I've got the following in progress right now: Divergent, which is not really like the Hunger Games, but I'm trying to get through it Let's Pretend This Never Happened Sookie Stackhouse series, which is ridiculous, but I need my True Blood fix until the next season comes out on DVD
How is it? I'm so excited! This is my husband's cousin!
Really? That'so cool. I like her work a lot. Did you read Sweet Ruin?
God this is shameful, but no. We have a signed copy, though We're going to her book signing in August for Gone. It's nice that she always does readings around here since they live in the Berkshires.
Cathi is the oldest of the Hanauer cousins and all 4 of them were older than my husband's oldest sister. So there's an age gap, but she's really nice.
I guess her first book was kind of about the family so it just seemed sort of prying to read about it. I know that's ridiculous, but knowing the people she was talking about just makes it uncomfortable for me. My husband likes her husband's books, though.
I just read the Magicians. Very disappointed. Enjoyed reading but at the end I kind of regretted it. Before that the Litigators by Grisham. Good and fun. Need a new book - gotta go to the library website.
I'm reading "The 19th Wife" - loving it!!! It's super interesting, it's about polygamy. Half fiction, half non-fiction, it covers the story of Ann Eliza Young, Brigham Young's 19th wife and how she divorced him and changed polygamy and the mormon church's stance on it forever. Book club read.
I know you didn't ask me, but... it is the second to most recent book that I read, and I didn't love it. In the second half, way too much was about the family (rather than Henrietta) I thought, and I kind of thought that the author ran too much with the crazy and uneducated thing. Even if they kind of were, it didn't seem right or necessary to cast them in that light.
