Another CBR gift that turned out to be a great pick

December 26, 2016 by bonnie 1 Comment

Yay! I’m finally getting around to reading those CBR Exchange books that I’ve lovingly admired but not cracked open on my shelf. And books are meant to be read. So, A Prayer for Owen Meany comes to me courtesy of Malin from CBR7’s Book Exchange. It’s a long read and uneven in parts, but very much worthwhile in the end. Consider this a journey that you must be willing to embark upon for the payoff to arrive. I dig into the reasons why in my full review, but don’t be discouraged–do give this book a read!

    I’m so glad you liked it! I absolutely adore this book (I try to never give CBR presents that I don’t also love myself) and I was an absolute mess of tears the first time I finished reading it. I’ve gifted it to so many people, and I’m glad that it always seems to go down well.
