I would like to buy The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides as a gift but the person wants the original cover.

There are several covers available and I don't know which is the original.

Does anyone know?

Book Title: The Tiger's Child

Author: Torey Hayden

Category: Abuse, special needs

# of pages: 264

My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best].: A

Short description/summary of the book: This is the sequel to One Child. (See my post on that here: http://community.livejournal.com/books/1991849.html?mode=reply) Tiger's Child picks up with Sheila's life from when she turns 14.

My Thoughts: I liked this book a lot. I just had to keep reading in order to find out what was going to happen with Torey and Sheila's relationship and with them as individuals. These two books have made me want to meet Sheila and Torey, or at least write to them.

It's amazing to me to hear what a person, especially a child, can go through so much and come out not only alive but functional in life. These things include molestation from a family member, abandonment, an alcoholic and drug addicted father, foster care and simply not fitting in.

I think Torey Hayden's books are important for anyone in general and for anyone that is fighting with abuse, wants to work with special needs kids or someone that wants to read a hardship story.

Books read this year: 50\50 (WOOHOO!! I'm excited about that.)

Next read: Murphy's Boy by Torey Hayden

I'm looking for recommendations, with the following limitations:
- Fiction.
- Nothing published before 1990.
- No westerns, no high fantasy (like LOTR).
- No books on bestseller lists or by an author who's had a book on the bestseller lists.
- No books by authors who've published more than 5 books.

In other words, I'm looking for good but somewhat obscure books.

Thanks!

Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you.
Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s become an undisputed expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a tight-knit group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. And the worst part is, she knows it’s her own fault. Speaking of friends, the only two Zoey has left are undead, unMarked, and unable to stop bickering with each other. So who can blame her for befriending the House of Night’s newest transfer student, the majorly hot Olympic archer, James Stark?
Meanwhile, Neferet has declared a war on humans after it appears that the People of the Faith have murdered two vampyres. But Aphrodite’s latest visions show a world completely different from the High Priestess’s promises, a world full of violence, hatred, and darkness, all because of Zoey’s death—and the only way it seems she can prevent it from happening is to make things right with her friends. Zoey knows in her heart that fighting with humans is wrong. But will anyone listen to her? Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened in PC and Kristin Cast's spellbinding fourth House of Night novel.

This is probably my least favorite book in the House of Night series so far. It still is a captivating story but I didn't care for the plot line in this one quite as much as the other three. However, it it still very entertaining and I cannot wait t o read the rest of the series! I also just found out that there is going to be a new book released in May! They write these so fast haha!
Books read this year: 50/50--I finally made my GOAL!!!!!!! :)
