september: 35 & 36

all the colors of the dark, by chris whitaker (this was a read with jenna book club pick and i read it for that reason...but i found it really weird and hard to figure out what was real and what was happening in a character's mind - which i think was sort of the point but i didn't love that element of the book.  the middle of the book kind of dragged for me and i guess ultimately i wouldn't recommend this one.)

the wedding people, by alison espach (also a read with jenna pick, but one that i liked a lot more.  a few improbable elements but ultimately i was charmed by this book - vivid setting, interesting and likable characters, quick read.  this would be a great book to take on vacation! i should also mention that it just won the goodreads best fiction book of the year, and while i don't *always* agree with goodreads, this is a good choice.)
