Russell Brand "My Booky Wook"
350 pages
Got to page 57 and realized I couldn't read this book anymore. I have a lot of trouble reading books written by English people because I need to be able to hear the book in my head and the accent and their wording just doesn't fit for me. And his childhood stories weren't interesting. Sorry Russell...

Marilyn Bryant "Friday Mornings At Nine"

It was good... a bit slow at times. Three women friends, all at similar crossroads in their marriages, figuring out what they want out of life. Sounds like a good premise. Take away 50 pages of fluff and you have a decent story.

I really did not care for this book. I just didn't understand the point of telling the story. There were three main characters and the story moved in between them but I never felt the connection made any sense. And at the end of the book I REALLY didn't understand the point.

Jill Smolinski "The Next Thing On My List"
288 pages
Wow... I loved this book! She sucked me in right from the first page. So nice that a fictional story can make you want to look inside yourself. I don't have a bucket list. But in this story as she attempts to fill someone else's list she can't help but turn her thoughts inward. A few plot points were a bit predictable but sometimes its nice not to have to think so hard about where the book is taking you. It was a great read. I'll keep this author on my short list.

I wasn't super pleased with this book. The characters were interesting but it seemed like the author chose to capture a bunch of boring days in their lives. And sometimes, in my opinion, books that are written by English authors usually have a slower pace which I don't love. She missed the mark with this one.

Wow... this is actually a little hard to read. It's so well written I'm finding myself right back in 2001. The setup of the book in the first few chapters is interesting. Then when they go to bed Monday night I was expecting to turn the page to 9/11. Instead it turned to 9/12... and why not? We all know what happened that day. No need to go through it again. Great book....

I believe the storyline of this book is centered around 9/11. My father is a Port Authority Sergeant in New York. He lost too many people close to him that day and spent 10 months dedicating his life to the recovery efforts there. I read Jonathan Safran Foer's "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" when it came out and thought it was very good. This is my second book having to do with 9/11... I hope the author does it justice.
