Finished Boston Adventure - very wordy but I loved it. I didn't feel like an observer, I felt like I was there.

Vivienne Strauss is starting Safe from the Sea

A really moving family story but coming from a dysfunctional family that had no reconciliations or finally shared secrets I found the ending a little too neat. Still a very enjoyable read.

Vivienne Strauss is on page 222 of 645 of The Bee Sting

Well, I'm 222 pages in, while it is entertaining, I'm wondering, "Do I like ANY of these characters? Do I CARE what happens to any of them?"

Vivienne Strauss is on page 97 of 288 of Strong Female Character

This book is making me so uncomfortable and sad, I don't know if I should continue. (not the author's fault - just too much self identifying...)

Probably one of the few people who has never seen the movie version of True Grit- just wow - what a story!!

"Norwood" was good, other than the racism... just started True Grit which of course I've heard of, had no idea it was written by Portis.

catching myself skimming already, never a good sign - not sure if I'll finish - the more books I quit early, the easier it gets

Vivienne Strauss is finished with Normal: Book 1 (Normal, #1)

wonderfully weird, frightening and relevant - I read this in a single sitting, couldn't bring myself to put it down

Vivienne Strauss is finished with Beasts of a Little Land

Who could resist this cover? Historical fiction is not a usual genre for me but this one really drew me in from the first page. Also a great education for the history between Korea/Japan/Russia/and the US.

Vivienne Strauss is starting The Atlas of Reds and Blues

I have just barely started listening to this and my blood is already boiling with hatred towards the ignorant, racist pigs in the third world country called America.

Vivienne Strauss is finished with The Body's Question

I don't typically listen to poetry books but I'm not sleeping again and have listened to this book four times now and will continue to repeat it until I'm ready to move on.
