The Bride Stripped Bare
by Nikki Gemmell

I'm afraid to even post this book.  Kate was asked to pick a risque book for our 30th Vanaheim reunion.  And so she picked a UK bestseller called the Bride Stripped Bare.  The author originally published it anonymously and I completely understand why.

This book is beyond risque.  It's insane.  It's really dirty.

And that's really all I need to say about that.

the Namesake
by Jhumpa Lapiri

I read this book after a glut of chick lit reads.
This was a book of grand scale - immigration, coming of age, loss, heartbreak . . .
The ending was perfect in that it was NOT perfect.
Jhumpa Lapiri can do no wrong.
