Just finished a great book called Little Bee by Chris Cleave. It was the kind of book that you can breeze through. It was a really engaging book that I didn't want to put down.
It's the story of 2 women - Sarah, an Englishwoman, and Little Bee, a Nigerian refugee. I love books like this - the kind that start in present day and then catch you up with the story by taking you back to the past. There was a terrible thing that happened to Little Bee and Sarah in the past. They reconnect when Sarah's husband dies and we learn about the integrity of both women. I have to admit that the ending was a little disappointing; however, it's still a good read.
I'm linking over to a great book blog that I found recently called Food for Thought. This blogger must read around the clock - I'm so envious. She gives great book reviews and relates the books to food - two of my most favorite things! Check it out!
Oh, and tell me...what are you reading lately?
