MMD Reading Challenge 2017- For Fun Category: Book with a reputation of being un-put-down-able This is not a book I normally would've been drawn to, but I found out that it was written by one of the writers for Arrested Development, and I became intrigued. I flew through this book. It's a pretty hilarious satire, and while it feels like a light "chic lit", the characters have depth. This novel is in epistolary form, made up of emails, psychology reports, FBI documents, school memos, etc. that have been collected by Bee, Bernadette's daughter, as well as Bee's first person account of her search for her mother .
Back to the Classics Reading Challenge 2017 Category: Russian Classic This book took me a little while to get into, but once I got through the first few chapters, I was hooked! This is a long, philosophically dense book, but do not let that deter you. It is anything, but boring, and it will make you think. The main conflict in the novel is Faith vs Doubt. The characters are so dynamic that I believed they were real people. Definitely take your time reading this one. I read it in two months, and there is so much to it that I want to read it again. I think I will read a different translation every time. I actually regret that I can't read it in Russian. I would love to experience this novel in it's original glory .
