    Patrick O' Brian's Master and Commander: The Yellow Admiral

    One in a series of books about the life of a naval captain and his doctor friend (who also acts as a spy for the British) during the Napoleonic Wars. I LOVE the books!

    "Get Happy"

    It's a biography about Judy Garland. It was a really good book, but sad bc of how her life turned out towards the end of it.

    "10 Simple Solutions for Building Self-Esteem: How to End Self-Doubt, Gain Confidence, & Create a Positive Self-Image" by Glenn R. Schiraldi

    I am not done with it, but it was recommended by someone because I really struggle with my self-esteem. The title pretty much explains what it is about

    Just finished The Story, which is an abridged version of the Bible put in chronological order to read more like a... well....story. Now I'm half way into A Princess of Mars which is the book the new movie John Carter is from.

    Mine was a book about capturing Saddam...afterward I asked the author a few questions and had him sign it. Pretty neat.

    Now reading 'Ghost Wars' and 'The Bear Came Over The Mountain'.

    Guidelines and reasons why the Paleo diet works from a biochemists standpoint.

    AND

    Seven Deadly Sins by Corey Taylor
    Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman writes about his views on the Biblical Seven Deadly Sins - I've been a CT fan for years and I love his writing.

    Is A Princess of Mars any good? I was considering reading that next.

    The Help

    About African American maids in the 50's and how badly they were treated. So they all band together and write a book about their experiences with a white woman who doesn't agree with how things are. I recommend it!

    Not sure of the 'last' book I've read but I'm really close to being done with Life Size by Jenefer Schute. (probably the fifth time I've read it)
    It's about a young woman's struggle with anorexia. I really love the intense amount of description the author uses. I also love the relationship that sort of forms between the main character and her newly assigned nutritionist.

    I'm also currently reading the unabridged collection of Sylvia Plath's journals and The Mermaid Chair. Both wonderful books as well.

    Just added "the Story" to my Amazon wishlist. Love the idea! Word on the Street is pretty good, too. It paraphrases the Bible into things like emails and texts so that it's more palatable to teens.

    I read a lot of sci-fi and I really like it so far. I hope the movie holds up.

    Last book I finished was Red Mist by Patricia Cornwell. Current book, which is excellent, is "time was soft there" by Jeremy Mercer. It is about a journalist that moves from Montreal and Paris, and end up living in an old bookstore. Great character development, and paints a beautiful portrait of Paris of about 10 years ago.

    Red Mist is a continuation of the Scarpetta mysteries.
