Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Eilzabeth Gilbert's treatise on marriage. She writes a very interesting history of the institute of marriage. She finds that throughout history, marriage basically sucks for women--and that there really is no good reason to get married--except for love. And that truly isn't a very good reason to marry. She does find compelling reasons to marry her longtime boyfriend, and eventually learns to trust herself.

Austenland by Shannon Hale



This was a nice quick read--brain candy really. This was the first time I ever skipped ahead to find out the ending. I loved the chapter headings listing the main characters boyfriends and what went wrong with each of the relationships--some of them were hysterical.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fantastic finish to this series. This series is so well created, with believable magic systems, and interesting creatures and characters. The end was so unexpected and yet tied the book up so well.
