weekly book post
Hey girls,
I am almost finished reading For Better or For Worse by Diann Hunt. It was on the bargain books rack at B and N weeks ago and I got it. It is about a divorce lawyer and a widow who runs a chapel and the lawyer is building a lodge next door to her chapel. It is really good. It is better than I thought it would be. It is about her family and her relationships with them too. I am going to finish it tonight. It is Christian literature/fiction I think, which I didn't realize until I started reading it but it is not overly religious. It mentions God and praying more than regular fiction. I am not sure what I am going to read next. Probably start Popped, a Carol Higgin Clark mystery, which is in the series she writes about a PI.
Re: weekly book post
I finished Let's Roll last night. It's written by Lisa Beamer, the wife of Todd Beamer who was on Flight 93. It was really good - it's all about their lives growing up, their life together and then her life in the few months following 9/11. It's definitely more of a faith based book, since that's how they live their lives. But I recommend it - it's not a sad book at all! Uplifting if anything.
Next up: Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin.
I finished The Count of Monte Cristo on Sunday. No more classics for me for a while, I really do not enjoy them.
Now I am reading Thirteen Reasons Why. It is a YA book about a boy listening to 13 tapes left behind by a girl who committed suicide. Each tape is about one person who led to her wanting to kill herself. It sounds morbid, but it is good and has sucked me in!
Some of my students love the Clementine books!
I've been ready a whole bunch of kindle specials lately. Nothing worth mentioning, but they are quick and fun reads!
Lburkey-I am going to put Let's Roll on my to read list. I remember seeing her on tv on all the news programs (dateline, etc.) after 9/11. I liked Heart of the Matter. I didn't want to put it down when we were in Cayman. When DH wanted to go to the beach one morning, I told him let me read one more chapter!!
Mel-I don't think I could read what you are reading about suicide. I am not big on the classics either but am determined to read Catcher in the Rye. I never read it and picked it up at Target in college and started it but didn't buy it. Years later I bought it but still have not read it.
