Books I'm reading now...books on my list.

Quirky, Yes Hopeless, No by Cynthia La Brie Norall, with Beth Wagner Brust

This book on Asperger's syndrome is co-authored by my very good friend and first writing colleague Beth Wagner Brust. Beth is a wonderful writer (and an amazing critique partner). "Quirky" covers all aspects of issues faced by children with Asperger's Syndrome.

One of my favorite quotes in the book comes from the section Dating and Gender Talk.

"During one Gender Talk session, a girl said, "Love is like a roller coaster. When it is good, you don't want to get off. When it is bad, you just want to throw up."

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. A fun read.

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. Loved it!

Bicycles: Love poems by Nikki Giovanni.

I came across this books in Indigo when I was in Canada this summer. I picked it up and fell in love from the first page where Giovanni explains the title:

"Bicycles: because love requires trust and balance"

Each poem is a gem.
