Book 159

Day 742
Rachel Bertsche "MWF seeking BFF"

First, what does the M stand for?

I remember seeing this in People and wanting to read it... tomorrow I go to NY overnight to see family. I always miss my guy when I go away but I'm looking forward to the weekend. Especially because I get to read for hours in a row on the train!

Book 158 Done

Day 741
Jean Reynolds Page "Accidental Happiness"

This turned out to be a great story. It started with a very interesting first page and got better from there. A little slow at times but for the most part it was a good book.

Book 158

Day 732
Jean Reynolds Page "Accidental Happiness"

Another book that I cannot remember the plot... I took this out from the library website on my Kindle. That probably means the cover caught my attention. I've never heard of this author so we'll see how she writes.

Book 157 Done

Day 732
Kaui Hart Hemmings "The Descendants"

This turned out to be a really good book. I wasn't sure what I thought in the first 100 pages or so but it really picked up from there. It was hard not to picture George Clooney the whole time though. There were a few laugh out loud lines which is always nice in a book.

Book 157

Day 729
Kaui Hart Hemmings "The Descendants"

You all know the George Clooney movie. I haven't seen it because I don't do the movie before book thing. In fact, I mostly hate the movie made from a book genre.

I don't actually remember what the story is but I know I was mildly interested in it so I'd rather read the book.

Tomorrow is 2 years... 155 books completely read.

Book 156 Done

Day 728
Elin Hilderbrand "Summerland"

This was another engrossing story by this author. She really brings you into the story right from the very beginning. The island was so much apart of this story that I had to contact my sister to ask where we used to stay. The roads and places they go in the story sounded so familiar to me. I really enjoyed reading this book...

Book 156

Day 722
Elin Hilderbrand "Summerland"

Wow I just realized in 8 days I will have been doing this reading project for 2 years. So much in my life has changed.

I love Elin Hilderbrand's books. They all take place on Nantucket. As a child I was fortunate enough to have an uncle who took us there a few summers. We made magical memories as a family. So magical that I'm not sure I will ever go back there. I don't want anything to ruin the images in my head.
Elin does a great job of weaving a great tale while always incorporating the island as a part of the story.
