The holidays are over for now. It’s a new year and I’m off to the races in the reading department. In the past week, I finished one book I had started before Christmas, but I put it aside during the festivities. I picked it back up on New Years Day and finished it a couple of days later. And then, I read another book.
The Guncle Abroad by Steven Rowley
Patrick reports for Guncle duty, five years after we left off in the first book. Patrick’s brother, Greg, is getting remarried and the kids are not on board. Before the big day, Patrick takes the children on a trip across Europe while trying to teach them about love. It was cute.
The Rent Collector by Camron Wright
A couple living at Stung Meanchey, the largest dump in Cambodia, eke out a living by picking over the trash for recyclables they can sell for food and medicine for their constantly ill child. Real people inspired this novel and there is a documentary about them called River of Victory. The book was very good. I’ll let you know about the documentary.
Stay warm, People! We are having winter over here in north Texas. I don’t know about you.
MK out.
