This or That Reading Challenge discussion

This: A magical realism book
Or
That: A book involving a medical subject

I read “that”: The Other Side of the Bridge

Three generations of doctors figure prominently in the plot, as do specific medical issues.

I have been working on many challenges and just entering them into my Journal. I worked my way through either this or that for every month, I then found myself working through this AND that for every month.

September: This: Night Circus That: Anatomy a Love Story

I really enjoyed Night Circus, and also read and loved Morgenstern's newest The Starless Sea.

Forgot to log my read for this month. For this month's challenge I chose This: A magical realism book, and read The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan. Here as the title infers there are people who try to literally find and return random, mostly trivial lost items (but ones that have some significance to their owners) to the people who originally lost them. The author incorporated magical elements into the finders' abilities to assist this quest. I thought it was a creative concept, pretty well executed - although I found it a bit predictable. 3.5 out of 5.

I tried reading that book years ago and I just couldn't get into it :(
