Twitterature: March Edition
by Stacey
I love Twitterature, a monthly reading wrap up hosted by the wonderful Modern Mrs. Darcy. Apparently, I didn’t read a ton this month but I did read two good books. Here goes…
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. I have described this book as a magical, fairy tale- like book and people who know my reading tastes have been surprised to hear that I loved it. This past Christmas, I gave my mother a few books that I also gave to myself and we are having a bit of a mini book club. The Snow Child was our first selection. Mom read the Snow Child first and when she began to describe it, I thought I might skip it. She insisted that I would like it and she was right. While I hesitate to recommend it now because I only want to read books about beaches and warm weather, it really is a great read.
An Inconvenient Wife by Megan Chance. When I fell in to bit of a reading rut recently, I asked the librarian who runs our library book club for a few recommendations. My first read off of her list was An Inconvenient Wife. I loved the beginning, found the middle a bit strange but adored the ending. Much like the time I wrote about The Other Typist, I really feel like there is little I can tell you about this book without ruining it. Just please read and it then come back here and tell me what you thought.
Those both sound really intriguing! I love the idea of a mini-book club with your mother too-what a fun way to connect! I might steal that idea for Mother’s Day this year 🙂
Interesting! I’ve never heard of either one. I’ll keep an eye out for them!
I’m officially the last person left who hasn’t read The Snow Child. I will! Eventually!
The cover alone of An Inconvenient Wife makes me want to read it!
