#11 Same Kind of Different As Me

Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall, Denver Moore, and Lynn Vincent.  
I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down.  Another book for my book club - someone has good taste.  I was really captivated by the characters (though they are actually real-life people they came off as characters because of their unique circumstances) and enjoyed the way the authors arranged the chapters, alternating between voices (same as in The Help).  Although my one negative about that technique was that some of the chapters did not alternate, which threw me off for the first few paragraphs of that chapter.  This book centered on faith, friendship, and death, and it got me thinking about my marriage and how precious my time is with Nathan.  It is pretty much inevitable that one of us will pass away before the other. And although "life" (dishes, dirty diapers, having to be somewhere on time, etc.) sometimes gets in the way, I really want to try to cherish every moment that we have together.

#10 If You Could See Me Now

If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern.
This book was not as good as Ahern's other book, PS I Love You.  In the end I wanted a little more for the main character, and the plot was a stretch, an adult imaginary friend that she and her adopted nephew could only see helping her through her tough times - Really?  But I got out of it what I wanted -  a quick read over Christmas vacation.
