Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I read a review of this on a book list somewhere, found it used on Amazon, and ordered it to read on the flights to and from our Florida cruise. It was a good book for that, fairly light, and fairly intriguing as different outcomes to choices are explored in the story. Kind of a choose your own adventure kind of book. The characters were fairly interesting...but not enough to make me want to lend it out or read it again.

Sometimes I think I'm in the mood for something light, but when I choose with this in mind, I'm often disappointed. I guess I really do like some substance or at least a good laugh or some redeeming and uplifting value. Not here. Not this time.

Frances and Bernard by Carlene Bauer

This was an intriguing and heart-wrenching book. Beautifully written with deep and interesting characters. I also enjoyed the religious discussions that were challenging for me to understand. Great writing and great humor. I think I'll read it again so I can comment more fully. I must also remember to lend it to Kathy Kovarik. I think she would appreciate it.
