The Nanny Diaries by: Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus
Wow, this is a good book if you are looking for something funny to read. It is about a girl named Nanny and she becomes the nanny to a boy named Grayer, and her job goes from being part time to full time because when you become a nanny, you are basically raising someone else's child even though that person, isn't even doing anything, Like in the book the mom's name is Mrs. X, and she just goes to the spa all day, or she goes shopping. I think that this is like a light reading book because you don't really have to think while you are reading it, its not deep and moving it is just a light read. =D
A Thousand Splendid Suns
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Wow talk about an amazing book, I could not put it down it is so informative. It taught me so much about how women in other parts of the World live, so this book is about a girl named Mariam, who lives in Afghanistan and she is a "love child" this story follows her for about 30 years. She is the daughter of a wealthy man named Jalil and His old housekeeper Nana. Jalil already has 3 wives so Nana and Mariam are forced to go live in this little run down shack on the outskirts of the town that he lives in, He comes and visits Mariam every thursday and one thursday Mariam asks if she can go to the Cinema, so the next day before she leaves Nana Says "If you go I will die" and Mariam just thought that she was being Dramatic, so she goes and Jalil does not even see her and she stays outside of his fence the whole night the next day she is forced to go home and when she gets there she finds out that Nana has hanged Herself. So then Mariam is forced to marry Rasheed a couple weeks later and Rasheed is like 40 years old, Mariam was only like 15 at the time. Well, your going to have to read the rest because this book is just amazing!!!

I Capture the Castle
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
Wow can I say Amazing!! This book was so good it took me like a week to read because like it was written like almost 60 years ago so you have to think about the language not only because it is a little old but also because it takes place in England. This book is about this girl named Cassandra her beautiful sister named Rose, Her eccentric stepmother Topaz, Her wash-out dad who hasn't written a book in more than 15 years, her smart little brother Thomas, and Stephen the son of their old maid, who just stayed after his mother passed away. About 10 pages into the book Neil and Simon Cotton show up they are the sons of the man who owns the castle that Cassandra and her Family (plus Stephen) live in. They come and soon after Rose and Simon are engaged and Cassandre realises that she is in love with stephen and wants to know if Rose is in love with him because she knows that Rose wants to marry him because he has money and Cassandra and Fam. live in total poverty. At the end of the book Rose and Niel run away together and Cassandra is still left crushing on Simon. This is a really good book I think that everyone should read it.

Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
When I said that a book was my favorite I lied, well I wasn't lying at the moment but this book is pure, and Amazing. It is possibly the best book I've ever read. Jane Austen is awesome, this is the only book that I've ever read by her and I loved it, I want to read the rest of them, I think that I am going to read Persuasion next. I saw the movie before I read the book (I know that, that was very bad.) and i loved it but I think watching the movie first definitely ruined the end for me, at the same time it helped me understand the book better, than if I didn't know what was happening. So I completely fell in love with these charaters, they go through so much only to fall in love with the person that they thought that they hated (cough* Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy*Cough). I think that anybody who loves romance books and doesn't mind the 18th century language would love this book.
