Beloved was on my to-read list for a long time because I liked Song of Solomon and The Bluest Eye, but I was afraid to read it because I had heard it was a hard book to understand. When I finally read it, I enjoyed the story. I hadn't read anything else like it before and that alone made it enjoyable. 2006 top ten list of ALA most frequently challenged books.
This was just as much completely unreasonable fun as the other one. Maybe more, because I think this is the one with the handbag, and boy, do I know about that hand bag thing. Probably why my father gave this to me in the first place, and who knew that my father of all people would know me so well? (yes, we kinda insult each other with the books we give each other. It's a family tradition and it doesn't have anything to do with our actual reading preferences. Or our relationships with each other. Although, okay, maybe it does. Although, I gave my mother DVDs for christmas, so what does that say?) I tell myself that I'm completely not like shopaholic, because the way she ends up bankrupt all the times drives me insane because it is SO SO stupid, but really, I'm so her. Only without the bankruptcy.
