Book #2 in 2011 (Audio)

Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner. Read by Judith Light.

14 hours, 30 minutes.

When a married senator gets caught cheating, how does it effect the other members of his family? Told from the viewpoints of the wife and each of the 2 daughters. I was somewhat disappointed by Sylvie's choice at the end of the book.

Had some trouble with Judith Light as the reader at first - kept hearing of Angela Bower from Who's the Boss? - but after settling in, I enjoyed her narration.

4 stars, as chick-lit.

4 stars.

Results for 2010

I finished only 39 books in 2010. That is a success rate of 75%, or a failure rate of 25%, I suppose. Surprisingly, this is the same number of books completed for 2009. Hmmm.

I have not made a goal of 52 books read in 2011, but will continue to keep track of them anyway. I wonder if this will effect my results.
