My pick this week is White Oleander by Janet Fitch. I'm coming into this with very little knowledge of it. I didn't see the movie when it was out, so I don't have any preconceived notions of it. I generally prefer to read a book before I see a movie, usually because the book tends to be better in most cases.
On another note, I may have found a loophole in my ban against buying new books. Paperbackswap.com is my new favorite website. You can post any of your books that you want to get rid of. When someone orders one of your books, you get a credit for a free book. The only cost is the cost of shipping the book when it is ordered. Also, when you sign up, if you post 10 books you get 2 credits. So right off the bat, I have 2 books coming my way at no cost to me! And, of course, after reading them, I will post them back up on the site so someone else can read them.
