Books My Father Read

I am addicted to reading. This is because 1) my dad died and I inherited his books, 2) my husband is a writer and he is really well-read, and he has tons of books in the house as well, 3) I discovered that I could get ebooks and audiobooks from my library online!

Runaway by Alice Munro

Runaway by Alice Munro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great writing, but I didn't find myself passionately loving any of these short stories the way I sometimes love stories.
