Finished and about to start another

So, I just finished Out of Sight, Out of Mind. This book was not quite what I was expecting - there wasn't as much paranormal activity as I imagined - even if it was a large part of the background/premise of the story. Although often Amanda, the protagonist, is not very likeable, the story does explain well her reasons for her actions. Marilyn Kaye offers an interesting perspective on the stereotypical snottiness of the "popular crowd." Tracey's gift was also quite interesting - I'm sure everyone has at some time or another wished they could be invisible (I know I have) but it is also sometimes frustrating, as Tracey shows. This was not by any means a difficult read, but all in all it was enjoyable and I will be looking into more of the series, if only to get a better understanding of some of the other gifted students.

Having finished this, I'm moving to the next in my stack. This book is one that I've had many people tell me is a really good book, but I've never read it. Last week, at work, it was on a cart of books that I was shelving. I chose to not shelve it, but instead check it out. So, now I'm about to start The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. I know very little on what the book is about, but I shall soon find out - as long as the rain stays stopped for the moment.
