Booklog 2008: Catch-Up Post the Second
Apr. 23rd, 2008 10:37 am( 11. Bachelor Brothers’ Bed & Breakfast — Bill Richardson ) There’s a sequel, too, which I may get to eventually.
( 12. Golden Days — Carolyn See ) Until I hit the ending, I was planning to give my copy of this book away, but now I’m keeping it because I know I’ll want to revisit the final fourth in the future. I doubt I’ll ever read the beginning or middle again. I’m not sure what this says about the book or about me.
( 13. A Complicated Kindness — Miriam Toews ) I would have probably been better off just rereading Franny and Zooey or some other Salinger (whom Toews does reference) and calling it quits.
( 14. Your Planet or Mine? — Susan Grant ) I’m officially bored now. And when I’m not bored, I’m still pissed off about that stupid Arnold Schwarzenegger thing.
( 15. 52: Vol. 1 — Geoff Johns, et. al. ) I’ve never really read much DC (Make mine Marvel! Or, well, Vertigo), so it lacked resonance for me.
( 16. Poison Study — Maria V. Snyder ) Maybe I was just in an unusually good mood when I read this, but I had a great time with it and gobbled it up.
( 17. The Changeover — Margaret Mahy ) It’s a really good book. It just didn’t, for whatever reason, wow me. I think this is more a case of me being capricious than anything else.
( 18. Now and Forever — Ray Bradbury ) Overall: eh. However, I got it from the library and read it in its entirety in the course of one day’s commute, so…
( 19. The Kindness of Strangers — Mike McIntyre ) It’s a fascinating look at many of America’s less-seen faces.
( 20. The Harrowing — Alexandra Sokoloff ) other that the protagonist’s sex, this book doesn’t really have much to distinguish it from any other scary story.
Total Reviews: 20/66
