The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith


My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I may be jaded because a) I listened to this rather than read it and 2) I was on a miserable drive. But I hated it. I hated how the author had to use the entire name of each person every single time they mentioned each person. It read like a bad soap opera, and none of the cases seemed related. Like you didn't have to tune in every week because it will be completely unrelated.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I feel bad saying it, but I didn't like this book. I am really interested in books about the Holocaust, but this read too much like a text book to me.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have heard so much about this book, and I was not disappointed. The story is told from three perspectives: Skeeter, a rich white woman who is different from the rest of the rich white girls, Aibileen, a woman who has been a slave her whole life, and her friend, Minny, a loud-mouthed slave who can't hold down a job. I didn't necessarily think this book was groundbreaking or as hyped as everyone says, but I really enjoyed it and didn't want to put it down.

Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I listened to this book on the looong drive to SC and I found it cute. Not sure if I will read the rest of the series, but I was entertained.

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I was disappointed in this book. I thought it would be a lot better than it was. I didn't think it was all that funny. Wishing I had tried My Horizontal Life instead.

"The Greatest Invention In The History Of Mankind Is Beer" And Other Manly Insights From Dave Barry by Dave Barry



So so stupid. I am not going to give it a rating because I am assuming if you get this book you are looking for exactly what it gives you. I just had to find a book with "mankind" in the title for the challenge.
