It's been just over 5 weeks since my last post. (And as I'm typing that, I feel like I should be kneeling in a confessional booth...) Summer is my 2nd favorite time of year and I've been doing lots of reading, especially this past week while I've been on vacation. However, less time inside means less time on the computer, so I let the blog slide a bit. So...here are new reviews for the weeks I've missed.
Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him: I liked this book - inside look at the world of art galleries. Not a 5-star book for me, but a decent read.
"Shakespeare's Landlord" by Charlaine Harris - picked this up because I loved the Sookie ones so much. The main character in this series is Lily Bard...it was ok, but didn't suck me in the way the vampire ones do. Probably won't read the rest of this series.
"The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters" by Elisabeth Robinson: I love, love, LOVED, this one. Another book told entirely in letters, with a few emails sprinkled in. The letter writer is Olivia Hunt, a Hollywood producer who is trying to get Don Quixote produced. The relationship between Olivia and her younger sister Madeline is an interesting one...anyone who has a sister should enjoy it. May require a hanky!
"Schooled" by Anisha Lakhani: Another good one...this is about an idealistic young teacher who goes to work at a high-priced prep school in Manhattan...its an inside look at the private school world - and parents who will do anything to ensure their child's "success"...aka placement at an Ivy League school, of course.
This week I'm reading Baker Towers by Jennifer Haigh. Almost finished...should be posting about it in the next day or two...
