I am slightly behind on my 52 in 52 goal but I think I will be able
to make it up with time off for Thanksgiving and the holidays coming
up. In October I finished a high of 5 books.
1)
Nothing Is Impossible by Christopher Reeve - I have had this book for
many years and never got around to reading it. It is a very interesting
look at how his life changed after his accident. I likes that there is a
bit of poor me because let's be honest who would not feel that way
after what he went through but it is overall a very positive message.
And the part about his brief stint with Scientology is hilarious.
2)
Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape by Jenna Miscavige Hill - I do not know why but I find books
about Scientology so fascinating. The author is the niece of the head of
the "church" and she describes growing up in the group. It made me mad
the crap the children who are raised in Scientology are put through. As a
mother I cannot imagine allowing anyone to separate me from my child
for months and sometimes even years at a time.
3)
How To Start A Fire by Lisa Lutz - I am not quite sure how I felt about
this book. I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads because I do feel that it is
well written but I am not sure how I feel about the story. I really
disliked all of the main characters and feel like it ended a little to
nicely.
4) The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom - another book I have
owned forever and never read. It is an interesting concept and a fun
little read.
