Hello Happy Readers! This change in season just makes me want to curl up on my couch and read, read, read.
I ran into Unexpectedly, Milo by Matthew Dicks in a recommendation from a Daily Candy email. It's a quirky plot line, a quirky main character, but somehow it worked for me. Milo's struggle with OCD and his dissolving marriage are an interesting contrast to his quest to find a missing woman and heal a stranger's pain. I would recommend this book.
My college girlfriends have book club once a month. In September, I was fortunate to have them visit me in Chicago. They brought with them The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. This was a wonderful book! It spans generations of a family across England and Australia and the familial plot line told through the women in the family is amazing. I've read another novel by Kate Morton, but this one is my preferred choice. I highly recommend this book!
Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok was another recommendation from Daily Candy and it is a story of an immigrant girl coming to America with her mother. Kim lives in horrendous conditions, works with her mother in illegal conditions but finds her saving grace in excelling in school. When her relationship with her first love surprises her, she makes the toughest decision of her life. I would recommend this book.
Happy Reading everyone!
