Slow going

on the reading lately, but I have gotten a couple in:

Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
My literature professor Aunt sent me this one and it was good! It took me a few days to really get into it, but now I am soooooo ready for books 2 and 3. I can't even really explain exactly what it is about - a living, breathing prison that has gone out of control. Definitely worth picking up at the bookstore or library!

Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
I listened to this one on Playaway and did NOT enjoy the reader. I am currently working on the nest book in this series, but I keep hearing the reader from the audiobook in my head and it is sort of ruining book 3...

Losing track

I have kind of lost track of what I have been reading, but here is what I can remember!

Flyte by Angie Sage
This was the second in the Septimus Heap series. Definitely a more fun, lighter read than the last couple of books I read!

When You Reach Me By Rebecca Stead
Another YA book that was pretty good. Sort of a Time Travelers Wife for kids concept...

Booth's Sister by Jane Singer
Free Kindle download. Not great, but interesting. Never thought about John Wilkes Booth's sister but might have to read her book now.

Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly.
Free Harlequin Kindle download. Gotta have some mindless, sexy reading every now and then!

To Sleep With the Angels:The Story of a Fire by David Cowan
Dad gave me this book - he remembered this fire happening in Chicago when he was young. A truly heartbreaking story...95 students and nuns killed in a school fire. The tragedy fueled a change in fire safety laws all over the world.
