August Reading:
Here’s What I Read for the Month of August
Hello! August was a month of personal transition for me; moving out of the hospital and into the house. Long story short, I pretty much stayed in the house for 30 days, which meant that I had a lot of reading time! My goal was to read 5 books, but I ended up with 6! This next month I’m hoping to do the same (with lots more time in public and outdoors).
IDAHO (5 STARS)
As Wade begins to lose his memory, Ann begins to piece is together, but also struggles to find her own peace and her own life, alongside the other characters in the novel. This is a book about “when one door closes another opens” to a dark, beautiful extreme. It’s about love and moving on. Forgiveness and being haunted by the past; even when it’s a past that isn’t yours. This is one of those rare books that not only gets 5 stars, but really should have. Every paragraph is beautifully written and intimate. There are some passages written in this book that I will hold close to my heart for a very long time. This author manages to dig deep at the characters, at people, in a way that is incredibly special. This book is a masterpiece. From following the lives of Wade and Ann, to flashing back to Wade’s previous life with Jenny and their children, to everyone who is touched…
