The Books That Bind Us

A blog about books, writing, and words. A compendium of sorts. All book suggestions not only welcomed but invited. I hope you find this place, a place to dream. I take no credit for the pictures on this page unless otherwise noted. All reviews are mine and mine alone, I am not paid to do reviews, I just simply love to read.

What I Read in March

Sorry I have been horribly absent from this blog.  March was a busy month for me.  I was literally only in my city for two weeks out of the month and then for the last five days I have been down hard with the flu.  So I will get back here to all you lovely people.  But here is what I read in March.  Not so much, but hey more than most Americans right? lol.

I am so sorry that I haven't posted in a bit.  I was on a work trip with the global team and had loads of fun, loads of work and altogether no time.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further … And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Books I've Read

Forgotten by Catherine McKenzie

I really enjoy McKenzie's books.  They would technically be classified as "chick lit" - and I hate that label because I think it denies good books what they can be.  And I feel like McKenzie's books are in a different category than Bridget Jones' Diary.

Emma's mother falls ill and passes away.  In her Will she purchased Emma an open ended ticket to Africa.  Emma, a corporate lawyer about to make partner, goes hesitantly.  While in Africa a series of events occurs and she is gone for 6 months.  When she returns she finds out that everything believes she has died.

Emma has to start her life over and figure out if the lessons she learned in Africa will stick.

Loved this book. I read it on my snow day this week.  Yes we have snow days in the South sometimes.

Read it if you want a fun book.

I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
