sherry's monthly reads

[Sherry]

only 4 books, but 2 BFB's.

We Are Water- wally lamb- loved it
The Art of Hearing HeartbeatsJan-Philipp Sendker- another really good read
The Goldfinch-donna tartt- it seemed like it took me forever and a day to read this- although i didn't hate this as much as liz did, i didn't really like it. i've read one of tartt's other books and enjoyed it but tried to read another and couldn't finish it because it was so wordy. overall, i liked the story, but don't care for the way she writes. if i wasn't reading it with all of you, i probably wouldn't have finished it.
Sycamore Row-john grisham- a fast read, definitely needed after reading the goldfinch.

Wow, 3 of the 4 are on my list, 1 I have already read. Must do some re-shuffling!! We have a snow storm coming tomorrow, so maybe I will get some books read, or organizing done
:)

As long as you got 2 good ones you're doing okay!

I was glad to have your thoughts in the discussions of The Goldfinch, Sherry - so I am glad you read it too. I found myself thinking of the book yesterday when the news of Philip Seymour Hoffman's overdose death broke.

Glad to hear you loved the Wally Lamb, Sherry.

It was so fun to hear everyone's perspective on The Goldfinch, What shall we read next?

you need to check out the emilie richards one mountain away and the one my sister dropped off today somewhere between luck and trust. they are good.
