The quarter is over as of today so it is time for another book update. I feel like my reading mojo has really amped up lately. I have been getting a good 25-30 minutes of reading time in every day at lunch which is helping for sure. For this quarter I finished the following 3 books:
1) The Legacy by Kristen Tranter: this was a book I was not
expecting to enjoy but I really did. It is the story of 3 college friends in
Australia and the crazy paths their lives take. When one of them dies on 9/11
the other two set out to determine what happened. While I figured out what
happened pretty quickly into the "mystery" it was still an intriguing
read.
2) Case Histories by Kate Atkinson: the interweaving of 3
separate cases being investigated by a private detective. While I usually do
not like books that jump from story to story this one was very well done and it
did not seem contrived like it usually can. There are 4 more books in the
series and I am looking forward to reading those as well.
3) Best of Friends by Cathy Kelly: the story of 4 friends in
a small Irish town and how their lives change when one of them is diagnosed
with advanced breast cancer and ends up passing away. In the sign of a good
story I really liked the characters but wanted to smack them at the same time.
They felt very real and flawed which is a nice change from most chick lit I
have read.
