Livres lus: Novembre

 I'm pretty proud to say that I've kept up with my New Year's resolution to read one book a month with only one month to go! Yay me. This is probably one of the only things that I've kept up with but it's just about that time to start thinking of new goals for the new year... too early? sorry.

This month I picked up A Taxonomy of Barnacles. It's a quirky, witty, fun read that I very much enjoyed. If you look into it online, you'll get some mixed reviews, particularly because the story will sort of remind you of The Royal Tenenbaums. Ok, basically, if Royal had all daughters, this is what you'd get.

The story revolves around six sisters, all with names starting with the letter B, which takes some getting used to, living on the Upper East Side with their father Barry Barnacle, his second wife, Bunny, and next door to twins, Billy and Blaine Finch whom are in process of courting the two older sisters. Barry Barnacle decides to get his daughters to compete on how to immortalize the Barnacle name in exchange to being the sole beneficiary to his estate. We follow the Barnacle girls through their challenges, quirks, secret pregnancies, escapes from the apartment..etc... This book isn't for everyone as you can get a little lost with all of the character development but once I got through all of that, I really enjoyed it!

Now if you'll excuse me, I've been up for about 20 hours now and can barely keep my eyes open! Yikes!
