In a previous post, I told you all that because of the book club I am in, I am reading books that I wouldn't have normally picked or been drawn to. It's out of my comfort zone and it's a good experience. Thanks to my new book friends, here are a couple of books that I have read that I would have missed out on otherwise.
I give One True Thing 3 solid stars. This book made me cry and deal with a topic that I don't normally care to read about...cancer. Books on this topic generally make me uncomfortable and I struggle with my own emotions and feelings as I read. I thought Anna Quindlen did a great job of making the reader have an emotional connection to the characters and the overall story.
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. This book was released in 2008 and I would not have ever read it had it not been picked for our book club. I loved how the story weaved through several generations. I also loved how the majority of it took place in England. This book was a little longer than many of the books I have recently read and it took a little bit for me to really get into the story but once I did, I was hooked. I think I will definitely visit more of Morton's books.
