For tonight's reading pleasures, I have a book haul of four books I recently purchased from the Amazon Kindle book store. I included reasons why I was interested in reading them and links to Amazon in case anyone is interested in purchasing. Please let me know if anyone is interested in book reviews after I am finished reading!
Girl, Interrupted
Susanna Kaysen
This is the first book I plan to start reading. Surprisingly, I have never seen the movie version of this book and I am thinking that may come as an advantage to get the most out of the book. Having graduated with a psychology degree and working with people diagnosed with mental health, I am very interested in reading the perspectives of this book. Apparently it focuses on borderline personality disorder and life being hospitalized in the 1960's, both topics I find extremely interesting.
The Story of a Beautiful Girl
Rachel Simon
This book is actually the Amazon Kindle book deal of the day. So at a $1.99, who can go wrong? That is what initially drew me to this book, but after reading the subject material, I became instantly intrigued. It shows the love of an unconventional couple, a woman with a developmental disorder and a deaf man. Having worked with individuals with developmental disorders, this book description sparked an interest with me.
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Truman Capote
I have been obsessed with the Breakfast at Tiffany's movie for the past 5 years, I had Audrey Hepburn images adorning my college dorm room walls, yet I never read the book. My good friend had mentioned reading the book before and had said it is a must read. So I must say I am excited to read this.
My Horizontal Life
Chelsea Handler
I have watched the occasional episode of the Chelsea Handler show on E! and wouldn't call myself a die-hard fan. However, I find her funny and if a book is a New York Times best seller, I can trust that it may be a good read.
Song of the night: Alone Together- Fall Out Boy
