I've been away from blogging for a while while I was busy with my online holiday shopping (for more books, of course. I was heavy into Books on CD this season.) I'm back with a bunch of mini-reviews, because when it comes to reading anything-shorter is always better.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. I checked out this book from our local library's audiobook lending service and I recommend the audiobook-more entertaining and less dry than book form. The only thing is it's 32 chapters long, so you'll need to devote a checkout and re-checkout to get it finished. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Best characters: Boris and Hobie. Only minus: The last half chapter which sinks into a philosiphical soup.My cheap little MP3 player cut out after 30 minutes and for once I was thankful. I said, "The End." just as it should've been said after the boy returns to Hobie at the apartment.
12-31-2016. I finished an old 1960's copy of a book called Uncle Tom's Children by Richard Wright. I liked these short stories, even though they're pretty depressing and tragic. Please, seek out a copy of this book if you can find it, it's a good companion to Uncle Tom's Cabin. I'd get political, but this blog is just for fun.
12-22-2016. I finished a book from, I believe, the 1990's called The Murder She Wrote Mysteries: The Highland Fling Murders. OMG. Murder She Wrote is one of those 80's icons like Golden Girls that should never be allowed to be forgotten! I loved this mystery series, and I loved this book. Jessica and the Cabot Cove gang in Scotland for a murder mystery?? It's like grandma's apple sauce cake warm from the oven. PLEASE book publishers revive this mystery book line!! Little old ladies and little old ladies at heart thoroughly enjoy this elderly Nancy Drew! Charm, charm, charm!
