January 2009

Here's the list of books I read in January.

1. The double bind - Chris Bohjalian (book club)

2. Testing Kate - Whitney Gaskell
3. Girl most likely to - Poonam Sharma
4. Accidentally engaged - Mary Carter
5. Celebutantes - Amanda Goldberg

None of them really stand out to me as great reads. Lots of light, easy reads. The Double Bind was pretty good and had an interesting twist at the end.
