a few reads
over the last month, i started teaching again.... well, the semester started. this means, i get to ride the subway and read. i finished one book that i started this summer, another that i started over labor day, and two that are young adult. here is the recap:
peeled by joan bauer (who goes to our church...how fun is that). a quick read on the subway, but i actually stayed up past my 10 o'clock bedtime to finish. i really enjoyed it. for young adult fiction, i was engaged..... even with the ghost story premise.
hope was here by joan bauer (her newbery honor book). i too finished quickly but enjoyed. i was sad when my stop on the train came and it was time to walk with my nose out of the book.
my life in france by julia child. so i love her. i can't cook french but i really enjoyed her story of falling in love with cooking...and not until she was past 30! she really is a fascinating lady. i even ordered her mastering the art of french cooking because i was just impressed with the journey of its writing and collaboration & the fact that there are more than just recipes... like how to cut up a whole chicken. i loved it! AND the cookbooks looks cool on my shelves.
the year of magical thinking by joan didon. i didn't love. i expected to be gripped ridiculously because i am pregnantly hormonal and thought the story of grieving your husband would put me over the edge. it didn't. i guess i didn't connect with her writing style and was over it rather quick. i almost didn't finish... but that would have been extreme.
