The long weekend was just what the doctor ordered to help me get prepared for this most hellish of weeks. If I manage to finish one book next week, I will consider myself lucky.

FINISHED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE:

This Jennifer McMahon novel was a huge disappointment. There is something about the story that did not click with me. I had the bad guy figured out within the first four chapters, and the rest of it was very choppy storytelling. I can only hope it is a rare miss for her, and that her next novel is at the same level I expect from her books.


CURRENT READ:

My first Backman novel, and I have to say I am impressed with what I have read so far. I like his writing style a lot. I look forward to finishing it!
