Book #23 in 2015

True Sisters by Sandra Dallas.  Read by Christina Moore.

10.25 hours.

Tells the story of 4 women making the Mormon trek from Iowa to Salt Lake City in 1856.  Interesting to listen to the different stories, but depressing as hell sometimes as people die off during the 1,300 trip (by foot!).

4 stars.

Book #22 in 2015

The Wednesday Group by Sylvia True.

While this was an interesting look at the lives of the wives of sex addicts, I never connected with the characters.  Except for Gail, I had to constantly flip back to remind myself of each woman's situation.  The ending was very unsatisfying.  The best I can figure is that this reflects the transient nature of group therapy?

2 stars.

Book #21 in 2015

14th Deadly Sin by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro.

Latest installment of the Women's Murder Club.  I swear these continue to get worse.  Another hodgepodge of ideas crammed into one "story".  And it seems like the authors continue to bump up the word count with repetition of facts.

2 stars.
