This book has become one of my favorites. It is an autobiography. Jeannette Walls is an Ivy League graduate and a reporter for a NYC newspaper. She didn't have a conventional upbringing and her adult years her parents chose to be homeless. It really is just an amazing story. Walls has a new book, a fictional story loosely based on her grandmother, called Half-Broke Horses. I'm very anxious to read it!

The Lovely Bones
This book will soon be at a theater near you. It is the story of a young teen who was murdered by her neighbor. She watches her family, friends, and even her murderer from "her" heaven as they cope and try to move forward. The first couple of chapters are intense because Susie retells the details of her death. The story as a whole is an interesting concept. All in all, this book is a good read.
