Disintegration

I started this book before I left for San Diego, but just finished it today and it is really thought provoking (plus I love Eugene Robinson anyway and think he is brilliant!).  Basically this is a discussion about how there is no longer just one "black america" but now four.  How these four interact with each other, and society at large, is dissected in a palatable and concise manner.

Marry Him

Pretty freakin' hilarious (to me). She talks about how women hold out for the perfect guy and don't realize that he doesn't exist so you better scoop up a guy who's good enough and go with it or you'll be old and alone.  Sound depressing, but it was funny.

These Things Hidden

If you like Jodi Picoult give this one a try. Has a couple twists and turns that may keep you interested.

Heaven is for Real

Quick read.  Pretty much read half last night and the other half on my flight to Cali.  Interesting and thought-provoking.  I think it was even more thought-provoking because I was reading most of it as I was flying over the beautiful landscape of America and it does make you think about God.

The Strain

First I have to give props to my girl Diva for recommending this book to me.  Second I will give you all the same warning she gave me:  DO NOT TRY AND READ THIS BOOK RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.  I'm not gonna lie, I was a little scared of the dark while reading this. There would be nights I would read a little bit of it and then try and go to bed, and I couldn't.  I was like a 6 year old afraid of the boogeyman.  Real talk.  But I loved it and will definitely be finishing this trilogy.
