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.)
Keep on reading...

I forgot to add: While I was at the library, I asked how long I might be waiting for "The Help"....300 on the list...This one I WILL be purchasing!
ReplyDeleteJinks!!! I was just getting on here to tell you I am reading The Help right now!!! It's really good. Although, it does make me want to hit white people, but it's great.
ReplyDeleteI read The Reliable Wife and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I would't recommend the Reliable Wife. It was kind of wierd and very sexual. I felt myself thinking.."ok, yes..we get it..you want her bad" I didn't really enjoy the story line either. It had it's moments, but there are better books out there. I really liked the GLPPPS. (let's call it that..) It was clever and interesting. It took me a minute to get used to the fact that the whole thing would be letters, but after that I really enjoyed it. It also inspired me to be a better letter writer...or at least email writer. I loved how descriptive all their letters were. It reminded me how far we've fallen from the written word. Anyway...there you have a small review from me.:-)
OK Missy-
ReplyDeleteYou need to come visit me! I can send you home with a stack of books, including The Help. I don't have a waiting list of 300! And I am not any farther than the Draper Library!!
Really- come see me!
