With 19 more days until my January 1 deadline, I have 12 more books to read. I have been plowing through the books like nobody's business since practicum ended. First I read The Wednesday Wars which was pretty decent, albeit very low level reading. Next I read The Watsons Go to Birmingham 1963 which was interesting. I do like 1960s history! Again, it was pretty low reading level so it was quick. Next up, The Book Thief which was AMAZING! At first I thought a book narrated by Death was odd but soon I really got into it! It took place during the Holocaust which from a historical standpoint was very interesting. All in all it was just an excellent, and highly recommended, book! Finally, I read The Lovely Bones which I did not like. Well, I liked it at the start. But as it went on I started to like it less and less. The concept of a dead narrator was interesting, but when we got into the body/spirit switching at the end I pretty much lost interest. Alas.
12 more. Can it be done?
I felt the same way about The Lovely Bones. Don't watch the movie...
ReplyDeleteWhen you read so many books in rapid succession, do you ever get the stories/characters confused like I sometimes do?
