Slow Boat to China

Ok, so I just started classes at SBCC, and my reading time has been greatly reduced. Thus, I have started Shadow of the Wind, but am only about half way through it.

So far, I really like it. At first it was a little hard to get into, but I'm like that with a lot of books, so that really doesn't say much. It's a really fun, kind of mysterious read, and the characters are greatly enjoyable. My favorite is Fermìn Romero de Torres. He's the perfect... sidekick, if that's what you'd call him, and you really never know what he's going to come up with next! I won't give it the official two-thumbs-up until I actually finish it, but I think it's safe to say that you should read it. ;)


*****Finally finished it... LOVED it... best word to describe it... SATISFYING. very. definitely read this one.*****

Books Books Books

Before June, I could count on one hand how many books I'd read (and actually finished) in the last ten years. However, in the last few months I have become increasingly addicted to reading. Therefore, this blog will furthermore be used to fuel that addiction. I would love any book suggestions and will be sharing a few of my thoughts on current reads. Since I'm already knee deep into this process, instead of reviewing all 24 of my recent indulgences I will simply list them... in the order they were finished.

1 - 9: Sookie Stackhouse Series
10: Julie and Julia
11: The Religion
12: Pillars of the Earth
13: Echo In The Darkness
14: A Touch Of Dead (Sookie Stackhouse Series)
15:The Fountainhead
16: The Reader
17: The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games Series #1)
18: The 19th Wife
19: Twilight
20: Catching Fire (The Hunger Games Series #2)
