These titles have kept me absorbed and often moved over the last few weeks. There were a few others that I gave up on (life’s way too short to keep reading something I’m not enjoying) but I prefer to celebrate and spread the word about books I like rather than diss the ones I don’t. Perhaps you’ll find something here that you’ll enjoy. Happy reading!
