Five Days At Memorial
by Sheir Fink
I borrowed this one from the library.
A hard emotional book to read about very important ethical questions. I hate to admit it, but I didn't even realize how much went on during Hurricane Katrina at the hospitals until I read this book, it was an eye opener. I really am glad I read this well paced/written non-fiction book that made me take a step back and think.
4 (four) STARS
Fever
by Mary Beth Keane
I borrowed this one from the library.
This one had an interesting premise that actually delivered. Full of complex characters, ethical revelations, and a little bit of craziness, Fever is an interesting story about Typhoid Mary.
The Husband's Secret
by Lian Moriarty
I borrowed this one from the library.
I enjoyed seeing how four different women's lives connected in this opposite of light and happy novel about secrets and what ifs. This was a solid read.
The Storyteller
by Jodi Picoult
I own it.
The Storyteller has a frustrating and flawed main character, Sage, that I really liked. Although this book can be difficult to read at times due to its tough subject matter, I devoured it. I liked finding out the secrets that Josef Weber, the man who wants Sage to kill him, is hiding. This book proves just how powerful a story can be.
3 (three) STARS
California
by Edan Lepucki
I borrowed this one from the library.
It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I liked this adult dystopian novel with its dual point of views, funny tidbits, and interesting (but kind of hard to like) characters, but it lacked any adventure/action and well done world building. Bottom line, it was a little boring.
The Heist
by Janet Evanovich, Lee Golderg
I own it.
The Heist is a typical Janet Evanovich novel, but still worth reading.The main character, Kate, is a girl you would want to be. I loved how it reminded me a little of the television show White Collar and how it made me chuckle here and there. I will probably be reading the second one next time I am looking for a light read.
