Two Women Walk Into A Bar

Two Women Walk Into A Bar Is a very short book by Cheryl Strayed that memorializes her relationship with her mother in law. It was offered free to Prime members in Kindle, and I read it in less than an hour. Strayed’s is definitely the style of writing I aspire to, and this short memoir reminded me of the QuigleyWorld blog posts I wrote about my parents’ deaths. 

The kids gave Stu and I a StoryWorth subscription for Christmas this year. I’m excited, and a little intimidated, to get started. Maybe writing will sustain me after I retire next year. God I hope so!

Malibu Rising

 

What’s the hype about Taylor Jenkins Reid? Maybe I chose the wrong book to read first. Malibu Rising was just okay; it was a quick read, but I wasn’t wowed by the writing style, characters or plot. Meredith suggested Daisy Jones & The Six and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Maybe I’ll try one of those next summer.
