August and September Books

• fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell
• The Golden Notebook, by Doris Lessing
• Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson, by Jeff Guinn
• Bright as Heaven, by Susan Meissner

I'm sure there were others, but I lost track. :-/

fangirl was light and fun, I recommend.

The Golden Notebook was long, and I wanted to like it because of the author and content, but, meh.
Bright as Heaven is a fictional view of one families experience of the Spanish flu in 1918.  I enjoyed the story.

Manson, shudder.  I loved the job the author did on the setting, place and time were so well captured and I learned somethings.  But, every time Manson was in the picture I felt unsettled.  So, maybe the author did a good job, but I'm not sure I liked it.
