only finished a second book this month

Between moving the business one town over and cleaning up the old place, I'm exhausted! Both my sis and I ended up with terrible chest colds! So I have no time yet.

I did read Joyce Carol Oates book Beasts.

Although it was a short novel and easy to read, it just was not my cup of tea. It was definitely a character driven narrative and all done from a first person POV. One of the reviews said something about a gothic novel feel--but it never once felt like a gothic novel to me. Drug induced insanity.

I usually like JCO's writing. However, I won't be recommending this one.
