July- 2

I'm honestly not certain why The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams ended up on my list. But how nice it was to read a childhood classic. What more can I really say about a book that almost everyone has read. There were a few things I read this time around that I didn't quite remember from reading it in childhood, but other than that it was as good as I remembered it being as a kid, and though it wasn't one of my favorite childhood books, I'm glad I took a look back at it.

Author Sarah Strohmeyer always seems to end up on my list. I've read numerous of her books and while the writing is always fine and I'm never disappointed I took the time to read or listen to one of her novels, they are never quite what you think you are getting based on the book jacket description. The Penny Pincher's Club was not quite what I expected to find, but was a good listen. It also made me think quite a bit about adult relationships and reasons for divorce and how marriages can sometimes fall apart. This isn't quite what the book leads you to believe it will be about, but nonetheless it was a worthwhile listen.
