Well it has been confirmed - I will fall short of my goal to
read 52 books in 52 weeks again this year. I am trying not to be upset by it.
This has been a rough year for so many, myself included, and I am learning that
I cannot beat myself up for doing whatever I needed to do to get through.
Sometimes I did not feel like reading and that is ok. That being said in
November I did complete the following:
1) The Lake of Dreams by Kim Edwards – this is the story of a
young woman who returns to her small home town in New York after living abroad
for several years. She stumbles across a family mystery and works to solve the
puzzle. This book was not that enjoyable for me. I found the main character to
be whiny and unlikable. The mystery was not that interesting and I figured it
out pretty quickly.
2) The Irish Cottage Murder: A Torrey Tunet Mystery by Dicey
Deere – the first in the series following the adventures of interpreter Torrey
Tunet. This book was a bit much. The murder victim was a horrible person and
there is some very difficult material in the book. I will try reading the
second book in the series to see if I want to continue reading them but based
upon this first one my gut instinct is no.
