My latest read is from a book gifted to me, titled .....

The House Girl by Tara Conklin.

Synopsis from the back cover of the book about the story and the author:

"Lisa Sparrow is an ambitious young lawyer working on an historic class action suit seeking reparations for the decedent's of American slaves. Josephine is a seventeen year old house slave who tends to the mistress of a Virginia farm, an aspiring artist named Lu Anne Bell. Alternating between antebellum Virginia and modern-day New York. The House Girl is an searing tale of art, history, love, and secrets that intertwines the stories of two remarkable women," -- Marie Claire.

Tara Conklin has worked as an litigator in the New York and London offices of a corporate law firm but now devotes time to writing fiction. Conklin received a B.A. in History from Yale University, a JD from New York University School of Law, and an Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University. Born in St Croix, Conklin grew up in Massachusetts and now lives with her family in Seattle, Washington. The House Girl is Conklin's first novel.

For school I'm reading Frederick Douglass' memoir, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave.

It's a very good read. Douglass' writing is beautifully descriptive. I'm sure that this will cause some difficulty in reading as I go on, but I've only just started reading it thus far.

For my own self, I'm reading a collection of short stories by Flannery O'Connor. Another excellent writer. I enjoy it very much so far.

I also picked up a book on statistics but every time I open it I feel sleepy. Something about math makes my eyes just want to close.

I just breezed through an excellent short story written by James Patterson. The Medical Examiner is about a group of friends who work in professional agency settings and how they solve murder mysteries. If you like clear, concise, fast paced, page turner stories, you'll like Patterson as an writer of short story, crime fiction novels.

I've heard about these "short shots" of Patterson's! Good to hear they are a hit!
