Alayna 1. White Oleander- Janet Finch
2. The Keeper- Sarah Langan (my 2nd time reading this book)
3. The Missing- Sarah Langan
4. You Suck: A Love story- Christopher Moore

I know its not alot, but i aim to read a lot more. And i also like to really get involved in a book. Cuz in the end its not about the number of books you read but how many impacted you, how many you remember.

Emily | 74 comments i agree with you about savoring a book for the impact. sometimes if i plow through too many i forget them. then, they're just pulp.

how is white oleander? i've got it on my shelf, but have never read it.

Brianah (mrsbrianah) I loved White Oleander when I read it in high school. Such an amazing work, especially for a first novel by any author! I hope you truly enjoyed it! That book has certainly impacted me, especially considering the similarities in the relationship with the mother and daughter in the book.

Alayna White Oleander is an amazing book, half the time i felt like i was reading a poem or something its, her style of writing is so different than any book i've ever read you should defintly read it. And yes i did enjoy it.
