I'm linking up with
Modern Mrs. Darcy to share my monthly wrap up. Here are the books I read in May.
This was an interesting book about the real life of the younger sister of Louisa May Alcott. I confess I got a little board towards the end. It had a lot of information about art and artists of the time. You might like it if you enjoyed Little Women or enjoy historical fiction about real people.
This was a real page turner, and it dealt with a lot of current issues really well. I have enjoyed all of the books I've read by Katie Ganshert and highly recommend her as an author.
Such a good thriller about a woman whose daughter has been missing for several years. She finally meets someone and tries to move on with her life only to discover her new boyfriend has a little girl that looks a lot like her missing daughter. Weird! It's a little predictable and a little contrived, but a lot of fun.
This was another thriller/mystery that I enjoyed this month. Jane Harper sure can write a good mystery. I thought these characters were really well developed. I wasn't able to figure out who did it. They all seemed guilty. This works well as a stand alone, but I would suggest starting with the first book in the series, The Dry.
This one was a little too romancy for me. I was also hoping for more time spent in the city of refuge, but most of this was a travel story. Still, if you enjoy Biblical era fiction, you will enjoy this book.
This is one of those books that's hard to read and harder to review. I don't know if I liked it, but it was really well written and gave me a lot to think about. If you are sensitive to language or infidelity you will probably want to steer clear. Overall though, I found it to be worth the read.
This was my least favorite book of the month. It started out ok and kind of amusing. Then I got really board with it. At about 75% I skipped to the end.
This was my non-fiction for the month. It was so good. I have loved everything Jen Wilkin has written and I can't recommend her enough.
Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments.
