Fallen behind in blogging

But I am still working on my reading challenge.
I am currently reading Book #65, which is Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton.

So far in 2014, I have read some great books:

Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok, which I LOVED.  One of the best books I've ever read. 

The Secrets of Mary Bowser by Lois Leveen.  It was a little slow at times, but a really good book about a freed slave who becomes a Union spy.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.  I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought, but still a cute book about an Autistic geneticist who is looking for the perfect wife.

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.  I can't believe I've gotten to 39 and never read this book.  I loved it and am picking up the movie at the library tomorrow.

The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain.  Again, another book I've always heard of, but never read.  I really liked it.  About a transient who happens upon a couple, falls in love with the wife and they plot to do away with the husband.  I'm looking into reading more by this author.

I put up every book I'm reading on my Instagram, if any other book lovers are on there, add me, I'm Lamerefamily and use the #200challenge.
