So Behind: the last 8 books I've read:

Too many books! I should be recording them as I finish, but I plead the stress of moving, etc.

That Charming Man by Marian Keyes
I always like Marian Keyes. This book took me a little getting into, but as soon as I was in it, I couldn't put it down.

Sweet Love by Sarah Strohmeyer
I loved this book!!! Really loved it. I think it's my favorite chick-lit/women's fic book in recent memory.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
Oh book. I have read you before, but I adored you even more this time. Scary, creepy, all-too-plausible.

The Dog That Wouldn't Be by Farley Mowat
Night time reading, so I think I was only awake for 2/3s of it.

The Just-So Stories by Rudyard Kipling
Have been read before, and are guaranteed to make me sleep, for some reason, even though I think they are great and not boring in the slightest.

Sleeping Arrangements by Madeleine Wickham
I ... cautiously liked this one. I always like her better when she writes as Kinsella, and I kind of hate adultery as a plot device, so...

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
Lovely and heartbreaking and so much more careful and less "Hollywood" than the movie.

Bidding for Love by Katie Fforde
I really enjoyed this one.
