What We're Reading...

Beth Says:

I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World by Eve Ensler: "Eve Ensler is a national treasure. No, Eve Ensler is a global treasure. She takes you into the emotional world of girls and women as no one else can, with humor, compassion, fire. If you are a woman or a girl, read this book. If you know a woman or a girl, read this book. Even better, see these works performed if you can - they'll blow you away!"

Bill Says:

Nurtureshock by Po Bronson & Ashley Merryman: "A very intriguing read for parents or teachers. I wouldn't follow this book blindly, as some hypotheses seem a bit more fleshed out than others. However, there are some very interesting (if counterintuitive) theories regarding concepts ranging from, race relations, how/when to praise your child, relational aggression, to, why children need a lot of sleep, and, why "gifted" programs don't really work."

Dinah Says:

Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert: There is no question that this is NOT as good as Eat, Pray, Love. You are not going to want to pack it all in and rush off to Bali, as Gilbert inspired with her sensational monster of a memoir. However, this next installment is a still a journey...of the heart, of reconciling what it is to be a modern woman who doesn't need to marry, but soon finds that she actually wants to. Once again, Gilbert uses her charm and wit to keep single women everywhere nodding and smiling in what is practically a hardcover therapy session.

Hadley Says:

The Book of Fires by Jane Borodale: "Agnes Trussel is seventeen and pregnant. With time running out until her condition becomes obvious to her family, she decides to go to London. It's 1752, and living conditions in London are miserable. Without family, work, or a place to live, Agnes chances upon a fireworks maker seeking an apprentice. She loves her new employment, but as time passes, she must make a plan for when her pregnancy can no longer be hidden."

Jonathan Says:

The Unlikely Disciple by Kevin Roose: "A Brown University student takes a year abroad...at Jerry Fallwell's Liberty University. The culture shock is just as rattling as if he had spent his year in Florence, though the friendships in VA might be deeper. Throughout Ruse is compassionate and objective, never demeaning or simplistic. Keep an eye on this kid..."
