Happy Tuesday! I just discovered the Show Us Your Books link-up with Life According to Steph and Jana Says. It's a book link-up they host on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.
I'm excited to share the books I read in February.
How to Stop Time by Matt Haig
This is the first time I've read a book by this author. I was given this book for Christmas. The main character Tom Hazard looks 41 years old but has a rare condition and is centuries old. Tom has to move around every 8 years and is tired of moving around and wants an ordinary life. We are taken back and forth in time and have learned about all the people and places Tom has experienced over his long life. Then the story takes us to present-day life for Tom where it involves mystery and a love story. Tom is finally happy at the end of his life. I thought the book had a slow start but then the story picked up and I enjoyed reading this book.
I've noticed on the New York Times bestsellers list is another book by this author called the Midnight Library. I'd love to add this to my book list.
The Queen of Paris - A Novel of Coco Chanel by Pamela Binnings Ewen
This is another new to me author and book that I received for Christmas. I loved reading this book and I couldn't put it down. This is a historical fiction book about Coco Chanel. I think you'll enjoy learning more about the life of fashion designer Coco Chanel.
I recently shared about my book goals and all of the books I want to read. I am going off that book list and reading The Lincoln Highway.
The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles
I just started reading this book last week. This book was recommended by Jenna from the Today show who has a book club. Mr. JCL read this book and also recommended I read it. I'm reading it on the Kindle app on my iPad.
Have you read any of these books? What book are you reading now?
