I must be really busy at
work, because I've read a lot lately. I tend to use reading as a way to not do
work things... or maybe as a distraction... whatever. On the other hand, many
of these really do deserve their own, better review (maybe, I'll do that...
unlikely) rather than my usual summary outpost list. So, maybe I was also able
to read a lot because I was reading a lot of good stuff. That makes them just
fly by!
I continue to LOVE LOVE
LOVE The Ascendance Trilogy novels by Jennifer Nielson. I
think I expressed my disagreement that these are "middle grade" books
when I posted about the first one. Again,
I have no idea how these things are decided. This one had less torture, so
maybe it's for elementary kids!! Adventure, fun, and oh so many feels. Also, it
makes me realize that as much as the romance, kissy kissy stuff annoys me in
books, I totally miss it when it's missing... of course, I think the kids in
this book are 14... so, there really is no rush to the sucking face scene, I
guess.
What Alice Forgot by Liane
Moriarty was a book pick for Book Club. I liked it more than I thought I
would. It's about a lady who gets a bump on her head and totally forgets the
last ten years of her life, which happens to include the birth of her children,
her impending divorce, and what a total bitch she has become.
Dime! OMG. Heartbreaking. I wish it was farther from real life.
Here's the review I posted on
Goodreads for The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry: "
Walk, walk walk; think, think, think. Reflect, regret, recycle." It wasn't
bad. The stars means that I like it. meh. This was another book club pick. I
think it will lend itself well to discussion... so, if that's what you're going
for...
