February - Blind Date with a Book

[Stina]

This was so popular last year, there was a clamor to do it again! Have somebody choose a book for you to read, or pick a wrapped "blind date" book at a library or bookstore. Locally, we'll be drawing names at our December meeting for a book exchange at our January meeting.

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things - I bought this based on the cover, with no idea who the author was or what it was about, so I'm counting it here!

That works! How did you like it?

I am still reading the book Sho lent me, Scandalous Women: The Lives and Loves of History's Most Notorious Women, but I did finish The Guild, which was a surprise gift from my friend Caitlin last year, and Rosemary and Rue, which I read for the "fellow guildie recommendation" prompt in the Legendary Book Club of Habitica's Modest Reading Challenge. I greatly enjoyed both of them.

I thought it was pretty funny. Although she did tend to go over the top sometimes but I gather that's just her style. It came across as trying too hard sometimes. But I liked it!
