A friend reminded me recently that I had not mentioned reading any books this summer. For some reason, last year I was able to use my Amazon account and post my experience easily thru Facebook. For some reason, it does not work like that this year. So, anyway, here are my books so far:
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein -- my favorite by far! Jane you have to read this!
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult -- Good but disturbing
Defending Jacob by William Landay -- Good; easy read
The Paris Wife by Paula McLain -- Interesting
Mao's Last Dancer by Li Cunxin -- Didn't care for this; simplistic writing; maybe it was translated poorly
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton -- Very Good
Wild by Cheryl Strayed -- Very, Very Good
The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe -- Fair; I'm not into mysticism
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson -- Pretty clear portrait of a complex man
Chill Factor by Sandra Brown -- Good beach read
She also mentioned I had not written about scores for our games. They are:
Gin Rummy: Ed 10 Nancy 5
Scrabble Ed 2 Nancy 0
Now you know why I haven't mentioned them! Doesn't look like this is my trophy summer, does it?
