I finished Children of Blood and Bone
This was a book club read and while it took a while. I really got into it. I have the sequel checked out from the library, but am currently reading A Man Named Ove so I'll read it next

I read The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields, which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1995. It followed the life of Daisy Goodwill Fleet from her birth in 1906 until her death at an unspecified time, (probably in the eighties or nineties). Both of my grandmothers were born in 1900, so it was interesting to imagine how their lives might have been similar to Daisy’s life. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to friends.

I finished Cover Story by Susan Rigetti. I gave it 2.5 stars. Just too unbelievable for me. Then I read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. Always put this off because it seemed like an uncomfortable read about the Holocaust. 5 stars. Boyne is such a masterful writer. Now reading the sequel to this book. I'll be interested to hear your take on the sequel. I know some Jewish organizations have come out against the book as well as the first book. I thought the writing of the first book was very good, but absolutely understand how the content is problematic (it didn't occur to me at the time). |
