This has been a busy summer for me, but I did manage to read four books and I enjoyed them all. Two of them were part of Oprah's now defunct bookclub. My favorite bookstore offers an additional 20% off of books she selects, so I end up reading quite a few of them.
1. White Oleander by Janet Fitch - Good book until the end. It starts to drag about 3/4 through, but it redeems itself with a mediocre ending.
2. She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb - Aboslutely loved this book. I don't think there's anybody out there that can't relate to the main character, Dolores. I'd recommend it.
3. Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood (author's name escapes me right now) - Decent book, but not something to run out and buy. It held my attention, but it did leave something to be desired. I heard the book was better than the movie, if that tells you anything. However, it does give you a warm and tingly feeling at times.
4. I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb - Another good book. Lots of good commentary on relationships between siblings, parents and God. It's pretty long, but worth the read.

I bought her book Sex and the Single Sister. Some of the buzz around the book called it the Black answer to Candace Bushnell, SATC creator. We'll see.
