What I’m Reading Now:

Just My Luck by Adele Parks

I read a lot. I recently came back from a week’s vacation and in that time I read 2 1/2 books. Most of that happened while waiting at the airport, or on the flights. Reading is definitely my happy place. From time to time I’ll share what I have just read and give you an idea of whether or not you might like to read it by responding to the following prompts. Here’s my first selection:

Book: Just My Luck

Fiction/Nonfiction: Fiction

Author: Adele Parks

Have I read this author before: No

One sentence summary: Lexi and Jake win the lottery and soon discover the changes it brings are not all positive

Best thing about the book: My new favorite quote: “Those at the Top of the Mountain didn’t Fall There” which I have seen attributed to both Marcus Washling and Vince Lombardi

Worst thing about the book: The speed and levels at which some of the characters (mostly the narrator’s husband) succumbed and squalored their good fortune was a little unrealistic

Did it make me want to keep reading: Yes, I wanted to know how it would end

What I learned: Other than the obvious problems, the book showed some potential problems that I never would have envisioned

Will I read more books by this author: Yes, I thought it was well written and engaging
