Well I started to read this and got over 100 pages in last week, but then had to stop because of homework. Sadly I'm thinking I'm going to have to put this on the back burner for a while, possibly til December, before I can fully get back into it again.

Pittacus Lore books, starting with "I am Number Four"

I'm reading a family therapy book, "the family crucible" ,a broken family that actually seems to be more put together than mine, and how their two therapis help them become whole again, it has a lot of technical terms and theories as well, but a good read overall. 🙂

I was reading Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normalcy of Hating Your Body, but I think I've lost interest as I realize I don't agree with much of what the author is saying.

Guns germs and ammo by Jared Diamond - For pleasure
Theory and design in counselling and psychotherapy by Susan Day - for...erm...non pleasure - which btw is incredibly dry and boring.
