in august i read:
transcription, by kate atkinson (i didn't love this book, and i really did love the few other kate atkinson books i've read. read life after life instead of this one! i just didn't find this story line compelling enough for me, and life after life is fantastic.)
how not to die alone, by richard roper (a super sweet and compelling story about a man who works for a government agency in england that tries to find the next of kin for people who die alone. while he also works in his personal life on not being that person who does alone. an easy read - would be perfect for the beach or another vacation, even given the somewhat grim subject matter - it's not a depressing book to read at all. i recommend it!)
the reckless oath we made, by bryn greenwood (this is the second book by this author that i've read this year and i really love her writing. this one, like all the ugly and wonderful things, is profoundly sad at times, but there's also a spirit to her characters that tells you they can overcome the bad things in their life. i think that's why i like her writing so much! i'd highly recommend you check out one of her books.)
