I didn’t get much read this past month, but the two books that I did read were fun!

Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she’s a fearlessly opinionated partner; but, to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she’s a disgrace; to design mavens, she’s a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.

Then Bernadette disappears.  To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence…

This books is odd, but curiously addictive!  Bernadette is a mess, but somehow still likeable.  You’ll enjoy this fun, fast-paced book.  And, it’s coming out as a movie this month!

 The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler

In California’s central valley, five women and one man join to discuss Jane Austen’s novels. Over the six months they get together, marriages are tested, affairs begin, unsuitable arrangements become suitable, and love happens.

I very much enjoyed this book!  Each month explored a new Jane Austen novel along with a different character in the story. They were not your typical, or at least what I would consider a typical, Jane Austen fan. The characters are real, funny and surprising.  If you’re a Jane Austen fan, you’ll enjoy this different take on her books.
