Very quick thoughts on two very different books:
A disturbing subject and a beautiful story all wrapped up in one short novel. The subject matter is far from easy and that's what I loved about it. There are things that have to be faced. This part of our history is one of them.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is this delightful read. Funny, warm, and easy to relate to. I couldn't put this one down and it made me laugh. A LOT.
These are both exceptional books that I wholeheartedly recommend. Have you read either of these books? What did you think?

I LOVED Wife 22. It was so funny and heartwarming.
ReplyDeleteI need to look up the other one as I haven't heard of it, but I'm intrigued.
Wasn't it a riot? I was a giggling fool all throughout that book. ;)
DeleteYay, you enjoyed Property too! :D
ReplyDeleteI did, I did! What an intense read..whew!
DeleteI remember hearing about Wife 22, but I don't remember what it's about... I will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome weekend. :)
It's hilarious, laugh out loud funny for reals :) Thanks Lindsey, same to you!
DeleteI have not one but two copies of Property sitting on my TBR...and they were both passed on to me rather than me seeking them out myself! Something about it just doesn't excite me but I'm sure I'll read it sooner or later.

It sounds to me like the universe is trying to tell you something Marie ;)
DeleteI just checked out the synopsis of Property on IndieBound's website, and I can see why it would be such a tough book to review. It seems to be something that is good to read because it's something we need to talk about and make sure it isn't forgotten, but would be a hard book to actually read.
ReplyDeleteYes! Beautiful but disturbing. I'm very glad I read it
DeleteI've been thinking about Wife 22. Glad to hear it is worth it. And I like disturbing so I'll have to give the other one a go too!
ReplyDeleteWife 22 was such a delight to read. Funny, smart, etc! I hope you do get to both of these great books :)
