- The Grocer's Son (French)
- Quinceanera
- Saving Grace (2000)

books I'm reading
- The Memory Palace by Mira Birtok

- The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski (yes, Oprah is right, it's a great book. You'll never look at dogs the same way again.)
- Golden Grove by Francine Prose (from point of view of girl whose sister dies unexpectedly. Was lighter than I expected given the subject matter)
