Weeks Reads Technically, I'm covering two weeks here as I was on vacation in not-so-sunny Florida from the 9th to the 15th. The lack of sun boded well for reading though, and Man Oh Lordy did I have some winners:
Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
Vampire Mountain by Darren Shan
Trials of Death by Darren Shan
The Vampire Prince by Darren Shan
Hunters of Dusk by Darren Shan
Gay Rebel of the Harlem Renaissance reviewed and homosexuality within the Harlem Renaissance discussed.
I read Auntie Mame a while back and watched the film version recently to see how a gin-chugging, cigarette smoking, intellectual Mary Poppins is brought to the big screen.
Currently Reading
I searched Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million for The Ask and The Answer, the second book in Patrick Ness's series while in Florida. I was craving to continue the story begun in The Knife of Never Letting Go. I didn't manage to find it until just before I left, and reading the first chapter was a huge relief after the cliffhanger of Book 1. Now, I'm worried about finishing this one as I'm pretty sure book 3 is a long way off!
Non-Review Posts
Do you have to appreciate the classics regardless of whether or not you enjoyed the book?
Government control, GPS tracking, mind reading paranoia. And one silly post title.
Has any author made you "feel the world"?
You know you love it. When is the last time you saw the movie French Kiss?Would you name condoms after a man who had 160 children?
What do Happy Feet, House Bunny, The Beach, and Live Free or Die Hard have in common? Well probably nothing except that I did a quick review of each one.
I finally put together my Blog Improvement Project To-Do List. Have you started yours?
