Lee's Favorite Titles
Do you have too many books and too little time? Then you might want to follow Lee Sinclair's example and just read book titles! Her post on the Boomers and Books blog gives her top five favorites, along with some delightful runners up.
She writes:
Great titles relate to or reflect the content. So a well-named humorous book usually evokes a smile or even a laugh. A killer mystery title is intriguingly mysterious or perhaps has a dead body in it, while humorous mysteries slay you with their mangled clichés or deadly puns. Literary titles should be profound, of course; nonfiction titles should be informative. Et cetera.
It'll make you laugh. (My favorite: Thinner Thighs in Thirty Years.) Here's the link: Favorite Titles

Island Beneath the Sea - Isabel Allende
Do you like to learn a little history about other parts of the world while being entertained by a compelling story? Then you might enjoy Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende. The story takes place in Haiti in the late 1700s, and is written in the point of view (primarily) of a slave girl.
I've written a review of the book on the Boomers & Books blog. So rather than rewrite it, here's the link:
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did! And if you get hooked on Allende's writing (as I have), you'll also want to read Daughter of Fortune. That's my favorite, so far.
