Living With Twelve Men: A Mother in Training
Living with Twelve Men: a mother in training - Betty Auchard
Reading Betty’s stories are like sitting beside her and having a conversation. Betty doesn’t leave out anything as she writes about events in her life and I enjoyed the assortment of stories and her honesty. I found myself laughing many times as I read and I even thought, “no, she really didn’t do that, did she?”

Her story about the prayer chain hit home with me. When it came time for Betty’s turn to pray, I cracked up as she spoke to the group. I would have loved to be in that room and see everyone’s response as I think I would’ve started laughing. Her story about the guinea hens reminded me of the time I had turkeys. I don’t know how she kept her composure during that whole ordeal but I feel she’s a strong woman as I know I wouldn’t have been able to.

This is my second book of Betty’s that I’ve read and they’ve both been very enjoyable. Betty writes about her personal experiences which are honest and open. I read this book for book club and we had the honor this month (April 2021) of having Betty at our book club meeting via Zoom. Seeing her in person was wonderful, as she’s just like the individual, I pictured her to be. A very sweet, entertaining woman spoke with us. She answered all of our questions, talking about the stories in the book, asking us questions, and telling us about her life. We all enjoyed having her join us. 4.5 stars

The Twelve by Justin Cronin
The Twelve - Justin Cronin

Book 2 in an EPIC series. I loved every minute of it.

 

(I'm not putting much effort into these reviews because I have no idea if the site will even work.)

I actually finished a book!

 

I'm kind of sad that it's over, because now I have a decision to make: do I finish one of my "currently reading" books or do I start something new that might work as well for me in my current mood as Sea of Shadow did? I'm leaning towards the latter option, but I don't actually know what I'll choose. I don't think I'm in the mood for another book in this series just yet, so maybe one of the ones I just got in the mail? Or maybe I really do just need to wallow in some rereads for a while...

 

Anyway, last time I read this (Eugene Woodbury's fan translation, at least), I gave it 4 stars. Prior to that, I gave it 3.5. For this particular reading, I'd say 4 stars again, although the wording in the 3.5-star review I wrote back in 2014 still works for me.

I totally forgot that there was a bit in this book where Joyu actually speaks to Yoko. Yay! I wish Keiki's sirei had a larger part in the series. Taiki's book is pretty much the only one where the sirei have a larger speaking role.

I like Rakushun so much. Such a nice little rattie boy.
