Rated The Girl on the Train 8/10

Fast-reading, well-written, contemporary psychological murder mystery told from the perspectives of three young British women. Interesting, flawed characters - Hawkins did a particularly good job of integrating the experience of alcoholic blackouts. Would be great to read while on an extended train ride :-)

Rated The Potty Mouth at the Table 2/10

Potty Mouth is a collection of ~5 page humorous essays written by a jaded, germ-phobic woman with the sensibilities of the late Joan Rivers. This isn't a book I would typically pick up, but it was chosen by my book club. The book was somewhat amusing at times, but this was overshadowed by the author's very narrow view of what is acceptable on Planet Earth.
