I read Lucky by Alice Sebold. She is a powerful author. Great lists!

Ok, wait three months, and read Bossypants again. I only know one other woman who said "meh" about that book.

Can;t believe I am reading that Almost Moon. It is HORRIBLE! I bought the sample on the kindle and was hooked. Oh but now she is talking about how she has wanted to gouge her mothers eyeballs out. I don't know Anna, this is a pretty f-ed up book. Not to mention, I am borrowing my MOM's kindle. She is going to wonder what in the hell I am reading when she finds that one!
