July 2024 Reads

I read 8 books this month   I enjoyed them all with 4 of them rating 4 stars, and 4 of them rating 3 stars.  Here are my thoughts on each one. The Husbands - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Holly Gramazio This was a fun book to read.    It stretched my normal “based in realty” self and it was an enjoyable ride.    There were a few plot holes and I expected a little more depth as far as what Lauren learned from the experience.    But overall it kept my attention and entertained.    Sometimes that’s enough from a book. The Drowning Woman - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Robyn Harding This was our book club pick for the month and it was a good choice.    I kept guessing where it was headed and was half right and half wrong.    It wasn’t always believable and the ending was a little too easy.    But getting there was a fun ride.   The plot does have some loose similarities to Housemaid - different settings but still a lot alike.    So y...

April Book Reviews

Hard to believe that another month has flown by and it's time for my much anticipated book reviews. (Read sarcasm there.) But whether you like them or not, I'm going to keep them up. I will try to keep them short though. So here goes - The first book of the month was "The Time Travelers Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. This book will mess with your head. This is the story of a man who has a genetic disorder that causes him to travel through time. It was a little confusing to me at times because of the past, present, future thing – even at times there being 2 Henry's at different ages. But it is an interesting concept and story. I would have liked to read more about why Clare was so attracted to him, but overall a good read - 5 stars. "Light on Snow" by Anita Shreve was my next read. It is a touching story of a father and daughter coping with the loss of their wife/mother and daughter/sister. The father couldn't stand the memories, loaded up the girl, N...

2009 Book Reviews #4

I'm way behind on my reviews so these will be short and sweet - or not so sweet depending on the book. Born Standing Up: A Comics Life by Steve Martin A interesting read. I was in college when I first heard of Steve Martin. In fact, Arkansas Tech was on his college tour - yes the balloon animals, dart through the head, etc. Saw it all. Not only is this story interesting because of it being Steve Martin's story, it is also interesting to read about the people that have been in and out of his life. Tears of the Desert: A Memoir of Survival in Darfur by Halima Bashir Powerful story written from the heart. It's sad to realize what is going on in different parts of the world. What to Keep by Rachel Cline A well written story. This covers parts of 3 different decades in Denny's life beginning with the distant, somewhat neglectful childhood thourgh adulthood as a successful playwriter. So Brave, Young and Handsome by Leif Enger A cowboy adventure story. The narrator is a p...
