BOOKS
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
I read this at the beach which was a great place to read it.  Funny, smart and easy.  I am a little surprised this made the ToB list, but I am also very glad not every book on it requires deep thinking.

Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter
I loved this book. And let me say a big thank you to the TOB, otherwise I would not have picked this up. I thought it was brilliantly put together ... the author made the disparate stories come together in a way that made absolute sense to me. It was bright and colorful with just enough madness to keep it interesting. It spanned decades of time, but I did not get lost along the way.


Hey, don't judge.  I could have read more, but I didn't want to.  I spent the month of January vacationing in the Florida Keys, skiing in British Columbia and cleaning up after the holidays.
