A Tangle of Knots

I finished A Tangle of Knots by Lisa Graff yesterday.  It was a magical story of people with "talents" and how they use or abuse them.  In this story all the characters were connected from their past, but didn't realize it right away.  I like stories where you get to know characters by seeing how they are connected to others.  I really like Cady in this book.  There were some parts that I still found a little confusing, but overall it was a good story.  It reminded me a little bit of Like Water for Chocolate and Lemon Cake and the Infinite Sadness, just because Cady was able to feel emotions through her baking.

Another Challenge Over

This year I didn't make it to the 50 books for the challenge.  I read 44 books for the year, which is still a lot more than most people read.  I have been trying to decide how I want to log the books for the next year.  What I have decided is that I am going to write a little summary as I finish the books for 2013.  I am not going to start numbering them again until Jan 01, 2014.  That way I will go off a full calendar year and have my holidays at the end of the year so I have catch up time to read.  I'm not sure yet if I will pick a number for the challenge in 2014 or just log how many I read.  I'll keep thinking on that... :)

Finished #44 on Monday

I finished the 5th Pretty Little Liars book on Monday.  Although I didn't get to the 50 books this year, I did make it to 44.  Pretty good for starting a full time job and gaining a kid this year.  I think I am not going to set a 50 book challenge, and instead just continue to keep a log for all the books I read in a year.

Just started:  A Tangle of Knots by Lisa Graff

Finished #43

I finished Unbelievable, the 4th Pretty Little Liars book on Sunday.  I really thought I could make it to 50 books reading these.  Sadly, I haven't even had time to start the 5th book.  If I had time I could definitely read 7 more books like this to meet the challenge, but I've been to busy.  I'll just try to find time and read as much as I can before October 8th.  :)
