Chasing Rumi: A Fable About Finding the Heart’s True Desire by Roger Housden
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I could feel where Georgiou was when I allowed it to happen. The book has moved me forward, not through it’s depth or Roger Housden’s literary prowess necessarily, but by reminding me of something I have allowed to dissipate. That’s it really, it has reignited my desire for true beauty, reminded me of the truth that is. There is so much more than what is here in front of our eyes. We just need to see.
I also like how this book came into my life, as it proves a prevalent point in the novel of how things happen in your life right when you need them and for a reason. That is pretty cool.
I’m all Zen now. :]

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
My cousin gave this to me to read awhile ago. I remember she laughed a lot while reading it.
I brought it on a very long trip to the French Alps last week and loved it.
Elizabeth is fresh…I liked her style.
A simple review, I know. :]

I love to read, but rarely read an actual book, so when I do I like to publicize it. You’re welcome! :P
Here is my review of, “Water For Elephants”.
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I thought it was a great book. Every time I picked it up I was not disappointed, that was a bonus.
I found the circus and individual characters to be quite interesting. I could have cared more for Jacob and Marlena’s relationship than I did. It was never a great romance. I also thought she wrapped up the ending pretty fast and perfectly, but I don’t mind that part. :)
