Books I've read in 2010
I've been planning to post this entry for a while. I've come across a couple of blogs lately who have inspired me, and I've decided to make a list of all the books I've read so far this year. I read a lot of chicklit books so far this year, so I'm planning on reading more "mature" books for the rest of the year (mind you the last book I read was the new Shopaholic book yikes)

Lola's bookclub July
Wow I can't believe it's July again. I totally didn't have time for Lolas book club for June, but now in July I'm back on track. This months book is Sarah's key by the talented author Tatiana de Rosnay. I heard about this book via friends.
This is a book about Jews in France during second world war, and how it affects modern day France. We follow to parallel stories. One from modern France and one from 1942.
I'm gonna write a review about this book later, and give some backround information about the situation in France. I wish I'd read this book before I left for Paris so that I could've visited the places mentioned in the book.

Lola's bookclub update
Hi Guys
I just thought I would updated you all on the bookclub. As you maybe remember this months book is Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. If you haven't heard about this author before you should check her out. Her books is awesome (and no I'm not paid to say that).
This book is about a young amish girl who lives on a farm with her parents. She wakes up one morning and have painful stomach aches. She goes out to the barn, so that she won't wake up her parents. Because she lives on a farm, she knows what is gonna happen. She is giving birth. After a little while she gives birth to a baby boy, he's breathing and she can see that he's about to cry. She then gives him her finger to suck on so that he won't cry. She starts praying to God that he will fix the problem she have gotten herself in. She falls aleep, and when she wakes up the baby is gone. God answered her prayer.
The next morning the baby is found in the barn. Dead. The young amish is acused of murder. Why did she do it. Did she do it?
To find out the answer to that question you need to read the book :)

Lola's bookclub
I have had two unsuccessful takes on trying to make a bookclub in real life. Both of them started good but then slowly died. So now I have decided to try to make my very own online bookclub. Are you with me? This months book is Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult. http://www.jodipicoult.com/ This is one of my favorite author ever. All her books is amazing. I've read this book twice, once on holiday in Thailand and once this spring.
What I love about Jodi Picoult's books is that they always is about a moral dilemma which seems unsolvable, or maybe to some easy to solve. But as you read the books you realise that the picture has many colors, and that it's not just black and white. I love discussing her books with other people who have read them because we all notice different things.
