Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal
What have you finished reading?
1. Stay with Me by Ayobami Adebayo - I had started this one a few days ago, but I finished up most of it this morning! Very good, very interesting insight into the culture in Nigeria, 4 stars! I won't start counting pages read or books for this one though, since I had over half of it read before the Read-A-Thon started!
2. As Bright as Heaven by Susan Meissner - I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I really enjoyed the historical aspect of it and the way it jumped between character points of view! Another 4 star read.
3. My Name Is Memory by Ann Brashares - Meh. Didn't really enjoy this one much. I got swept away halfway through, but the ending wasn't really an ending and it was quiet annoying. 2.5 stars
4. The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine - It took me a while to get into this one. I hated the main character's point of view, and the dialogue seemed so forced. The ending was great though. 3.5 stars
