More January books

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate
by Jacqueline Kelly

First off, listen to part of the author's bio:
She is a practicing physician and lawyer.
What?! How can you be both? And now a successful author, too? Some people.

Okay, that aside, this book was so great. I loved it. It's told by  the young Calpurnia Tate who writes, "My name is Calpurnia Virginia Tate, but back then everybody called me Callie Vee. That summer, I was eleven years old and the only girl out of seven children. Can you imagine a worse situation?"

Go read it. Mom, I bet this would be a great audio book.

Three Wishes
by Liane Moriarty

I picked this one up because I really liked another of Moriarty's books called "What Alice Forgot," and I would totally recommend that one. This one, on the other hand, was LAME. Too much swearing, too much sex, not funny, characters were lame, blah blah blah. To be honest, I skimmed a lot of it because it was not great but I still wanted to know what happened. I would NOT recommend this one.

What are you guys reading? If you want to read together, here's what I currently have on my night table:
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (for bookclub)
A Girl Name Zippy by Haven Kimmel (been wanting to read this for awhile)
The Dinner Diaries: Raising Whole Wheat Kids in a White Bread World by Betsy Block (I have no idea what to call this particular type of genre of nonfiction--Journalistic nonfiction? I imagine it will probably read sort of like the Happiness Project.

Happy reading!
