I used to be a voracious reader, but somehow got out of the habit over the last few years. Since I miss the feel of a good book in my hands, I decided that I’d read 30 books this year. I’m well on my way through this part of the project, but since nobody wants to read 30 book reports at once and I definitely don’t want to write them, I’ll be posting a few blurbs at a time.
The first book I read as a 30-year old was “The Fixer Upper” by Mary Kay Andrews. It was recommended by a friends, and I burned through it in a few days. It wasn’t great, but it would be a good book to read on a plane or at the beach. It’s the story of a woman who moves to the South to fix up an old family house when her life in Washington, DC falls apart. If HGTV was publishing chick lit, this would be exactly what they’d come up with.
I also read Andrews’ “Deep Dish,” which was basically the same characters with different names, having an adventure while trying to win their own cooking show. I actually liked this one a little less than the first one. It’s definitely the Food Network version of the HGTV publishing company.
COMPLETED BOOKS:
1. The Fixer Upper - Mary Kay Andrews
2. Deep Dish - Mary Kay Andrews
I have two books you could have. I ordered them after reading the reviews but they were very hard for me to follow. One is Mating-Norman Rush and other Get a Life-Nadine Gordimer. They are very intellectual and I realized that with my life right now, I need Chelsea Handler books:)
