Books read April and May

Yes, this is super late!!

Here are the titles I read, sorted by my ratings:

5 star:

Still Alice - I was hesitating reading this since the topic of Alzheimer's disease scares me (runs in my family) but it is written so well it was very much worth the read.


4 star:

 Magic Hour - Kristin Hannah - Really enjoyable

 Sh*t My Dad Says - Justin Halpern - I think I enjoyed this because it sounded SO much like an Uncle of mine!

 Around the World in 92 Minutes - Chris Hadfield - Amazing pictures from space!

 Still Missing - Chevy Stevens - Pretty scary storyline, probably best not to read it if you are a realtor

 Constellation of Vital Phenomenon - Anthony Marra - Wow!  Hard to believe this was the first novel by a 20-something author

Three Amazing Things About You - Jill Mansell - Very enjoyable Chick Lit

 Cancel the wedding - Dingman - Another fun, chick lit

3 Star:

 Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is definitely a peculiar book

 You had Me At Hello - McFarlane

 Big Over Easy - Fforde - Twisted Nursery Rhyme

 I Love You More - Jennifer Murphy - a fun read

It's Just Mary - no cover photo - Marilyn Wright  - this is a homesteading book my Mom really wanted me to read.

 Secret of Happy Ever After - Lucy Dillon - fun, quick read

 Somebody to Love - Higgins Not much meat to the story but still fun

 The Longest Ride - Sparks - Looking forward to watching this movie.  I think this is one of those books that I had troubles deciding how to rate.  It's probably more of a 3.5

  Home for the Haunting - Juliet Blackwell - I like a good ghost story now and again

 Old Man and the Sea - Hemingway - I thought it was time to read a classic.  Great imagery but not a lot to the story



 Bossy Pants - Tina Fey - Enjoyed some of it quite a bit, other parts not so much

2 Star:


  Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death ......   Just not really up my alley

 We have always lived in the Castle - Shirley Jackson - again, just not my cup of tea

 The BeeKeeper's Ball - Susan Wiggs - This just disappointed me after the first in the series.  I think there was potential but it fell very short.

 Hero At Large - Evanovich - Let's just say she's obviously improved as an author

 Too Much Happiness - Alice Munro - Again, just not up my alley

 Weird things Customers Say in Bookstores - Jen Campbell - I think I prefer books with more of a storyline
