Three and a half heartbeats - Amanda Prowse
Go read all my reviews on Goodreads :)
I still have this mad idea that I want to start a book club. BUT there's the small matter of I don't like people telling me what to read and when, I don't read book club-by books and no-one I know reads the same books I do. :)
So my fantasy book club remains this nice idea in my head.
What was the most interesting book you read in February?
What do you plan to read this month?
Hmmm, I think my Feb reading highlight was the first book in a series - the Guardians of Summerfield. This month's reading hopefully includes something light and fluffy, mostly though I have a book to read for class.
ReplyDeletePs. Thanks for mentioning the wax highlighters, they're amazing.
My pleasure - I've been using those wax highlighters for two years and I have not looked back :)
DeleteI have been in a reading slump. I was looking for just ONE book to take me out of it. So about two weeks ago I read Anita Diamant's The Red Tent. I ADORED it! After that I got totally into reading again and I read Alice Sebold's Lovely Bones and right now I'm reading Nadia Hashimi's When the moon is low. I am LOVING it so far. I think that March is going to be a month of NF. I also started Crazy Love on Friday. Oh my hat. Sjoe. I am putting it down all the time to process. And I'm making notes! And then I have another NF lined up. One that I've been avoiding! Can you guess which one it is?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how that happened. I remember a stage late last year too where I read about 5 - 6 mediocre books in a row. I wanted to be transported and finally I got a book from the library and spent most of a Sat and Sun just reading. That ended my slump too!
DeleteI think your reading matter (the fiction ones) are typical bookclub stuff - what is nice about a book club is that you do get exposed to more books than what you would usually buy and actually takes the plunge easier into other genres. You know I have a post on how to start and work a bookclub?
ReplyDeleteMy recent favorite read was I am Pilgrim - a fantastic read
It's not the organising and how-to I'm confused by; it's how to have that connection ad still not be forced into different genres and stuff I don't like reading ;)
