Although I've heard lots of good things about Life After Life, I couldn't get interested in it. I just downloaded The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry, but I've just started it.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510788797735066383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-1793158594261437642014-04-27T13:48:34.320-07:002014-04-27T13:48:34.320-07:00I really enjoyed Life After Life.

It took me a little while to get into it, purely because I was always so tired by the time I picked it up at night and only read in very short bursts to begin with. It was well worth persevering with. Right now I'm reading Tuesdays with Morrie. I remember those kind of lazy Sunday mornings....long ago!Fiona@Staring at the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893269475772722633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-57071926316286106032014-04-27T08:41:50.498-07:002014-04-27T08:41:50.498-07:00I saw the Golem & the Jinni at the library las...I saw the Golem & the Jinni at the library last week but didn't pick it up. I'll have to see if it is still there Wednesday when I go back.<br /><br />I just worked my way through the last 3 books in a contemporary mystery series by Connie Shelton about a woman who owns a bakery & has this mysterious magical box that gives her energy & enhanced abilities. I'm not a fan of mysterious magical boxes in contemporary mysteries. I think they are a plotting cop out, but this series did it quite well. It didn't rely on the box to solve everything & I liked the characters.ComfyMom~Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645425225886356909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671093558941693832.post-31017483664779190252014-04-27T08:27:36.401-07:002014-04-27T08:27:36.401-07:00I loved Life after Life.

It's confusing, with many different versions of what might have been, plus confusing chronology.I got confused, maybe partly because I read before sleep and sometimes am more asleep than reading.I loved it at the end so much and was enough confused that I read the first half again. I loved the main character. Joannoreply@blogger.com
