These are the books that i've read during this holiday!! They have certainly kept me entertained for the whole 2 months!

April Fool's Day- Its about the author's son who grew up with Heamophilia and later with AIDS...Its about how he and his family, his lover go through life with it till the last days of his life. Its a good book to read and it makes you feel so lucky to be healthy and without any life-threatening disease! A very touching story about love and life!

Vanishing Acts- As you all know, i read a lot of Jodi Picoult books and this is one of the latest i got. This book is about a women who finds out in her 30s that she was kidnapped by her own father from her mother. She was made to believe that her mother was dead. After almost 30 years of not knowing the whole truth, she is in search of her true identity. Read the synopsis here.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter- This book is about a doctor who deliver his own twins. One is healthy and normal and the other one with down syndrome. He makes a split second decision to give the daughter with down syndrome to a nurse to bring her to an institution. However the nurse runs away from the town with the child and raises the kid on her own. This act done by the doctor haunts him for life as he kept this secret from his own family and those around him! Nice book...looking forward to reading more of Kim Edward's Book!
