January Books

I decided that instead of posting each time I finished a book, I would post every time I have finished four books.  My new goal now is to finish a book a week, so 52 in a year.  I have shared with you two already, so with this post I am at six.  I imagine many people have already read these books, but I’m new to this whole reading for pleasure idea, so be patient with me.  In the order I read them…

The Associate.  I enjoyed this so much more than The Confession.  This book was more what I remember John Grisham’s books being like when I read others years ago.

The Invisible Bridge.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  There is a wonderful love story and many interesting characters you meet and come to love or hate along the way.  It was easy reading, dragged a little at times, but overall an interesting story.  I would highly recommend this book.

Confessions of a Shopaholic.  I can’t say I was really impressed with this book.  It was funny at first, but then I just thought it became ridiculous and found myself hoping it would be over soon.  I’ve never seen the movie, but I hope it is better than the book.

The Kite Runner.  This is an amazing book.  I don’t think it is for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.  It is a heart-wrenching story, which stirred a wide array of emotions and covered many sensitive subjects.  I would highly recommend the book, but would caution some due to the subject matter.

  1. Wahooo Tawni! I would agree with your opinion of the kite runner. Really good but hard to read. I am so impressed! Way to go.
