Charms for the Easy Life by Kaye GibbonsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a delightful quick read. I loved the characters and the simple stories. This is a great book for a light read that still has some poignancy to it.

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David WroblewskiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. This book was different from anything I've ever read. The prose is beautiful and the story equally compelling. The characters--including the dogs--are so complex, and the relationship Edgar has with his dogs is remarkable. The book jacket was a little misleading to me, but I liked the actual story more than what I was expecting. Though I truly loved this book, it did wax a little long to me. However, that's pretty inconsequential considering how much this book made me think. This is a novel I'll have to go back and reread, because I know I didn't catch all the meanings and nuances the first time.
Loved it. Read it.

Huh. I was surprised by how little I enjoyed this book. Maybe it was just too different from what I was expecting.
That was Edgar Sawtelle I was referring to, by the way.
I love both of those books!
We missed you at donut night...
I absolutely loved Charms for the Easy Life, and have the other book on my to-read list.
