Monthly Book Review: April 2018

All the feels from last month are a distant memory. I had every intention of reading more than two books in April, but ... I don’t even have an excuse. Lame.

Why I Hate Green Beans by Lincee Ray (nonfiction) - I don’t recall how I stumbled on this. It is a delightful mix of throwback pop culture references and cringe-worthy life experiences. You’ll want to invite Lincee over for margaritas and discuss if it is possible to watch too much television.

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn - This was already in my queue when I suggested it for book club. It’s two years post WWII and Charley is a spirited girl looking for her French cousin. She gets mixed up with Eve, who has major PTSD and an ax to grind from her days as a spy in WWI’s Alice network. The book alternates between the two women and the intersection of their stories is fantastic. Everyone in book club agreed that they wanted more when the story came to an end.

Next up:
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
City of Thieves by David Benioff
The Map of Heaven by Eben Alexander
All Clear by Connie Willis
