NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children by Po Bronson, Ashley Merryman

Fascinating. I know this is kind of a random thing for me to read since I don't have kids and likely won't, but I read a review somewhere (not sure where now) and it piqued my interest. If I did have kids, this book would have changed my approach. Since I don't have kids, it's merely very interesting.

A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines

Incredibly sad. But I'm glad I read it.

The Taking by Dean Koontz

Deliciously chilling. I really like Dean Koontz's books, though I haven't read anything by him for quite a while. However, my mom, who loves his books, strongly recommended this one, so I read it. As I said, it was deliciously chilling. It doesn't quite end as strong as it starts, which was disappointing (because the first half is fabulous), though the last two pages creeped me out again. This one is definitely worth a read, though.
