Plodding Through April

I'm still reading Eye of the World, which is excellent. I just haven't had much free time and it is a slow read (or I'm a slow reader).

Magic to the Bone

I'm 2/3 of the way through Magic to the Bone but it is due today and I'm out of reading time. Pout. I'm going to drive to the library and return it if they can't figure out some way for me to renew it.  Phooey. I'll have to put it on my waiting list and wait for my turn again.

I wonder what book I'm on for my yearly reading goal anyway. I'm not going to make it because I'm probably 30 books behind. I really really like this book. I like the grittiness and the way Devon Monk writes.

Frost Bite and Shadow Kiss

One of the few plusses of the power being off for most of the business day is that I have plenty of time to read and write. So I finished reading Frost Bite. Great summer read. I enjoyed every minute. I've never seen the movie or the TV shows. I only saw one commercial for the TV show and it didn't seem anything like the books. So I ask you readers, do you like the TV show or the movie? Is it worth the time to watch it?

I've only read one page of Shadow Kiss so I'll have to write more about that later.

Frost Bite

It was nice to come back to Lucerne Valley and find more books waiting for me. I'm going to read book 2 of the Vampire Academy series: Frost Bite. I haven't started yet so I have nothing more to say about it, but at least it is on the list so I won't forget to keep track.

Thinking Woman's Guide

I'm currently reading The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic by Emily Croy Barker. I mentioned it on Twitter, and I'll be darned if the author didn't follow me back. How cool is that? Great read. I'm going to be sad when it's over. I also love the cover illustration. Drat it all, I wish I could find my camera so I could show you.

Blythwood

Yay! I finally finished Game of Thrones. It took me so long I don't think I'll be reading any more of that series.

I started reading Blythwood. The beginning is based on the tragic fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. I've seen the documentary for that and I'm glad they stuck to the facts in that portion of the book. The storyline also talks about archery and bells, two of my interests. I'm thoroughly enjoying the book so far.

Summer Sisters

For my next book I'm reading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. I haven't gotten into it deep enough to tell if I like it or not.

All my friends have been talking about Game of Thrones lately so I'm going to see if the library has them. I'll probably have to wait for them.

Fifth Book Finished

I've been so busy reading, I haven't had time to blog. I just finished my 5th book. It was called Wool. It is a Sci Fi story I just loved. Suspenseful and full of surprises and main characters that I fell in love with.

So far I've read Destined, then Hidden and Revealed, part of the Cast vampire series, and a book on Dye.  So the book I just finished was my fifth and I'm ahead of my book a week goal. It feels good.
