I just finished the best book that I have read in a long time (and I read a lot of good books)! It is "The Sister," by first time novelist Poppy Adams. It tells the story of a reunion between two elderly sisters after decades of estrangement. As they begin to rehash old family history they discover that each has a very different memory of events, as well as a lot of secrets. It is truly haunting and thought-provoking. Also, it goes against current tradition by being a relatively short book (about 270 pages). Maybe it could help some of you "Twilight" fans work through your grief now that the vampires have been put to bed.

I just finished the last page of Breaking Dawn not five minutes ago so I'm in the market for a new book. I will definitely check it out.
