What I'm Reading

I limited the boyfriend to buying me just one book for Christmas this year. He likes to find me books that are outside my normal reading area, which is great because I do enjoy doing that but it's hard, too, when there are so many new books in my genre that I want to read to stay current of what is being published in the area where I want to be. I just don't have enough time to read as much as I want to! So this year's book was The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown, which was a decent pick since the book is about three sisters raised by an academic and his wife in a college town - all of whom almost always have their noses in a book. What's not to like about a family of readers? There is more to the story than that, of course. When the mother falls ill, the book hits a little close to home so there were some issues in the book that felt very personal to me and were, at times, tough for me to wrestle with. All in all though, I enjoyed the book and think the boyfriend did a good job with his gift selection. Unless, of course, there is some subliminal meaning in the title. My sister and I aren't weird at all!
