Book 39: Heartburn


This was a re-read.  I LOVE this book, it always makes me cry.  The story of a woman who remarries in her 30's, thinking she's found true love, only to find out her husband has been cheating on her.  She has a small child and is pregnant and has to decide if she's going to forgive him or leave.  I love the movie too, Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep...perfection. 

Book 38: Dracula

Book 37: The Painted Veil

Book 36: Grand Ambition


Really interesting story about a real-life husband and wife who set out to run the rapids of the Grand Canyon back in the 20's, and set a record of the first woman to do so.  Unfortunately the couple goes missing and is never seen/heard from again.  I honestly hate mysteries that go unsolved.  I want to know the truth!  The author wraps up with what she thinks happened to the couple, but I'm not sure I agree with her version.  After reading this book, look up the real story and see what you think may have happened.  There have been eye-witnesses claiming to have seen one or the other years after they disappeared.
