I am definitely going to have to see THAT!
I have some catching up to do!95. The Underneath, by Kathi Appelt, 1/5 stars. This was a Newberry award winner or honoree . . . frankly, I was not impressed.
96. The Chance, by Karen Kingsbury, 4/5 stars
97. Sent: Delivering the Gift of Hope at Christmas, by Jorge Acevedo, 4/5 stars
98. The Bridge, by Karen Kingsbury, 2/5 stars
I got up early today to finish reading two books that I was nearly done with . . . just so I could make 100 for the year!99. Getting Past What You'll Never Get Over: Help for Dealing with Life's Hurts, by John F. Westfall, 4/5 stars
I picked this book up about a year ago when I realized I was still struggling with some issues pertaining to my marriage then ended in 2012. I've since overcome the pain and anger and have found peace. But reading this book now has helped me see how the situation shaped me, why I struggled, and how I cope (or struggle to cope) with the negative things that happen in my life. So, I found the book rather insightful.
100. MOONEY The Life of the World's Master Carver, by John P. Hayes, 4/5 stars.
I have visited the Warther Museum in Dover, Ohio about a half-dozen times. I found the story of Mooney Warther, a small-but-loud Swiss man intriguing and I learned something new on each visit. I finally bought his biography, which is available at the museum a year or so ago. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which I found to be well-researched and more well-written than I expected for a book that is probably mostly of "local" interest. The man was a genius. For anyone who is interested, check out http://www.warthers.com/Ernest_Warthe... and you'll see why the man's wood carvings were so amazing.
