The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini
4.0
I really enjoyed this book and found it enduring. I am a beginner quilter as well and always seem to find myself in circles with ladies more experienced and wiser. I was able to relate to Sarah, as well as Mrs. Compson and their stories. I'm glad that this is a series so that I can get to know the characters more because I didn't want the story to end.
Normal People by Sally Rooney
3.0
I just finished the book last night and am still on the fence on whether I liked it or not. I think that's because it is a YA book and written from a young adult perspective. There was good character development and there was depth. If I put myself back in high school and college I could totally relate to Connell, as well as Marianne. I was a big fan of Connell's mom, Lorraine. I wish there would have been more dialog, or even just more information, about Marianne's family. There was enough for me to despise them and the way they treated Marianne but I still would have liked more from them. I certainly hope there is a sequel...
Mosquitoland by David Arnold

I really loved this book. Mim is a wonderful character that I can relate to on so many levels, even though I'm in my 50's. The writing is light, deep, profound, funny, sad, etc... it's ALL the feels.
My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout

I was really excited to read this book after reading the synopsis but that all changed after I started it. I kept hoping that it was going to get better but it really didn't. I wish that I had stopped when I wanted to and saved that time to read something else.
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier

I'm not usually a historical fiction reader but this intrigued me because I love art. I was pleasantly surprised by the story and am so glad that I read it.
