christianreader | 2014 Quarter 4 Books

I didn't read any books in Quarter 3 because I had a baby. No time for books, apparently. So here is Quarter 4!

Insurgent by Veronica Roth
The second book in the Divergent trilogy. I enjoyed it a lot! I liked hearing more about the Amity faction through the events near the beginning of the book. 4/5

She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell
This is a Christian fiction book that takes place in the late 1890s. The main character is Clara, who is seventeen and just entering high society. Her father and aunt are pressuring her to marry a really wealthy heir, but of course, there is someone else who strikes her fancy instead. I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would! 3/5

Allegiant by Veronica Roth
The final book in the Divergent trilogy. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say that I thought it was good. 4/5

The Pub Across the Pond by Mary Carter
The main character is Carlene. She wins a raffle for a pub in Ireland, so she moves there and learns how to run a pub. Of course, the former owner is a dashing Irishman named Ronan, so she falls in love with him, even though he's emotionally distant. Pretty cliche throughout the entire story, including a stereotypical wise old bartender and the typical gamut of regular customers. But I still enjoyed the story, and the reader was good, having to switch from American to Irish accents all the time. 3/5
