Books 37-41 on the Road to 64!

41/64: The Devil in the White City by Larson, 3/5 Stars
Entertained Me: Med / Made Me Think: Med
Enjoyed this non-fiction read about the making of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and the savagery that came with it.

40/64: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Shaffer, 3.5/5 Stars
Entertained Me: High / Made Me Think: Med
Took me several pages to get into the style of reading letters written between folk, but eventually captivated me and carried me to the end of the story in such a great manner that I had to find out if it was fiction or non-fiction!

39/64: The Help by Stockett, 4/5 Stars
Entertained Me: High / Made Me Think: Med
Very much enjoyed The Help!

38/64: The Accidental Tourist by Tyler, 2/5 Stars
Entertained Me: Med / Made Me Think: Low
This book is kinda like the movie for me: starts off interesting and then never does anything exciting.

37/64: A Room With a View by Forster, 1/5 Stars
Entertained Me: Low / Made Me Think: Low
Wrong era. Wrong style. Wrong plot for my liking.
