This Weeks Books (books finished in the week ending 2/5/17)

Making Life Easy: A Simple Guide to a Divinely Inspired Life - Christiane Northrup, M.D.
I listened to the book on tape.  It was much more "airy, fairy" than I had anticipated and I loved everything it had to offer.  Dr. Northrup breaks everything down into to doable steps.  I ended up buying a copy to  use as reference (as following steps from an audio book involves a lot of transcription).
#popsugarreadingchallenge - audio book & book by someone I admire.

Leviathan Wakes - James. S. A. Corey (actually Daniel Abraham & Ty Franck)
I don't normally pick up science fiction on my own, but when someone recommends it, I always enjoy it.  I will have to check out the tv show (word has it, the second season has just begun), and the novella about Fred.  I enjoyed how the point of view alternated between two characters, with the exception of the epilogue.  (thank you Liane - great gift)
#popsugarreadingchallenge - a book with multiple authors (which I didn't know until I read the interview in the back of the book) & a book by an author who uses a pseudonym (the reason I didn't know it was two authors)

Dumplin' - Julie Murphy
I enjoyed this book.  Perhaps I read it too fast, but it felt like something was missing.  Perhaps her body confidence and general confidence wasn't established or thoroughly enough so that when it wavered and escaped her, it didn't feel missing.  I enjoyed all the characters and how death was dealt with - an ongoing process.  It occurs to me that this could easily be made into a film and the confidence could be easier to establish without beating one over the head with it.
#popsugarreadingchallenge - a book with a title that is a character's name (does nickname count?)
