My own doing but nonetheless it happened. I'm interest in Alice Hoffman's book, Unfaithful, it's been popping up in the background for me recently. All positive things :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209535310773458540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-10986677907194987462017-01-10T21:37:54.011-06:002017-01-10T21:37:54.011-06:00Reading goals - to read a lot more in 2017!Reading goals - to read a lot more in 2017!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248935374379919175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-8214681965158722322017-01-10T20:49:23.388-06:002017-01-10T20:49:23.388-06:00I read Morton's "The Forgotten Garden&quo...I read Morton's "The Forgotten Garden" and I liked it.

I will still cry haha.<br />i really liked I Let You Go. I did feel like a lot happened in the second half. I was worried for the dog as well. <br />i love the way you did your goal thing with your students, showing them how to take steps to achieve goals. reading/book goals are pretty much the only ones i ever achieve or surpass hahaKristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-28277163318851416452017-01-10T13:46:03.820-06:002017-01-10T13:46:03.820-06:00lol I love your synopsis of Cabin 10.

When I spend an entire book wanting to slap the protagonist, there's a problem. <br /><br />I've also read the same two Kate Morton books and I feel the same - loved The Secret Keeper, didn't much care for The Lake House. I think I might actually read The House at Riverton next. The plot summaries for The Distant Hours and The Forgotten Garden just don't suck me in.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-49595493066537139872017-01-10T12:52:00.610-06:002017-01-10T12:52:00.610-06:00You teach 10 year olds.

It didn't stop my overall love of the book but paring it down a bit would have made it even better. I'm reading The Secret Keeper for Erin's 6.0 Challenge and it's great to see another positive review it. I enjoyed Rising Strong, although it was my first Brene Brown book. Looking at the descriptions of her other books, they all seem a bit the same, which is why I haven't dove into them yet.Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-88019611866336111562017-01-10T10:37:25.564-06:002017-01-10T10:37:25.564-06:00Too funny about your student's guesses to what...Too funny about your student's guesses to what your goal was going to be. I read Among the Ten Thousand things, but had to go back to my Goodreads to be sure because I don't remember it at all-- even after reading the synopsis, I don't remember very much of it, soo probably not a bad one to DNF, haha.

I really loved The Girl From The Train, but for some reason I felt like The Woman in Cabin 10 ripped off The Girl On The Train too much, and I just didn't love it like everybody else seemed to. I've only read one Kate Morton book and it was The House at Riverton which I thought was kind of hard to get into. Everybody keeps on raving about The Secret Keeper though, so I think that I'll have to pick it up!Ashley @ The Wandering Weekendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253908070346972965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-29780055554549423982017-01-10T08:31:46.537-06:002017-01-10T08:31:46.537-06:00I really need to read some Kate Morton!
