Seeing Me Naked by Liza Palmer

Light reading, interesting story because she comes from a famous family and deals with expectations.

Miranda's Big Mistake by Jill Mansell
3.0
I read Miranda’s Big Mistake by Jill Mansell while away the week of 8/13. My friend was loaned it by a friend and offered it up. Light & fluffy about some Londoners whose lives intersect. It was what I wanted at the time, mindless and entertaining Fiction. It is pretty long for a simply ‘chick lit’ type of book, and if you’re not invested in reading it you may get annoyed at the absolute slew of characters you are introduced to and need to remember.
The Witch's Trinity by Erika Mailman
4.0
Around 8/1 I finished The Witch’s Trinity by Erica Mailman for my personal book club. Would I recommend it? Hm. It is based in 1507 Germany and is about witch trials, so it isn’t the happiest book around. But I found myself with questions when I finished, and it was hard to put down about 3/4 the way through, even though I finished it withe one eye closed. The book club meeting about it was really good, we each had different interpretation of certain things, which always is a positive for book clubs!
The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper
4.0
I really liked it! Its about a mid-30′s guy who wrote a “fiction” book about the town he grew up in. His senior year of high school something crazy happened with him and his 2 friends and girlfriend, and he had to leave town….17 years later, he’s a successful authors whose book was made into a successful movie. He has no friends, minimal contact with his family, until he has to go back to that town for a family emergency. I liked the characters, especially totally fallible Joe, was moved by some of the scenes and just liked the story over all. Definitely recommend it.
I do wonder if this author’s other books are as enjoyable. Then again, I have always liked reading from a male’s perspective.
