What I read in February

 

This will be a fairly short post since I need to catch up! I had a lot of good reading in February!

The Women by Kristen Hannah was, by far, my favorite book of February. It is a wonderful story of the nurses who served in the Vietnam War. There were tears off and on as I read the book. I thought that it was very well written and very hard to put down! Excellent book!

The Boy by Tammi Hoag was a good book! It is a mystery about a child being murdered at home and his mother is not harmed. Who would kill a young boy? And why is his twelve-year-old babysitter missing? The story takes place in a small town in Louisiana and really kept me involved in the story. Another good read!

The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny is another of the Three Pine Series by this author. This one involved someone dying of fright. Or did she? This is another good mystery. I love this series!

Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus was my spiritual reading for February. I found it to be a very interesting book. It has a lot of Hebrew interpretations of what Jesus said, which don't quite line up with the English translations. I really liked it!

Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan is a small, but quite meaningful book. It takes place in 1985 in Ireland (as all her books do). I became aware of this book when I read that Cillian Murphy is starring in a movie of the book! He will be perfect for the role. I found this to be a quite meaningful book, also. I have read several books by this author and she does not disappoint!

The last two books are by Edna O'Brien.  I started reading Little Red Chairs and did not finish it. I really didn't like it. However, since I also had the book In the Forest, I went ahead and started reading it. I did finish the book, but it's hard to describe how disturbing I thought it was. I don't think that I will be reading any other of her books.
