Guess what I stumbled on.. ;)

a very interesting...
                             mind tickling...
                                         BOOK!

just got a newsletter from Goodreads and was reading it through just before lunch break was over..

and I tripped myself over a book I just have to read... and I'm guessing it's good.. or is my expectation too high? well, it's going right on my TBR list..

Ok, so it's called The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees 

From what I read of the review from Goodreads I'm guessing it's quite good.. This is not a biography, obviously, but an interpretation of the authors view of the character Jo of Little Women and its author Louisa May Alcott. I was a big fan of this book ever since I was a little girl and read it.. and I just can't wait to get my hands on it.. Since it's out only in hardcovers.. I'm guessing I'm going to have to wait till it comes out in Korea, which might take awhile. This book is McNees first debut and I know some may be skeptical towards new authors however, I'm all up for new and upcoming authors.. and who knows, it could turn out fantabulous!

ps.. don't you just love the cover?!

Women's Murder Club

Ok.. So this is originally James Patterson's series and ABC just recently made a TV series. I watched about 5 episodes and it seems really interesting. So, I thought it'd be nice to get the original story and try reading it.

The series is about four women working together to solve homicide investigations : Lndsay Boxer(Angie Harmon), homicide detective, Jill Bernhardt(Laura Harris), young assistant district attorney, Claire Washburn (Paula Newsome), medical examiner, Cindy Thomas(Aubrey Dollar), newspaper reporter.

It will be a nice relaxing read. However, I'll have to put in a special order since some of them aren't in stores here.. And since I have plenty of books waiting for to be read.. I guess I'm not in any hurry. But it surely is going on my TBR list.

"In Their Shoes" Challenge

I got to know about this challenge called "In Their Shoes" through Bybee. It starts beginning of next year until the end of that year and the challenge is to make a list of books related to memoirs, biographies and autobiographies and read it.

It's something different to do.
And it's also a good thing since I don't read that much biographies unless it's absolutely necessary.
So I've been thinking about what to read.. which ones to choose.. Because I'm not a fast reader even though I'd definitely love to be one I think it's safe to choose between 5~10 books..

Here are some that I'm thinking of... (for now)
1. "Song of Survival" by Hellen Colijn
2."Jane Austen: Her Life and Letters" by William and Richard Austen-Leigh
3."Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert
4. "A Beautiful Mind:The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash" by Sylvia Nasar
5. "Maria: My Own Story" by Maria von Trapp

I also want to read something on Audrey Hepburn but I can't choose which book to read... any suggestion?
