Booklog of a Wimpy Kid

Faced with the choice between writing some booklog and doing dishes, I chose booklog.

( 51. An Angel For Emily — Jude Deveraux )

From now on, it will simply be known as The Book I Threw at a Wall.

---

( 52. The Devil and Sherlock Holmes — David Grann )

If you’re obsessed with obsession (as I am), you will easily become enthralled by this book.

---

( 53. The Talisman Ring — Georgette Heyer )

it will probably be a while before I reach for another one of her books.

---

( 54. Diary of a Wimpy Kid — Jeff Kinney )

what’s the point of fiction—especially children’s fiction—if we can’t aspire to something better?

---

( 55. Written Lives — Javier Marías )

all these angsty writers were right: life is hard.

---

( 56. Hex Hall — Rachel Hawkins )

Hawkins has that magic ingredient that so many of her fellow authors lack; because of this I will, for once, be waiting eagerly for the sequel.

---

( 57. I Know I Am, But What Are You? — Samantha Bee )

Bee costumes are only the beginning.

---

( 58. The Hole We're In — Gabrielle Zevin )

This book deserves more attention than it appears to be getting.

---

( 59. Tokyo Vice — Jake Adelstein )

This is both a solid, interesting true crime book, and a solid, interesting book about Japan.

---

( 60. Voyage Along the Horizon — Javier Marías )

Marías’ work tends to be more about the journey and less about the destination.
