Challenge: 50 Books discussion

(1.) (Save Me) by Lisa Scottoline
Listened to as audiobook. Pretty unbelievable, but isn't that what reading is all about? Had a definite Paretsky flavor.

(2.) (Before Women Had Wings) by Connie May Fowler
Read for book club (finished a bit late). Interesting story...reminded me of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls to a certain extent. Found myself wanting desperately to know what happened after the book ended.

(3.) (The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down) by Andrew Young
Listened to as audiobook. Juicy and riveting. Completely shocking. Glad that Edwards is not our President!

(4.) (Cutting for Stone) by Abraham Verghese
Read for book club. Loved, loved, loved this one! I highly recommended it!

(5.) (Little Bee) by Chris Cleave
I am determined not to get behind on book club selections this year, so I have already read the book for March. For all of the hype on the book cover and the pleas not to spoil the shocking events, this was rather disappointing. One of the protagonists is thoroughly unlikable.

(6.) (The Other Boleyn Girl) by Philippa Gregory
One of my other resolutions is to read book club selections that I skipped or didn't finish over the years. This is one that the book club read in the month the girls arrived. It was very readable, but not particularly great literature.
