Favorite Books of the Month:
The Foundling: The True Story of a Kidnapping, a Family Secret and My Search for the Real Me by Paul Joseph Fronczak -The case has fascinated me since I first stumbled across it a few years ago and this book was even better than expected. I really loved how it dealt with the evoloution of genetic genealogy as an investigative tool and the emotional fallout from a search like this.
Mother-Daughter Murder Night by Nina Simon - This took me a bit to get into but once I was in I was absolutely hooked. I loved how the relationships between the three generations evolved and the mystery was good too!
Bookish Armchair Travels:
Domestic Travel: I visited Arizona, Illinois, and Tennessee for the first time and revisited California (twice) and Connecticut.
International Travel: I visited England 3 times - twice during the 1930s - 1950s and one time during present day as well as a remote and isolated island in Scotland.
How was your March reading? Where did your books take you?
I had put The Foundling on my list fro a previous post of yours. You may also like Dani Shapiro's book Inheritance. It was great. My reading has me in England and New York lately.
ReplyDeleteI need to try Mother-Daughter Murder Night. Have seen it around several times. You had a lot going on this last month, but you still got a bunch read. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThat's still more than many people read in a year. Happy reading!

I enjoyed Mother-Daughter Murder Night too! It sounds like you had a good reading month, even if you were able to fit in less this past month. The Foundling sounds really good! I'll have to look for it. Have a great April, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteIt is great how audiobooks can boost our reading numbers so its noticed when you don't fit so many in. Pretty awful to be kidnapped and then to track down your beginnings.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter just recommended Mother-Daughter Murder Night to me, so I'm glad to see you enjoyed it, too!
