Just completed #43 (family member in title) - The Restaurant Critic's Wife by Elizabeth LaBan. Overall, this book was entertaining. The audiobook was good. I found, however, that the resolution was a too pat and didn't actually resolve the issues that real women deal with every day. Worth reading. 3.5 stars

Just completed #49 (used book sale) - Frog Music by Emma Donoghue. I had high hopes for this book, particularly given that Donoghue wrote Room. And I was really disappointed. The novel was disjointed, in plot, phrasing, pacing, and development. It was incredibly difficult to know the main characters, let alone care for anything that happened to them. That had nothing to do with the professions of the characters, but for me, it was entirely due to the oddly disjointed book. It got better by the end but not enough to improve my rating above a 3. Not worth reading. 3 stars
