Besides the occasional James Patterson novels (more suited for tuning out on the beach), I’ve actually started reading a nonfiction book called ‘What Israel Means To Me’. It’s a great collection of short essays, poems, etc. answering the title question. A lot of it is very meaningful since I’m living in Israel until October and also gives a multitude of opinions. It’s great to read something that isn’t so biased or in the least one-sided. One fiction book that I recommend checking out (if you haven’t read it already) is ‘Five Quarters of the Orange’. It’s about the discovery of a French family’s secrets during WWII as seen through the daughter’s eyes after she returns to her hometown. I’ll be looking out for more recommendations from you!

We arrived in Singapore this morning! This is our next home for who knows how long … 3-5 years maybe? 🙂

OK – I really hope you like it! Keep me posted 🙂

I’ve read one of David Baldacci’s books and loved it. Will have to add The Innocent to the list. Thanks!

You always have the most interesting recommendations – love adding your books to my TBR list!
Hope you had (are having?) a great vacation, Camille!

I read The Hunger Games this past winter and although I really liked the first two and thought the last one was ok, I’m really glad I read them. They are fascinating!

Thank you for the recommendation. I love non-fiction books! Off to check out The Knife Man!

A friend of mine just recommended The Island by Elin Hilderbrand. It’s a “can’t put down” light, summer read!

If you love legal dramas, you’ll really love Defending Jacob. It’s so good!

I couldn’t put Prep down.. I’m not sure why. Maybe because I just really hoped to get more from it since so many people liked it before me? I agree with your assessment!
