My March 2018 Book Reviews
I read two pretty good books this month and one dud. I was very excited that it was my turn to pick a book for book club and it was pretty well liked! And we never agree! The Identicals by Elin Hildebrand I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. In the past, I was a huge fan of Hildebrand’s work. She writes books that are fun, light, and entertaining. After reading many of her books, I started to get bored with them. But, I keep reading them. After reading The Rumor last year, I started falling in love with her work. The Identicals was an entertaining story of…

I have not read books from Ann Patchett in the past, but I had heard good things about her work. I found this book to be very dull.

The 10 Best Books I Read in 2017
Not only am I a teacher, I am also an avid reader. Each year I set lofty goals on Goodreads.com and then I read voraciously to try and meet them. This year I set a goal of 50 books, but I was sidelined from six months of migraines and fell behind. I plan on setting the same goal next year and with the migraines at bay, I hope to reach it! Personally, I am always looking for new books to read so I compiled a list of the best books I read in 2017. Some of these are new, some are old. Most I read for the first time, but…
