It's pretty good but I wish there was less description? I mean sometimes I hate authors that describe very little but this is like a whole paragraph describing how a frigging willow tree looks like.

awesome book i'd hafta say. Erickson portrays the life of Marie Antoinette in this historical fiction novel.
i really recommend it. it's like a part of history in modern-day language, kinda like a teen novel.

If you don't have the greatest concentration, all the names and historical events may be a bother to remember, but if your a history buff like me, it shouldn't be a problem, hehe.
Sundaresan's writing style, imagery, and the plot itself, which is roughly based on true events, make it a book well worth reading, I read the second one within two days.
So if your ever in need of a good book, pick up the Twentieth Wife

At first I was too ashamed to even pick this book up but I checked it out anyway and it's really not that bad...it's a quick, fun, guilty pleasure chick-lit kind of read. It's fictional but it's obvious that the story is heavily based on her real life, which makes it all the more entertaining. Don't read if you're not the type that likes shallow name dropping story lines...this book isn't meant to be taken seriously...and it's not written very professionally either but all in all, a fun little read.

Right now, I'm reading 'Paradox of Choice' by Barry Schwartz, and half of the time, I'm ridiculing the book. It is a good thing that the other half of the time, I am actually enjoying myself.
As far as fiction goes, I haven't been reading too much fiction, but I have been reading 'Invisible Man' by Ralph Ellison for months (I can't seem to finish it!). I decided just five minutes ago on an impulse that I'm heading to BN tomorrow to pick up 'The Giver' by Lois.. Lois something.
And to think, I use to think I'm just not a reader. Now I cannot study for school because I just want to read other books so much.
