Woot! I’m now 3 books closer to my 2014 book goal! I’ve read 10 out of 14 for the year. Maybe I should up my goal. At this point, 14 books doesn’t seem like much of a challenge.
I already told you how much I loved Me Before You. Seriously, if you haven’t read it yet, put it on your list!
After that though, I needed some excitement and mystery. Enter…The Weight of Blood. This book covers not one, but TWO murders…one from the present and one from the past. I liked that the narration jumped back and forth from a 17yo girl in the present to her mother in the past (who disappeared when the daughter was only 1 and no one had heard from her since). Excellent read! I tore through it pretty quickly.
Still Alice has been on my “to-read” list for awhile and I finally got around to it. I have no rhyme or reason for picking which book I read next. It just depends on my mood and which sample pulls me in enough to continue reading. Still Alice is about a successful 50yo woman who is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers. It was sad and draining and made me paranoid, but it was a great read.
I just finished Still Alice last night, so I’m reading a few samples to try and figure out which book I want to read next. I currently have samples of Where’d You Go Bernadette, Attachments, Gone Girl, Veronica Mars, Orphan Train and Shotgun Lovesongs on my kindle. We’ll see which one makes the cut?
