I know have I neglected this portion of my blog for long enough, so I will attempt a few catchup posts.
I am going back to post a little bit about each book I have read since I last posted.
Chasing Harry Winston - by Lauren Weisberger
Lauren Weisberger wrote The Devil Wears Prada - never read the book, but saw the movie and quite liked it.
Chasing Harry Winston is a great fun read. Good to read in the midst of some other bigger, deeper books.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Cutting for Stone - Abraham Verghese
This is my pick for book club, and i have to be honest, I did not like the book at all until I was 3/4 of the way through.
If I had not picked it, I doubt I would have finished it.
I know why I did not like it - the back cover of the book is totally misleading as to what is going to happen.
It turns out to be a great book, but I was expecting something else so I had a difficult time reading it / enjoying it until I was way into the book.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
The Pilot's Wife - Anita Shreve
This is an old Oprah's book club pick. I have been meaning / wanting to read this book for a long time now.
I read this book while on holidays in 25 hours - it did not take me 25 hours to read it - but I was done 25 hours after I started it. It is a relatively short book (293 pages), okay short for me, and I found it incredibly easy to read.
I also really wanted to know why / how, etc.
It is a good book that grips you right to the end.
