Angelina Ballerina

by Katharine Holabird and illustrated by Helen Craig. This is a charming book about a small white mouse and her little adventures. There is a complete series and each book is as charming as the first. The illustrations really are what makes this book. There's usually some sort of moral involved and this is a great book to read to your favorite child.

Flowers for Victoria

by Susan Jeffres is inspirational Christian Fiction and I picked it up because it had a pretty cover and won an award, possibly the Christy award for best inspirational fiction. While the story line is intriguing enough the book just isn't holding my attention and the chapters seem to drag on. I am going to push through and keep reading it on my lunch breaks and try to find out if it deserved the award it received. This is my current "lunch break" book and I've read about half of it.

White Coat

At least three Christmases ago my grandmother gave me a book entitled White Coat by Ellen Lerner Rothman, M.D. This book has traveled with me untouched through at least 5 different moves and up until a week ago sat on the third bookshelf in our book case sized along with other miscellaneous topics of books. This is Ellen's personal account of becoming a Doctor at Harvard Med School in which she describes in minute, but not boring, detail the experiences of applying to, getting in, going through med school and going on from there. Chronicles what you need to do and what you need to know (or not know) to become a Doctor and how even as a first year med student with no practical knowledge of medicine you are respected and revered because of the white coat you put on daily. This is my "at home" book and thus far I've read through pg. 90/335.
