Two Great Books
I've been meaning to post about this book I finished a few weeks ago. It was fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good read. It's called the Time Travellers Wife and it's by Audrey Niffenegger (thanks Jeff and Fiona!). It's about a man who time travels back and forth in time. Here's what the back says "When Henry meets Clare he is twenty-eight and she is twenty. Henry has never met Clare before; Clare has known Henry since she was six." Henry gets periodically displaced in time to emotionally significant events in his life. He repeatedly travels back in time to Clare, his wife, when she is a child. He travels back in time to see his parents before he was born. Sometimes he travels back to happy times or finds himself in the middle of a fight or he travels forward in time to see events that havn't happened yet. It's a great book but it can get kind of confusing if you don't read it frequently because you have to keep track of where Henry is in time. I suggest picking it up when you have an hour to dedicate to it, but then after an hour you won't be able to put it down ;o) Read it and let me know what you think! I'm reading another 'page turner' right now and I'm sure that you'll hear all about it when I'm done.

I too love, love, loved this book and cried a bit at the end. It's supposed to be coming out as a movie. This will most likely ruin the book, but I will hold onto the hope that it will look exactly like it did in my head ;)!
