The Help- I could not put it down, depicts life in Mississippi in the 1960s and is fabulous!
Spoken from the Heart- ok, if you like Obama or Clinton, this book might not be for you (and also I pity you if the above is true). This is Laura Bush's story of her life growing up in rural Texas, her life with twin daughters and her life as First Lady. I never knew how many awesome and incredible things she did behind the scenes, but she really was amazing! So So So So Good!
Let's Roll- Better late than never right? The story that Lisa Beamer wrote about her husband Todd Beamer, the man behind the plot on United Flight 93 on the morning of September 11, 2001. In case you don't remember, this plane, San Francisco bound, was hi-jacked and supposed to crash into the White House. Thanks to Todd Beamer and his new friends, it landed in a Pennsylvania field before it was able to get to the President. He was a really extraordinary man, and her story is tear jerking, but very worth it.
Common theme? Inspirational. I seemed to have been on an inspiration kick this summer.
