I am overdue for a book report (haha-love a good pun...and a bad one...)
First book I read, I looooooooved! OMG, love love love.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. Oh this book was so good. It was powerful and hard to read, but I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters and the way it was written. I am a sucker for any WWII stuff and this whole book just sucked me in. HUGE winner to me! It is not a light, easy read, but woah, it was good.
Second book I read, I was going for a lighter, easier read after the first one. Eligible was just that.
This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it! I have actually picked up a second book by her too and hope to get started on it soon. I really liked the characters and the story line. Y'all know I love be some Bachelor and it was very loosely based on the show. There were several twists that I didn't see coming-- I had a hard time putting this one down.
The last book, I listened too. I have said time and time and time again how much I love Elin Hilderbrand books. Well. Let me just say that I am sooooo glad I didn't read this one first. I probably wouldn't have read another one again.
The Love Season
So it wasn't awful at all-- but I just didn't love it. It tells a story from the past while a story from the present is unfolding. But then, as the story from the past finishes, the book ends...and I felt like a bunch of story lines were just left dangling there. Don't ever read the book while hungry, because there is a LOT of talk about food. A LOT. And that's not bad-- but maybe I am just not a foodie? I don't know. While this is probably my least favorite of Elin Hilderbrand's books, I still wouldn't say it was bad...if that makes sense?
Okay, so that's it! Only three books to report! I know we have a BUSY season upon us...I hope I am still able to steal some time away to read. I have already downloaded a new audio book for the trip to the beach for Thanksgiving and I also have one from the library to take with me.
Have y'all read any of these books? Did you like/dislike? Any suggestions for me??
