My book reading has been full of fits and starts this year. I am anxious to get into more of a regular reading routine again. Still, irregular reading is better than no reading and I must say that I've ran across some gems in the past few months.
Recent favorites:
Crazy Rich Asians
by Kevin Kwan: I read this in less than two days. It was funny and very entertaining.
This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage
by Ann Patchett: This is a book of essays on writing and life. I love everything by Ann Patchett, but I think this is my favorite. By the end of it, I knew Ann was a kindred spirit and felt like she was a close friend.
Half Broke Horses
by Jeanette Wall: I finished Half Broke Horses feeling like I could take on the world. This is one inspiring story.
Girl in Hyacinth Blue
by Susan Vreeland: I'm always a fan of historical fictions. When they center around art, all the better.
At the top of my "to read" list is Unbroken
. I've only heard good things. Any other suggestions for me?
