I'm A Book Shark

Mickey is the blogger behind I’m A Book Shark. She really wishes there was a better explanation for why she’s a book shark. A new twitter name was needed, and it had to be about her favorite hobby: reading! For whatever reason, sharks also came to mind, and a book shark was born. Besides reading, Mickey is a natural reddish-headed, late-twenties, tattooed, entertainment-of-all-kinds lover, wife of husband, mother of reptiles (and a cat and two puppies, all spoiled), student, employee, boss, and (mostly) raw vegan. Oh yeah, and she likes to blog.

See full review here!I received this through Audiobook Jukebox Solid Gold Reviewer Program. Here is my honest review:
Wow, what a sad book. Remembering Laughter is a good title for this, because without remembering the fun times in this novel, it's hard to get through. I don't mean that this is a bad novella, because it's not. It's written extremely well (minus the use of a couple words too many times), and it's an interesting view of a pretty messed up family. But it's very depressing. It's a sad thing to think about.
This family suffered from a choice that didn’t seem well thought out. I also felt like it almost came out of nowhere. The story is short, so a lot of explanation wasn’t possible, but I thought there was something going on with the other man in Elspeth’s life. But when Margaret discourages it, it backfires in her face. What happens after that is the truly sad part. This is an older story, so I understand the choices, but they’re hard and confused.
The narration was something I was surprised with. I’m not the biggest Cassandra Campbell fan, but this was definitely one of her better performances. I like when she does adult narration better than young adult. I enjoyed her voices in this short novella.
