Ah, I really liked this one. I just checked out The Sellout to continue my Man Booker long list reading.

Finished by Scott Stambach- 3 Stars.

Deformed boy in a home for gravely ill children meets a beautiful girl with leukemia. So much STUFF, but ultimately just didn't love it.

August - I have just finished Dickens' Martin Chuzzlewit. A long read. Now I've started Graham Greene's The End of the Affair, which I have in a lovely Centennial edition cover that I recommend. It looks a short read so then I'll move onto GK Chesterton's The Complete Collection of Father Brown stories.

Finished by J.K. Rowling- 5 Stars.

Reunited and it feels so good....

Started two new audios today. In the car is Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon which was picked for a driving trip with Husband, only we didn't listen to it. On my iPad is Keep Me Posted because I read about this book in the newspaper for my hometown and the author is from there, too.

Finished by Fredrik Backman-- 5 Stars.

I can't remember the last time I had such a powerful month of reading. This makes my 4th 5 Star read this month!! Absolutely fell in love with this book. Book Hangover in full effect today...

I just finished. A wonderful book! I fell in love with the main character Perdu. Its a book about love mostly. Love for books,for people in the present and the ones we lost, for France. And love within. It was a charming book.

Ooh, I'm moving this one up on my TBR! I've been eyeing it for a while. What did you think of Harold and Queenie? I LOVED the Harold Fry book but Queenie made me want to punch her on a routine basis! I did love the writing and the rest of the hospice characters though, so it sort of averaged out.
