Unfortunately the two most recent books that I read were not that good, which is partially why it has taken me so long to get through them. :(
25 Books in 2010:
1. The Gastronomy of Marriage by Michelle Maisto {click here for my review}
2. Shelter Me by Juliette Fay {click here for my review}
3. Dear John by Nicholas Sparks {click here for my review}
4. Dead as a Doornail {Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood, Book 5} by Charlaine Harris
5. The Mercy of Thin Air by Romlyn Domingue
This book was one of my least favorite that I've read in a while. I don't even know why I finished reading it, but I've always had issues giving up on books. It was just boring and weird. It's about people who die and are ghosts, essentially, but without all the scary aspects of it. They just wander around and watch other people's lives happen. I do not recommend it. 1 Star
6. The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond
This book was at least better than the last one, but still not that great. It's about a woman who "loses" her fiance's daughter on a beach. No one knows what happened to the little girl so it's about the woman agonizing over the fact that she lost her and trying to remember the details of the day that she went missing. It wasn't poorly written, just extremely slow and repetitive at times. I need more excitement in my books! 2 stars
Not sure if you have all of your books for the year planned or if you're looking for suggestions, but I recommend The Help and The American Wife. Both are a little on the long side, but they're page turners! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the recs, Katie! I actually already have The Help on my list b/c I've heard great things about it but I did not know about The American Wife. It's being added for sure!
