Welcome, Lisa. Looks like your off to a good start. Happy frivolous reading!
Thanks much! - I sure am enjoying myself.
33) Rainwater by Sandra Browne34) Annie Dunne by Sebastian Barry
What did you think of Little Bee? I read that with a group of ladies for the Interstate 40 group. I thought it was heavy and depressing. Also eye opening.
I agree that it was heavy, but I really thought that the author was an excellent author. Sections of the book were creatively written. I believe he wrote one other book. Do you know anything about this other book?

38) The Interior by Lisa See
39) Still Alice by Lisa Genova40) Here's the Story by Maureen McCormick

It was okay...some interesting parts, but overall, I'd give it a thumbs down. I found it hard to get into the flow of how he wrote.
