Spoiler Alert: Not My Best Blog Entry Ahead


Between Thanksgiving and New Years, Bookworm & Husband were in the car enough to finish Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy in audiobook form.  We got this from the library, and Andrew hated it.  I thought it was somewhat better than sitting in complete silence, which we occasionally chose over the book.  We also used these breaks to discuss the merits of Chik-fil-a versus Burger King.  If Andrew were to write a blog, this could be a potential topic.  Other ideas include: How To Grow The Most Expensive Tomato Possible and High School Relay Races in Western Pennsylvania ’95-’99.

Binchy is a girly author, but in my defense I gave Andrew three choices from the library and he picked this one.  Neither of us knew that the book would be a collection of a million (rough guesstimate) short stories and characters that barely connected to each other.  This was particularly hard to follow since we listened to the book over a period of five weeks. 

I still like Maeve Binchy, but this was not her best work.  And for the record, I pick the Chik-fil-a chicken strips any day of the week.  Well, except Sundays.
