Books I'm Reading: October
I realized this past month that I hate to read less than 12 books in one month. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, one week ago I counted how many books I had read so far. My stomach rolled in on itself. I had read seven books. I had one week . . . seven was unacceptable. Last week...I read two and listened to three. So...uh... I have some kind of standard. Not sure why 12 is the magic number. Without further ado, the books I read in October (and if you want to know what I've read in previous months, click here).
October:
121. Sweetly by J. Pearce: Good, but not as good as Sisters Red. IMHO.
122. Monstrumologist by R. Yancey: Beautiful writing. Real monsters. Creepy and graphic. I likey.
123. Darkfall by J. Hardy: The end to a great trilogy. Action. A bit of romance. Suspense. Another story that examines the true darkness of war…but not as dark as Hunger Games.
124. The Truth About Forever by. S. Dessen: This is tied for my favorite Dessen book. I ADORE Wes. One thing I really admire about Dessen is that she develops most of her characters. You can see them as real people.
125. The Sweet Far Thing by L. Bray (Audio): Ms Bray is such a wordsmith. I loved the ending to this trilogy, despite its length.
126. Fahrenheit 451 by R. Bradbury: Nope, I’d never read it. I liked it a lot. It really makes you think about the political correct movement and striving to ALWAYS be happy can lead us down an ugly path.
127. I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason by Kandel (BCP): It was an okay mystery. I would have liked it more if there would have been less “pointless filler” to the plot.
128. Story About A Girl by S. Zarr (Audio): A simple and poignant tale about adolescent sex, dating, family, and forgiveness.
129. Shut Out by K. Keplinger (audio): I was a bit nervous about this Sophomore book…but then I wasn’t. It is funny and steamy and thought-provoking.
130. Mr. Monster by D. Wells: Creepy and funny with a hint of young love. I cannot wait to read the next one. John Cleaver is such an intriguing character.
131. Sweethearts by S. Zarr (audio): I liked this story better than Story About A Girl. This made me truly understand why Ms. Zarr is revered. She wove the past and future together in a beautiful story about friendship, healing, and love.
132. Lola and the Boy Next Door by S. Perkins: *blissful sigh* I didn't race to the end like I did with Anna. (Please, note I read it in one day...just took a few more breaks.) I adored Lola's story. It was a lovely sophomore novel for Ms. Perkins.
