*It’s true, I really can read!
THE BOOK: Say Her Name by Francisco Goldman
My feeble thoughts: Francisco writes his own true life love story, a deeply sentimental novel detailing his marriage to Aura, cut much too short after she passes away in a tragic surfing accident while they vacationed in Mexico. He is left to pick up his life’s pieces in New York, while trying to honor her memories and cop
Sorry, I never finished the damn thing. I got bored!
Grade: C, but I’ll take credit for the poor score. Goldman is a wonderful writer and his love for Aura is sincere.
Would I recommend it to a stranger on the bus (trying to make his way home)? If you are the romantic type, maybe.
What I am reading now: Hubs grabbed me another book from the library about serial killers, oh dear.
lol…I love your book recaps! I am oddly intrigued to read this now. I also want to hear about this serial killer book…
I’ll keep you posted about the serial killer one – it’s called Devil All The Time. So far, so good!
The serial killer also interests me more than the sappy love story. It is easy to write a love you forever story when you are only together for 2 weeks. ::)) Don’t read about the serial killer either. Ick. Have a great day. Lv mamap
I was really wondering if there was going to more of a plot or just pages of endless reminiscing – I guess we’ll never know!
I take credit (blame) for this book, since I picked it up for her unsolicited from the library. A surfing accident that leaves the young woman in the hospital: sounded much more exciting than it turned out to be!
Is it a bad sign that we are both reading serial killer books now? I hope the library doesn’t suspend our cards.
We’ve definitely been put on some sort of Watch List.
I watched a movie about a serial killer that was caught partly based on his reading list from the library…it was the movie se7en…creepy! So, if you decide to become a crazed serial killer, stop checking out library books and you’ll be sure to not get caught
NO WAY! I saw that movie years ago (so good!) but I spaced on that part (a common occurrence in my world).
Kate – LOL Creepy business, reading lists. thecandace and SIL are both on my watch list as well. What is the name of the serial killer book? lv mamap
The Devil All The Time
