The Adventures of the Little Indian Girl

It's been a while since I read fiction...well, books really. Well, no. I have read some recently but they have all been related to parenting.

This one I came across through the book club started in one of the moms' group I joined. The Cutting Season by Attica Locke It's not a book I would have picked out on my own. I wouldn't have come across it in other circles I think. The storyline didn't seem all that intriguing. But it was a great read! It was a page turner and yet the tone was a leisurely tone set. Maybe to reflect the Southern culture. For a while although I was rooting for the main character, I didn't feel all that attached to her. She seemed rather detached and unlikable. Maybe it was the writing that was lacking. And yet I felt that is who she is. Not everyone is all passionate and animated.

I picked up the first book that Locke earned a lot of praise for, Black Water Rising. All courtesy the library eBook collection! It's nice to be using the Kindle after such a long time! I think it has been 3 years!

ETA: I forgot! I recently read Bossypants by Tina Fey! It's not fiction but it's not a parenting book either... kind of! Been meaning to write about it too!
