Holiday Reading

Although I am sad that my friend, Sheryl, will not be here during the month of December, I am looking forward to catching up on my reading.

Right now I am finishing up the Goose Girl "series" by Shannon Hale. The book is called River Secrets and so far it is great. It's interesting to see how she writes a main MALE character and to see how much more I like him (Razo) now that he is the main character and is gaining some dimension.

By the way, Enna Burning (the second book in the lineup) was fantastic. Enna is so different from Isi. It's a great read.

Megan's unfailing faith in Ian McEwan's Atonement has renewed my desire to finish it and I'm hoping I will have the time to discover just what Megan loves about it. Don't get me wrong, the writing is fantastic, it's just a little slow moving at times and my patience level is never really all that high.

I still also have The Lovely Bones, I Capture the Castle, and tons of other books I haven't even purchased yet to get through. I am hoping and wishing for a Barnes and Noble gift card for Christmas so I can add to my lovely bookshelf.

Have I told you about Philippa Gregory yet? She wrote "The Other Boleyn Girl". It's historical fiction about Anne Boleyn's sister. Anne Boleyn was one of Henry the 8th's wives. Anyway, it gets a little bit raunchy but it is so good and gives good insight to what it would have been like to be a part of Henry's court.
