Boy, do I have a great book for you today!!
This book was recommended to me by y’all on Facebook and I’m so glad I took everyone’s advice and downloaded it on my kindle because I really can’t put it down! The book is told by two different perspectives, the first being a couple in India that gave up their baby girl for adoption, and the second being a couple in San Francisco with fertility issues that ended up adopting the little girl. It’s a page turner, to say the least, and reminds me of another one of my favorite books.
On that note, I think I’m going to pour a glass of iced tea, sit outside and read on. I’m thoroughly soaking up my last 24 hours of home!

Ahh thank you for the recommendation Jenna! I’m on the hunt for a new book and this one sounds great!
I love your book reviews
Excited to get going on the newest recommendation!
Enjoy your last day at home!!
That book looks great! I love your book reviews, they keep me reading and now that I have time to read I love them even more!
i’ve read so many new books from your reviews and loved them all. Can’t wait to try this one!
That definitely sounds like a page turner. Enjoy being home! At least the weather here will hopefully be welcoming for you when you get back.
Jenna, have you read The Hunger Games yet? Best book I’ve read in a really really long time!
omg i agree!! I loved that trilogy. They are of course coming out with the movie
I’ve heard of that series – so popular. But I’ve never seen it or read it…is it science fiction? Like a “Twi-light” sort of fantasy thing? …I thought it was a true story at first…;)
I love hearing why books you’re loving on…I’m going through books like a crazy person these days!
I always enjoy your book reviews so much! Reading at home and soaking in the last bits of your trip there sound fantastic. Enjoy!!
Hi Jenna!
This is my first time commenting on your site although I’ve been following you for a while now. I love your book reviews almost as much as I love your recipes. Please keep them coming! AND I can’t wait until your book comes out. You’re awesome. Keep it up!
Yay! Live it up, Jenna! Is it a million degrees in Georgia like it is in Arkansas? I can’t wait to get back to California!
I feel like I’m in my book store (Chapters’ here up North) whenever I come to your Book Review – all the books are what they have displayed at the front of the store as the Hot Picks or New Releases or whatever.
Your definitely a fiction girl aren’t you? I should start reading these.
I am always looking for new books to add to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
I just finished “Water for Elephants” and it was excellent. I don’t buy books, but it is possible my library has this one.
BAM! This just made me decide which book to buy for my flight next week. Thanks!
Oh good, I was one of the people who recommended this one! Glad you liked it!
Enjoy the last bits of your time at home. And this book…oh this looks excellent and I wish I knew about it sooner or would have ordered it from Amazon. Leaving for a trip soon but there’s always next trip, right, for pleasure reading ? And thanks for the linkback to the Interpreter of Maladies.
Safe travels back home!
Sounds like a great book- once I finish Water for Elephants I’ll be giving this one a try!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! It’s on my book shelf just waiting for me to read it!!!
Sounds super good Jenna! I love your Tuesday book reviews
Keep em’ coming!
Thank you so much for this recommendation! As someone who has been suffering from infertility for a year-and-a-half, this is on my list. I never heard about it before, so thanks for the share!
I saw that at the library and was thisclose to grabbing it – I’ll have to next time!
Sounds good! I love multi perspective books. I’ll add it to the list
Ooooh, Interpreter of Maladies is one of my favorite books too, and I’m looking for a new read. Will download this!

Thanks for the review! I hope you enjoy to the fullest your remaining day at home.
Sounds like another one I need to download to my Kindle! I need to recommend two books to you – Veil of Roses & Dreaming in English by Laura Fitzgerald (the second one is the sequel to Veil of Roses). I first read VOR a few years ago on a flight to the Caribbean and I was holding back tears by the end. I was super excited to see the author had a sequel out and I read it on our cruise last week…same end result (except this time I was reading it in our cabin so I could openly cry, lol). I think you’d enjoy both if you haven’t already come across them!
You MUST read this book, The Wilder Life. Like, now. http://www.amazon.com/Wilder-Life-Adventures-Little-Prairie/dp/1594487804/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305091606&sr=8-1
This is a great book! I really enjoyed it
I just started this book and I love it! I don’t think I will be getting any sleep tonight.
Oh, this sounds great!!! I’m adding it to my “to read” list.
Sounds terriifc, Jenna…desperately looking for an absorbing book!
Have fun soaking in every moment of Mom’s pampering!
Safe travels back to CA!
I LOVE reading, but I have to say that blogging has sucked away my free time I used to spend with books! I need to start squeezing it in again! This book will totally go on my ever-growing list
I am adding this to my list immediately! Your description reminded me of Jumpa Lahiri’s books and then I clicked on your link and saw the Amazon page for Interpeter of Maladies – great minds! Thanks for the recommend!
Is there any way you could add a tab at the top with all your book reviews? Or add the links into a page? I am looking for my first non-academic read of the summer and I’m trying to look through all of your reviews and realized that a page with links would be oh so much easier. Though if I’m just blind and you already have said list somewhere, feel free to ignore this
I just finished the book I’ve been reading…Water for Elephants, which was good…maybe I’ll read this next!
Im so excited! Has anyone read The Paris Wife? I just bought it and would love to hear some feedback??
Love the book reviews! Keep ‘em coming.
This has been on my to-read list forever… and the author is Canadian too… represent!!
I can’t stop reading it!!
I’m getting much needed alone time at my sister’s house while she is on vacation: coffee, a run in the sunshine, grey’s anatomy, and a cat to sit on my lap!
