I'm currently reading "Undead and Uneasy" by MaryJanice Davidson. |
Last week I read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, which was about a school shooting. That topic scares me a little, since I'm a high school teacher, but it was a good novel. Then I read sort of a "young adult" book called Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It's a vampire love story, and it's a series that's become really popular, but I hated it. Ugh.
Right now I'm reading that Eckhart Tolle book, A New Earth, and a book about breastfeeding. I'm about to start Philippa Gregory's The Boleyn Inheritance. I just wish Gregory wouldn't make all those grammatical errors, like the comma splices she has all over the place. I can overlook it for a good story, I guess... |
Just finished rereading Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera and I'm almost done with Susan Kay's Phantom - Leroux is still the best and will always be cannon but Kay has an interesting take on the story - especialy as a prequel. Her version of Erik's past is wonderfuly vivid and immaginative - but once she gets into the teritory of the original novel it starts to read like bad phan-fiction.
Once I finish Kay I need to get back to Henry and Clara (can't remember the author). I misplaced it for a bit and now I want to get back into it. This great historical novel about the couple that was with the Lincolns on April 15 (14?) 1865 at Ford's theatre. I'm also picking my way through A Different Plain, it's a book of short fiction written by Nebraska authors put out by the University Press and edited by Ladette Randolph (my MIL) - I'm really enjoying it so far. Ladette has impecible taste - this is an older book that she worked on. I finished The Big Empty a few weeks ago, which is the newer one of this series, it's a collection of short non-fiction from Nebraska writers. And before that was This is Not the Tropics, which is her writing, again short stories. And my hubby and I are reading Enslaved By Ducks aloud on car trips - I read it about a year ago but it is SOOOO funny! |
