The Postmistress

by Sarah Blake

“This was missing something. The stories were not very cohesive, and I didn't find myself caring about the characters.”

The Bro Code

“I listened to the audio. Neil Patrick Harris is hilarious. This was a good novelty book. You'll only like it if you watch How I Met Your Mother.”

The Forever War

by Joe Haldeman
- Rated 3 stars
“This is not my typical fare, but I enjoyed the social commentary on the Vietnam War. I was bored to tears throughout the military parts though. It will be a good book club book with a lot to discuss.”

Graceling

by Kristin Cashore
- Rated 3 stars
“Listened to the full cast audio recording, and it was a bit cheesy. The story was good but not great. Enjoyable listening while running and knitting.”

Ficciones

by Jorge Luis Borges
- Rated 3 stars
“I read this for book club, which meant that I had to read all the stories in one go. This book is better read one story at a time to give yourself time to absorb his intentions. Some of the stories are amazing, like "The Garden of Forking Paths," and some I didn't enjoy at all so I guess that averages out to 3 stars.”
