Deals and Good Reads

What I’m Reading (books)

• Just finished The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks. It’s a sequel to The Notebook, which I read ages ago. Loved it. Sparks’ men are not realistic though Location: New Bern, NC; time: current (early 2000s).
• In the middle of The Translation of Dr Apelles by David Treuer. It’s a Native American love story. Location: somewhere in the middle; time: half current, half a few hundred years ago.
• Just started The Hazards of Good Breeding by Jessica Shattuck (social commentary). Really good so far – only on page 30. Location: Boston; time: current (early 2000s).
• (I got all of these books in Brooklyn last week at the Salvation Army for <$2 each.)
