Today I finished a very, very, very long audio book. It feels like I have been listening to it a few weeks. I know I started it over a week ago. It is 12 CDs. I was not very far into this book when I realized I read it. Not sure how long ago. Must have been awhile. I could not remember the ending. I did not remember the ending even when I heard it.
I have read a few books that have to do with book clubs. I think I always enjoy them. They are usually about a group of women that have the bond of reading. It makes for interesting reading.
This story is about five diverse women in suburban Chicago. They share the bond of reading as they struggle with life-changing issues.
I liked all the female characters in this book. I even liked the characters that had ugly flaws that made them make poor choices. Once in awhile when I read I will dislike weak characters. Or the characters that make choices that hurt their friends. It was not like that in this book. Every character was working through a difficult time in their life. That was easy to identify with. I enjoyed the way the women evolved.
At the end they were all wiser for having made the decisions they made. Even the poor decisions. I enjoyed this book.
I rate this book a 3.
I think I will be able to accomplish my goal of 100. I have 10 more days. I have a 3 day week-end coming. Christmas Day I do not have anything going on until late in the day. That means I should be able to get a book read. I started a new audio book today. The problem with achieving my goal is, what next??
The count is: 6
