I don’t have a single book of the week to give you this week, and I might not for the rest of the year. We’ll see.

Here’s my reasons:

1. The book I just finished was not very good and I don’t recommend it. It has good reviews, but I didn’t think the writing was very compelling, the interesting parts of the plot were underdeveloped, the twist was obvious, and there was a lot of repeated introspection with very little action. Plus, I have a problem with the husband having multiple affairs over the course of the marriage but the wife had one ten-week tryst and him finding out about it seven years later is what brought down the marriage.
2. There are so many best books of the year lists. They’re fun.
3. Beyond her reading, I love Rae’s blog, and I think you should check it out.

So…instead of Book of the Week, I present…Say It Ain’t So: Rae’s quest to read 100 books in 2014. (Spoiler alert, she’s going to make it!)

Click over to her blog (this link will take you to all the posts tagged for the 100 books goal). She’s read some great ones (and a few duds). I’ve read many of the same books (although no where near 100 books this year) and generally agree with her reviews. Plus, she’s funny. And if you like antiques or vintage at all you’re going to love her blog.
