Finished #42

I finished the 3rd Pretty Little Liars book this morning.  I like that the book is different from the tv series.  It's similar, but the characters aren't doing things exactly as in the show and there are some new surprises.  I just got 4 and 5 from the library and hope to read them this weekend.  Trying hard to get to the 50 book goal.

Finished #41

I finished Flawless, the 2nd book in the Pretty Little Liars series.  I'm really addicted to this tv show (but only when I'm folding laundry).  The 1st book was exactly the same as the 1st episode, except some of the character descriptions were different.  I thought the 2nd book would stay close to the tv show, but things are going differently.  I can't decide if I like the books or show better right now.  Guess I'll just try one more... It's also maybe helping me catch up to my 50 book goal.

Finished #40

I just finished "Living Dead in Dallas" the 2nd Sookie Stackhouse book.  I guess I just feel this series is kind of blah.  I don't really see what the draw to it is.  I'm really over the Twilight series and haven't been able to get into any other vampire series.  Maybe vampires just aren't the thing for me.

Finished #39: An Ocean in Iowa

I finished An Ocean in Iowa by Peter Hedges last night.  It was about a 7yr boy named Scotty Ocean.  The story followed his life from his 7th to 8th birthday with lots of life changes around the way.  Now that I finished the book, I understand why Mason said it was a little inappropriate.  It was a great story, but not the best choice for a 10 year old boy.  :)

Up next:  I just started the 2nd Sookie Stackhouse book.

Finished #38: Dovekeepers

Wow!  It's been awhile.  I finally finished The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman that I started over a month ago when I was in Las Vegas.  I liked this book, but things just got a little crazy by adding an extra kid and going back to work full time.  I was mostly reading right before bed and falling asleep after a few pages.
I really liked how this book tied together the lives of 3 different woman to make retell one story.  I do think that I missed lots of important information from falling asleep, so I would like to re read this book some day.  I just know that I both loved and hated these women all at the same time.  It was mostly a story of survival, not for yourself, but for people you love.  I think we can all learn a lot from the "Witch of Moab".

Up next:  An Ocean in Iowa by Peter Hedges--- I let Mason read this book and he told me it was not very appropriate for kids.  Hope there wasn't anything too bad in it.
