Books I've read: August

The Art of Fielding - Chad Harbach I liked it, but it went really slow.

The Body in the Boudour - Katherine Hall Page audiobook while I drove 3 hours across the state and back for a work obligation. This is the way to experience Page, I think. Or the book was better than some of her others.

Lunch in Paris - Elizabeth Bard cute, but a little trite. Good reading for the airplane.

Backseat Saints - Joshilyn Jackson it probably says something about a book when you honestly can't remember it AT ALL.

Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter - Tom Franklin Read for book club, enjoyed immensely.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Michelle Hodkin I felt very Meh about the whole book, and then the end sucked me in and now I'm going to have to read the sequel. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Shadow of Night - Deborah Harkness It was much more complicated than the first, and the storyline made more sense, but I liked it less.

Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern Very slow beginning, very enjoyable middle, scared I wouldn't like the end (I did), and then about a chapter of narcissistic exposition at the end annoyed me.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone - Laini Taylor Loved it, can't wait for the next. Kind of annoyed that I have to wait for it.

Dry Bones - Peter May this was an audiobook, and I got to listen to all the accents - Scottish, French ... it was delightful. Oh, I really enjoyed the story too, although in an audiobook it's harder to ignore overused expressions like "she turned to him with shining eyes"
