Wednesday Book Round-up: What’s on My Nightstand — “My Not So Perfect Life,” by Sophie Kinsella; “All My Puny Sorrows,” by Miriam Toews; “The Robber Bride,” by Margaret Atwood; and “Pine Island Paradox,” by Kathleen Dean Moore
Well, there’s this one. Because I really like Sophie Kinsella.
“My Not So Perfect Life” This book is beautiful, it’s really one of Kinsella’s best. Our heroine, Katie Brenner, truly has the Boss from Hell, one Demeter Farlowe. Is she for real? Meanwhile, her dad and stepmom, always pursuing ways to save the family farm, consider open up their property for glamping. Yurts, homemade jam, tours and campfires. It’s just crazy enough that it might work. Great characters, lively writing, and a plot that holds the reader’s attention from start to finish.
“All My Puny Sorrows” Miriam Toews is a pretty great writer.
Atwood, always. “The Robber Bride.” Excellent beginning, hits the ground running. But she always does.
And… looking forward to starting this one:
“The Pine Island Paradox: Making Connections in a Disconnected World (The World As Home)” by Kathleen Dean Moore
I’ve heard it’s good.
Bon appetit, babies!
