April Book Update

Another month gone..

Secret Daughter - Shilpi Somaya Gowda - I really loved this book. It was the tale of one woman (American)'s fertility and an Indian woman's inability to produce male heirs. It's fairly easy to figure out what happens, but the tale is amazing.

My Horiztonal Life - Chelsea Handler - WHAT WAS I THINKING? I think I heard or read about this book somewhere, but it was just another horrible book about a slutty girl. Waste of time.

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins - Book club book for April. Unbelievably easy to read, but well-written too. I enjoyed it, and am going to start reading the second one soon.

The Wednesday Letters - Jason F. Wright - Found The Wedding Letters, realized it was a sequal and decided to find the first one. This is the story of a family whose parents both died at the same time! in bed, and how the husband wrote letters to the wife every Wednesday. Lots of family secrets learned.. blah blah blah. Not super thrilling, but whatever.

A Boy of Good Breeding - Miriam Toews - Ah, Miriam Toews. She's such a bizarre author! The main character's daughter in this book was named "Summer Feelin'" .... Yep. It was really well-written though. I'd recommend it, along with the rest of hers.

The Wedding Letters - Jason F. Wright - Second to the book above. Still not that exciting.

The Uncoupling - Meg Wolitzer - This was a book about a high school drama teacher that decided to put on a Greek play where women decided to abstain from sex to end a war.. (It was called Lysistrata). All of the women are suddenly repelled by their men... It was really good, and I would recommend it!

Prodigal Summer - Barbara Kingsolver - I love Barbara Kingsolver. This book was the tale of three different people - one woman living in a forest alone, one woman living on a farm and dealing with some tragic events and one old man living with a neighbour who he kind of hates. It's entertaining and I enjoyed it too.

Overall, a good month of reading.
