The Changeling by Kate Horsley

I was excited to read this book because I had liked her other book, Confessions of a Pagan Nun, so well. I was slightly disappointed however. It's still a pretty good book, but it wasn't nearly as engaging as the other one. It also didn't have the same bluntness that I loved in Pagan Nun; the bluntness that just laid out the facts regardless of who might be offended. Still a good read though, and it probably would have been better if I hadn't run out of time and had to put it down so much and for so long.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was definitely different, and not the kind of book I would normally pick up, but it was definitely intriguing and quick to read. I wanted to pick it up and finish it and not put it down. It was our book club book for this month and most of the rest of the book club members liked it too. We had an interesting discussion about autism, which is apparently the boy's condition. I found it very interesting how the boy thought. It made a lot of sense in a very strange way how he took everything at face value and actually saw every single thing. It made me think about how much I miss in life by not paying closer attention. But at the same time I can see how noticing every single thing would be a complete sensory overload. Overall, good book, I'd definitely recommend it. Also, I loved how the chapter numbers were all prime numbers! Yes, geeky me.
