Thirst No.2

by Christopher Pike

I read No. 1 and had to know what happened to Sita. Well, after three weeks of reading and wondering why I cared what happened next, I am finished. I think I am enjoying being done with the book more than I enjoyed the actual book. It's not that I didn't like it...it was just looooooong. It didn't really keep my attention - it was more of a project to check off my to-do list: read Thirst No. 2, Check!

If you read No. 1 and want to know how it all ends...read No. 2. If you read No. 1 and don't care how it all ends...don't bother. If you haven't read No. 1...well, check out my take on it and decide for yourself.

I'm not sure if I recommend this book or not...there is some profanity and innuendo...definitely NOT a book for teens or kids.

The Lovely Bones

by Alice Sebold

This is definitely a book for adults! I found it to be somewhat disturbing to begin. I was hoping for the fairy-tale ending...that's why I read juvenile and young adult books - they end happily. I was intrigued by the story and characters, but I can't say I loved it. I'm not even sure I enjoyed it, but I do feel satisfied.

This book dropped the f-bomb twice (ugh!) and had somewhat graphic descriptions of rape, murder, and implications of sex. Again - NOT FOR YOUNG ADULTS!

** - I don't recommend it to sensitive readers

Fablehaven: Secret of the Dragon Sanctuary

by Brandon Mull

Ok...this is book four of a five-book series...the BEST so far...I was totally caught off guard with this one! Definitely must read if you've read any of the others.

Kendra is quite the adventurer, as is Seth...good times!

I've just begun reading a book written for adults: The Lovely Bones - I'll let you know how it goes. So far, absolutely NOT a book for children!

OKAY. . .

Alright. I know you are reading this blog...but only because you've told me in person. No one has left a single comment...I was starting to think I was the only one reading it.

SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOoooooo - here's what to do:

If you have read any part of this blog, leave a comment to let me know what you think.
If you've read the book, let me know what you thought of it. If you haven't read the book, but are interested, tell me so. If you don't read, tell me that. Tell me one of your favorite books...so I can read it, too!

Thanks...keep your nose in a book and keep a book on the back of your toilet (best place to read!).

Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague

by Brandon Mull

I keep thinking somewhere along the line, I'm going to lose interest, or the book will get a little boring.
Nope! This one was darker than the previous two, but still clean and SO SO GOOD! The plot twists are fantastic. There's enough adventure to keep the story going, but also other little side stories to make you want to know what happens next. I know there are two more in the series...already started book 4...I'll keep you posted!

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star

by Brandon Mull

After reading book one, book two made the series even more addicting. Plots twists and exciting adventure made it hard to put the book down...the end made it impossible to NOT want to read the next book! Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
