book recommendations

i got so many great book recommendations the other day- thank you! i wrote them all down and took the list to the library and i thought you might be interested in what i'm reading now. i narrowed it down based on what was available at the library that day {and some personal choice too, of course}

currently reading: people of the book by geraldine brooks 

{over half done and loving it}

on standby: on beauty by zadie smith

water for elephants by sara gruen

the corrections by jonathan franzen

and to return the favor, here are a couple of my personal recommendations:

empire falls by richard russo

flight by sherman alexi
