Outliers

This is one of those rare non-fiction books that I LOVE!  This book is all about how successful people become successful.  It is so interesting!  I love that the author gives the story of a successful person (The Beatles, Bill Gates, etc.) that we all know and then he digs a little deeper.

If you read any of Malcolm Gladwell's other books or Freakanomics, you will most likely like this one as well.  I really liked this one because it gave lots of personal stories, which I always love!

I suggest you read this one.  :)

Little Bee


I found out about this book through a blog.  Then I read the back of the book.  It just seemed so interesting.  It basically says that two womens' lives were changed one day 2 years ago and now what is happening to them.  That's it...

What I will tell you because I don't want to be a spoiler is it is pretty heavy.  I liked the book and it made me think, it's just really heavy.... and I am not sure I loved the ending.

If you are feeling ready for a deep read, I say go for it.  If you want a beach read, this is not it.  :)
