Last book of the year

I made it to 65

My Soul to Lose by Rachel Vincent

Granted it was a really short prequel that I downloaded to my Kindle for free, but I figure I made up for it with the 900+ pages of Echo in the Bone I read a couple of months ago!

Almost done for the year

Here are the last books of the year...

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE being able to down load FREE books to my Kindle to read? It is awesome!

The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow by Joyce Magnin. This was another free download to my Kindle and I enjoyed it.

What the Dog Saw and other adventures by Malcolm Gladwell. This is a collection of some of his New Yorker articles. Definitely thought provoking, as usual!

I would like to get one more book read to get me to 65 books for the year. Not that it really matters, but that seems like a nice, round number!

This makes 61...

books read so far this year. I got through:

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver

Despite a kind of slow start for me, I really enjoyed it. I was bummed to miss the bookclub meeting where it was discussed, but since I wasn't quite done with it and was feeling really cruddy from whatever virus is incubating inside me, I think it was for the best!

Freaky fun

Peeps by Scott Westerfeld

was definitely a good one. Lots of talk of parasites...I can always get excited about a good parasite!

Good One

I finished a very interesting book about the Amish school shooting in Pennsylvania. This book really gave me a better understanding of Amish religion and lifestyle.\

Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy by Donald B. Kraybill, Steven M. Nolt, David L. Weaver-Zercher
