These are my latest reads. All three were quite enjoyable! Check 'em out!The Pearl, by John Steinbeck
A short story I was never required to read in highschool, but by one of my favorite authors. It follows a poor, young fisherman who finds a very precious pearl in the ocean, which subsequently brings great change upon his small family, and reveals facets to his personality he never knew existed.
Gift from the Sea, by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A memoir of sorts written by a woman on vacation alone. She ponders the relationships of her life and compares them to sea shells. An inspiring read, quite quoteworthy!
Katherine, by Anya Seton
My mom left this book at my house for me to read. (Thanks, Mom!) It was a good one, based on real people, Katherine and John, the powerful Duke of Lancaster. They were in love for many years and married toward the end of their lives. It all happens amidst much peasant revolting in England in the 1300s.
PS: 36 weeks today! If I had been on bedrest, I would have officially been allowed to get up today. :)

thanks for the recommendations. they all look good. i know i read the pearl in high school, but i would probably appreciate it a lot more now.
Loved the pearl and memoirs from the sea.. I'll have to check out Katherine. Have you read "The Giver?" Another short one... so good!
Hi Leslie, just wanted to say thanks for the book recommendation. I've read "The Pearl" (John is also one of my very favorite authors...Have you read "The Winter of Our Discontent"?)and "Gift From The Sea" but not "Katherine" so I'm going to try to get it at the library next visit!
