February Reads (7)


Total Books Read:  7 (7 Fiction)

 

5-STARS

*****This Time Next Year (Fiction, S. Cousens)

A light, not-too-cheesy rom-com. 

 

4-STARS

****The Four Winds (Fiction, K. Hannah)

Super depressing, but I didn’t expect it to be a ray of sunshine.  The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression.  But I read this book in less than 48 hours…it was a page turner for me, even though it was difficult.

 

****The Paris Library (Fiction, J. Skeslien)

This was excellent, and based on a true story of the American Library in Paris.  I almost gave it 5 stars, but it was VERY easy to put down, so it lost a star.

 

3-STARS

***Invisible Girl (Fiction, L. Jewell)

Lisa Jewell is hit or miss for me.  This one was just okay.

 

***A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow (Fiction, YA, L. Taylor-Namey)

Had a hard time getting into this one, but parts of it were very endearing

 

***The Age of Miracles (Fiction, YA, K. Thompson-Walker)

It’s been done before.  The Earth slowed down, making daylight extend for up to 60 hours and of course throwing everything else off in the process. An easy audio listen, but nothing spectacular.

 

2-STARS

**Midnight Blue (Fiction, S. Vandervlugt)

2 stars because of the descriptions of Amsterdam, one of my favorite cities.  The story and character development…not great.  It felt like it was trying to be ‘Girl With a Pearl Earring’, but failed.

 

DNF:

All the Bright Places (Fiction, YA, J. Niven)

Ivory and Bone (Fiction, YA, J. Eshbaugh)

20 Years of Reading

20 years.  TWENTY YEARS OF READING. Okay, so technically this isn’t true.  I’ve been reading since I was 5.  So (here’s my age)…I’ve been re...
