We Are Water by Wally Lamb
4.0
My favorite of Lamb's most recents. (I can relate to the vein of art throughout.) I tore through this book like I haven't in a while.
One Summer: America, 1927 by Bill Bryson
3.0
Not terribly exciting things to happen one summer comparatively but Bryson can weave a story. Babe and Lindbergh were interesting personality profiles. I came out with less respect for Lindy and more for Babe.
Delicious! by Ruth Reichl
4.0
I had to give it a four despite it's lack of a couple of things because it really was enticingly written. Heck, I've been baking/cooking for the past several days because of it and I love the setting of New York. 1) for me there is a huge distinction between cooking and baking. The terms are not interchangeable and because one cooks, one does not necessarily bake and vice versa. In cooking, improvisation is allowed to an extant that bakers do not. 2) characters and action is not necessarily believable as well. I can't continue writing this because the mobile site isn't scrolling with the text and I cannot see what I'm writing.
Drunk Tank Pink: And Other Unexpected Forces that Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave by Adam Alter
1.0
Had to stop trying to read this after renewing it the third time. No citations can be bothersome. I had to read 20 pages just to have one interesting sentence. Not worth the time.
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
5.0
I really liked the voice of this author and the questions it made me think while reading. Instantly loved it by feeling alone.
