Just finished this book and I'm still crying. So good, so inspiring, so touching and raw and real. If you have a free weekend, spend it with this book!

So a couple weeks ago I bullied and annoyed my mother into downloading Pride and Prejudice on her kindle so she can enjoy the beauty that is my favorite Jane Austen novel, even though she can't stand Regency novels. I'm feeling accomplished.

(Update: she hated it...)

So I heard these books were good, but that doesn't even come close to describing how they made me feel, how they made me think about the world differently and the moments where I just wanted to point and say, "I've felt exactly like that, too!" If you get the chance, read these books, and then read them again and again. But have tissues on hand...

This is how I spent my Friday night. A great book, a glass of wine, and the sweet sound of Meatloaf serenading me in the background...
