Friday Reads are ALL the books...

I plan on parking myself at the beach every day this weekend, and my weekend reads reflect my selfish, gluttonous plans! (Why yes, I am terrible at limiting myself and unseen is my e-reader, packed full of additional choices!) Lots of historical fiction with some thrillers, so I might need to round it all out with something fluffy and fun if I can settle on the right title.

What are your weekend reading plans?

  1. The beach is the perfect place to read! I've got a lot going on this weekend so I may not get much reading done.

    1. I'm afraid it is wasted on me -- I'm not enjoying it! :/

  3. Sounds like a fabulous weekend! I love e-readers - they allow you to hide how many extra books you are bringing along on a trip :)

    I'm reading an ARC of Tana French's newest Dublin Murder Squad thriller "Broken Harbor" and I have a thriller set in Saudi Arabia waiting for me at the library: "Finding Nouf" by Zoe Ferraris.

    1. I *adore* my e-reader for that very reason!! I've not yet ready Tana French but need to -- I've heard nothing but amazing things about her -- and I've long had Finding Nouf on my TBR -- will look for your review of it!

  4. That sounds amazing. Enjoy! I'm quite curious to hear what you think of Flight from Berlin.

    1. So far, it's provoked heated discussion about whether some of the anti-Hitler attitudes displayed by the Americans is accurate -- my wife argues it was too early for Americans to be aware the realities of Nazi Germany, etc. Otherwise, I'm sort of 'eh' on it.

  5. I plan on starting Flight from Berlin as well this weekend (are we on the same tours?). First, though, I must finish The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh for my book club on Monday.
    Enjoy your beach weekend!

    1. Probably! :) Can't wait to see what you think of it -- so far, it's middling for me.

  6. I love the idea of beach reading, but I get distracted by the gorgeous views. I could stare at the ocean all day long.

    My plans for today? I have The Bird Saviors on my Kindle which I really need to read so I can get the review posted. It's really good so far though. I packed a crappy lunch so will probably sit outside somewhere and just read and eat.

    1. I did almost zero reading -- I couldn't resist the lure of the ocean!

      I haven't heard of The Bird Saviors -- will look for your review as I always think you find the most interesting books to read!

  7. I am really excited about this weekend because I am joining The Adult Literacy League and am going to learn how to teach someone to read! I am so excited and can hardly wait! In the meantime, I will be continuing to listen to Wolf Hall (which is EXCELLENT in audio) and reading Gone Girl for book club. It is shaping up to be a great weekend!

  8. Enjoy your reading at the beach! I'll be at the beach for 4 days, starting tomorrow, and am still trying to decide what my reading will be!

  10. I toooootally want to read Overseas!!!!

  11. Happy reading to you :) I'm looking forward to Overseas. I can't beach read because I'm too busy enjoying the sights and get easily dsitracted. That doesn't stop me from bringing books there though!

    1. I totally failed on the reading front -- I brought tons of books but spent much of my time swimming, napping, or eating lobster rolls!

Book Review: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Image
First line: Okonkwo was well known throughout the nine villages and even beyond.

I had to grit my teeth to get through this book. (All 209 pages.)

I'm ashamed to admit this since a surprising number of folks online and in person have cited this novella as one of their favorite books, but I found everything about this brief read to be agonizing -- the plot, the narrative style, the characters -- it and I just did not connect.

I went in expecting to love this book given its reputation and subject matter. Achebe depicts the story of a Nigeria broken by white colonialism; our hero is deeply flawed and stubbornly committed, living in a world with problems triply complicated by the unnecessary influence of white colonizers. Achebe's narrative style is straight-forward and clear, even as he articulates a world deeply foreign to modern audiences.

I suspect I didn't understand this book; I'm also not a huge fan of tragedies (I loathe Hamlet) so Okonkwo as a character didn'…

Book Review: Basic Black with Pearls by Helen Weinzweig

Image
First line: Night comes as a surprise in the tropics.

It took me less than a month, but more than two weeks, to read this brief novel; it's incredibly interior-oriented, which isn't a bad thing, but it didn't allow for lazy, quick reading. Our narrator, Shirley, is clever, and you can't be sloppy to keep up with her.

The feel of this novel is Erica Jong meets Kate Chopin. Shirley is a smart, passionate 40-something housewife who travels the world meeting her spy lover.

But their latest tryst takes her back to Toronto, where she grew up and still lives, and as we watch Shirley attempt to untangle the clues that will connect her with her lover, we start to wonder just how much of this might be real.

And yet, that's not precisely the point of this novel. In her pursuit of her lover, we're exposed to Shirley's entire life -- her childhood, her marriage, her anxieties and hopes -- and a complicated-but-familiar portrait emerges. By the end, I found myself wantin…

Book Review: Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel

Image
First line: --Central, this is Lapetus. Target in sight.

This is the final novel in the Themis Files trilogy (I reviewed the previous two novels, Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods.) 

I'm not going to summarize the plot because I don't want to end up spoiling anything. As a concluding novel, it did everything I needed a final book to do: wrapped up plot threads, answered the mysteries, and provided some final flash bang.

As with his previous novels, I think some of Neuvel's characterizations are thin -- no doubt because the story is told through transcripts and journal entries -- and it left me a little impatient with the story.

These were fast reads, so if you want a Michael Bay-esque summer action flick in a book, this trilogy will do it.

Title:Only Human
Author: Sylvain Neuvel
Genre: Fiction (Sci Fi / Speculative / Mecha / Aliens / Parenthood / Social Commentary / Warfare)

Reading Challenges:E-book, Historical Fiction

Do I like the cover?: You know what? I do. I thought I didn't, but when I viewed the image full size, the textured background, the 'Western' font, and the silhouettes actually appeal to me.

First line: I'll be damned.

Buy, Borrow, or Avoid?: Borrow or buy if you like Westerns, the Southwest as a setting, or want a look at a wild and tempestuous time in US history.

Why did I get this book?: I've always been a bit curious about Kit Carson …
