I am only into chapter 2, but already, I'm bored. And the F-bomb has been dropped once. I'm going to shelf this one for now. Maybe I'll try again later.

Rebel Angels
by Libba Bray
Finally...I'm done. Although it took me for-e-ver to finish. I liked it! I put the book down at 11:30 PM and Seriously considered starting the last of the trilogy right then. Alas, I didn't.
I would say that part of the reason I enjoyed the book was the time period it takes place - turn of the century (1900), England. Electricity is just being introduced. I love the "Society"-life books of that time. If you're not into being hopeful and trying to better yourself and others, please don't read this.
I just started "The Bonesetter's Daughter" - I'll keep you posted.

Still Going...
I'm still reading Rebel Angels. I'm almost half-way through. I'm liking the story, but I'm not completely captivated...and I can't put down my crochet hook. Stay with me...please!

a little vent...
I've been a little pre-occupied lately; however, I'm trying to read a book I've looked forward to getting into: Rebel Angels by Libba Bray. This is the next book after A Great and Terrible Beauty. I don't know if I'm just so busy doing other things that I can't get excited about sitting down to read, or if the book itself is not as interesting....any thoughts?
Also, if you have read a good book lately, leave a comment so I can add it to my "To Read" list. I'm always on the lookout for a good book.
One more thing.
If you are like me and can't get to the library to check out a book for free, but instead sees it at Target and spends $8-12 on it, consider this: I was at the Draper Library last week picking up a couple of books I had on hold there. While there, I saw the Books for Sale shelf near the doors. As I browsed, I noticed three books that I'd been wanting to read...$1.50...for ALL THREE!!! Can't beat that if you insist on owning them. Just keep that in mind next time you spend $20 on two books you have been wanting to read. (I know it's hard to get to the library, but even once a month could save a LOT of money.)
