So now you understand me? Good. But guess what? Now my problem is solved! If only temporarily. Last night, I brought all my newish books that I haven't read yet to my mom and explained to her why I had difficulty reading them, and then she looked through her small collection of books she has already read and ended up handing me "The Client," by Josh Grisham.
At first I thought the book would be a snap. It's pretty much under the mystery category. But, boy, little did I know that when I started reading the first chapter, I wouldn't be able to put it down. Even if it was just plain freaky. Here's exactly what it says on the back cover:
IN A WEEDY LOT ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF MEMPHIS, TWO BOYS WATCH A SHINY LINCOLN PULL UP TO THE CURB...
Eleven-year-old Mark Sway and his younger brother were sharing a forbidden cigerette when a chance encounter with a suicidal lawyer left Mark knowing a bloody and explosive secret: the whereabouts of the most-sought-after dead man in America."HEART-POUNDING!" -The Orlando Sentinel
Now Mark is caught between a legal system gone mad and a mob killer desperate to cover up his crime. And his only ally is a woman named Reggie Love, who has been a lawyer for all of four years."GRISHAM IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTER!" -The Washington Post
Prosecuters are willing to break all the rules to make Mark talk. The mob will stop at nothing to keep him quiet. And Reggie will do anything to protect her client-- even take last, desperate gamble that could win Mark his freedom...or cost both of them their lives."ENGROSSING!" -San Fancisco Chronicle
OK, ok. So technically it's an adult book, but my mom told me that it doesn't have any sexual stuff. So I'm safe. Mwahahahahaha.... >=D

Wow! What a very adult book. Btw, it's JOHN Grisham, not Josh. I think it's John, at least. I know it's definitely not Josh. Grisham's a very famous author, btw. I'm proud of you for reading such an adult book! Not to baby you or anything, but it's just surprising.
I wish it sounded interesting me so I could read it too, but the only mystery I like much nowadays is Agatha Christie's books. So...sorry. But I'm glad you found a good book to read and hope you find more, good luck!
P.S. Read "Dark Heart" by Betsy James. 'Tis awesome. But read "Long Night Dance" by the same author first. Its sequel, "Dark Heart," is better, though (and do you mind a tad of romance? Don't worry, it's just cute stuff).
Bloomi...you haven't commented on my blog in FOREVER! Why? I guess 'cause you've relatives visiting and are/were sick...but still, I miss your comments! And I've been posting for the last week and got no comments from you! Please comment on my most recent (4 or 5) posts when you can....
