Finished "Home Safe: A novel"

I finished the book "home safe a novel" last night and am glad it is FINALLY over.  When I'd rather weed the garden or watch football, that tells you how much the book held my attention.  Story was slow going.  Love the story line idea, just wasn't anything to keep my interest. 

Finished "House and Home"

This weekend I read "House and Home" by Kathleen McCleary.  When I started the book I was thrilled that the author used Portland, OR as the location of the story and was very accurate in referring to many of the places we frequent.  Loved the first couple of chapters and enjoyed the ending.  The middle was a bunch of divorce drama that I found rather boring.  Guess I couldn't relate to it at all, so it didn't hold my interest.

In honor of all lives changed 8 years ago today.....

The year that follows

This evening I finished the book "The Year That Follows" by Scott Lasser.  It is a story about a man in his 80s and how his life is spent after the 9/11 attacks.  Very good, easy read (took me a day and a half), about the circle of life.

Hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet

 

I finished reading "The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford this morning and I have to say it is one of the best books I've ever read.  The story takes place in the 1940s in Seattle during the Japanese internment.  When I read the description of the book on the cover, I didn't think I'd enjoy the book, much, however I learned quickly the cover description doesn't do the book any justice.  I don't want to give away anything in the book, but will just say it is a great story of the times, and a wonderful love story as well!
