When I'm done Girl, Interrupted I'm gonna start this one: Here's the description of it..... To five-year-old Jack, Room is the entire world. It's where he was born and where he and his Ma eat and play and learn. At night, Ma puts him safely to sleep in the wardrobe, in case Old Nick comes. Room is home to Jack, but to Ma, it's the prison where Old Nick has kept her for seven years, since she was nineteen. Through ingenuity and determination, Ma has created a life for herself and her son, but she knows it's not enough for either of them. Jack's curiosity is building alongside Ma's desperation -- and Room can't contain either of them for much longer...
Told entirely in the inventive, often funny voice of Jack, Room is a celebration of the resilient bond between parent and child, and a brilliantly executed novel about a journey from one world to another. I've been waiting oh so eagerly for this book to get into my hands!

The first half totally kept me hooked. The second half was a little duller but totally worth it. Definitely read it!

LOL I could wait a few weeks although I did see the book at Walmart lastnight and was tempted to buy it. If I had a giftcard I could buy it....hmmmmmm...maybe I will wait a few weeks and see...

I bought 'ROOM' lastnight. It looks so good!
I am just in the middle of Stephen King's new short story book. It is quite good. I also just finished a book called The Weight of Silence. It is a Fiction book (which I usually never read) about two best friends, little girls - who go missing at the same time from their beds in the middle of the night from their homes. Each family has their secrets which come to light during the investigation. It was a good read.

That sounds like a good one. I'll have to remember to look for it. I'm trying to keep to light reading right now. Trying to keep things happy and uplifting until my mood settles. And I hope you like Room as much as I did. I thought it was great.

I started it Friday night and couldn't put it down. I thought it was brilliant how it was written from Jack's point of view. It made me think alot about how we do things in the world and it's depressing sometimes. I also realized that I kinda like closing my curtains and locking my doors and existing in my own little world somedays. When I got near the end of teh book I kind of didn't want to finish it - I didn't want it to end - lol What did you think of it? You never really told me...I know you were excited when you got it!

I thought it was excellent. I couldn't put it down, I was so inviolved in it. However once they were rescued I kinda lost the "OMG, whats gonna happen next? " I still really enjoyed to the end but the first half was amazing!

You would like it! I am also reading alot of Denis Lehane books: Check him out - I especially love Mystic River, he also wrote Shutter Island... www.dennislehanebooks.com/books/
