releases shelf. This is a heart-wrenching story about a young girl who was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which some call brittle bone disease. It is a great look at the challenges families face when a child is born with health issues. I cried reading this book, but I loved what I learned from it. I hope you will too! Please let me know of other great books you have read lately.

Thanks for the suggestion.. I have been on a real haitus-got to get myself back and do what I enjoy--READ!!
I love Jodi Picoult books. I just read Happens Every Day - it's a memoir about a woman going through a divorce. It's raw and it's inspiring. You will strive to be a more attentive wife after reading this because the title is so true - it does happen every day! I could not put it down.
Thanks for the suggestion...just ordered it from the library!
Great sounding book... you never know what life has in store for you. ;)
Thanks. Gonna check that out.
Going right now to order it from the library...thanks! My mom has a family in her preschool that have a child with this very sad disorder.
what I love about JP is that she has this uncanny knack of getting you to see both sides of the story... and appreciating both sides. I will have to check that out... as well as Happens Every Day. Thanks for the suggestions!
I loved this book too. I love anything that Jodi writes. She just came out with a new book, I can't wait to read it. I'm sure you'd like it too!
Wise Blood- Flannery O'Conner. I'm about to start Wuthering Heights.
Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin and I am always reading The New Yorker. You might also like the Miss Reade series about life in an English country village.
OOH! This looks like a great summer read. Putting it on my list.
