28. The Unbearable Lightness of Scones by Alexander McCall Smith – it was alright. A story following a score of people, with no real plot, just a story of life. Amusing at times, not LOL funny, but just…alright.
29. Black Rednecks and White Liberals by Thomas Sowell – a collection of essays about race issues. Some were interesting (including the title essay), some were more dry and repetitive. It was interesting but by the end I was ready for it to end.
30. Trap Line by Carl Hiaasen – not like his other books, this one isn’t a light hearted amusing Florida tale, but a serious Florida tale focusing on drug trafficking. Not bad, but not what I was expecting based on the previous ones that I read.
31. The Book of Polly by Kathy Hepinstall – an amusing tale of a young girl with and old mom, and secrets. Compared to Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man, it wasn’t laugh out loud funny like Daisy (nothing is!) but it was a cute story with some chuckles. Quick read.
