February Reading List

Anyway, without farther ado...

H5N1 lot tin locomote on inwards 10 years as well as straightaway it's nigh trying to larn dorsum what she has forgotten as well as whether it's possible to start over.
Why I liked it: Because it showed a truthful await into how relationships modify over time. Life gets difficult as well as things locomote on that alter relationships. It besides made me outcry inwards the halt (can't tell you lot inwards a adept or bad way) because of how it turned out for her. I besides liked it because it truly left you lot inwards the black for hence long. You could experience the confusion as well as anger as well as emotion that Alice was feeling because you lot had no thought who was who or what happened over the past times 10 years. You were finding out alongside her! I truly loved this book.
Would I recommend it: Yes!

Liz finds things are inwards abattoir as well as takes it upon herself to help the employment solid unit of measurement out. Jane happens to autumn inwards dear alongside a new-in-town doc who was besides on the most recent flavor of Eligible (the story's version of the Bachelor) but goose egg goes every bit planned for Liz, Jane or their family.
Why I liked it: I've never truly read Pride as well as Prejudice hence this was a totally novel even for me, but I LOVED it. And I really didn't think I was going to. I loved the dear even of Mr. Darcy as well as my pump was truly total when reading this book. Also (this is hence strange) but the chapters were only a dyad pages long hence I works life I couldn't always pose the mass down. I'd think, "Oh, but 1 to a greater extent than chapter." Then I'd larn at that topographic point as well as say, "Well, this is only 1 page more." Then I'd continue reading until it was 5 inwards the morning! haha
Would I recommend it: Yes!

Cecilia has stumbled upon the deepest, darkest hole-and-corner of her husband's life. Little does she know this hole-and-corner is nigh to impact her life as well as those around her for good.
Why I liked it: I totally didn't realize it earlier reading but the mass is truly told shape 3 unlike perspectives. Each has their ain combat as well as even that are saltation to each other without them knowing. There are lots of twists as well as turns that volition continue you lot guessing -- as well as gasping -- until the rattling concluding page! I couldn't pose it down.
Would I recommend it: Yes

All nosotros know is the black it happened as well as that someone is dead. But who? How?
Why I liked it: I truly wasn't going to read it because I wanted to instead lookout the HBO demo but my friend made me practice it. I'm glad she did! It was 1 of Liane's best books to engagement as well as SO much amend than the demo (if you're interested). I dear a adept housewife-drama-filled-who-done-it mass that keeps you lot on your toes. I hateful it's non fifty-fifty until the concluding dyad of chapters that you lot realize who fifty-fifty died!

The even is very loosely based on the life of Laura Bush as well as follows her throughout her life, hardships as well as all.
Why I liked it: I dear the Bush employment solid unit of measurement as well as I conduct hold an extra exceptional dear for Laura Bush. While I know this mass is loosely based on her life, it was fun for me to imagine this is how she truly is behind unopen doors since she rarely always opens upwardly nigh her personal life. It left me wanting to a greater extent than (even subsequently 500 pages)! I picked this upwardly subsequently reading Eligible as well as it's prophylactic to tell I truly dear Sittenfeld's work!
Would I recommend it: Yes!

Summary: It's a even of 3 regular girls inwards NYC who accept a drug (/potion) that makes them pretty -- supermodel pretty. It follows the girls through their fourth dimension existence "pretty" as well as the highs (and serious) lows that come upwardly alongside their novel looks. Sometimes it opens a lot of doors as well as sometimes it's non all it's cracked upwardly to be.
Why it was but OK: It was a truly slow as well as low-cal read. I finished it 1 black subsequently work. It's a mass that tin but fill upwardly the time. It's an interesting concept as well as leaves you lot wondering how you'd human activeness inwards their situation. But the characters weren't rattling likable as well as the mass sort of but ended...
Would I recommend it: Maybe

It's sort of similar Sweetbitter (from above) inwards the sense that it was but sort of nigh life as well as what nosotros become through.
Would I recommend it: Sure
