A Woman In Charge

Title: A Woman in Charge
Author: Carl Bernstein
My Area of Interest: Never read a book or much for that matter about Hillary. Thought it would be good.
Castaway - I got thru 8 CDs of 20. What I did read was good. A lot I didn't know about Hillary, and I even began to like her more, but the book just went on and on and on, and I couldn't take much more. I've got way too many on Mt. TBR that I want to get thru.

20 - We Are Their Heaven: Why the Dead Never Leave Us

Title: We Are Their Heaven: Why the Dead Never Leave Us
Author: Allison DuBois
My Area of Interest: I usually watch Medium with Mom, and found out about the books for her, she's got and read them all, and kept on me to read them.. so, I've started reading them.
Finished 01/29/08 - I enjoy Allison's writting, but I'm not all that fond of the stories from people she read for. I understand why she did it, and it does fit with the book, I just like her style better.

# 33 - Showbusiness: The Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Nobody

Title: Showbusiness: The Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Nobody
Author: Mark Radcliffe
My Area of Interest: The title sounded good, and I thought it would be fiction, like maybe a teen or something.
Finished 4/30/07 - This one surprised me. I really enjoyed it. It was non-fiction about Mark Radcliffe, and I enjoyed it. Some of the parts I didn't quite get, as I've never been to England and I'm not all that familure with English rock, landscape, or customs. Overall pretty good listen, and in the end I had heard of his last band.
