The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht

The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht

This book was just odd to me.  Rarely does a book go unfinished in my "to read" column but halfway through I just could not go on.   The story seems detached and long winded at times without a thread that kept me interested in turning the page.

A Turn in the Road by Debbie Macomber


A Turn in the Road by Debbie Macomber

An enjoyable mutigenerational story about three women who take an impromptu road trip together.  They share their innermost thoughts, solicit each other’s advice on love and most of all cheer and encourage each other to follow their hearts.  

This was my first Debbie Macomber read and I liked it very much.  Endearing characters with an easy plot made this a fun and light poolside read.
