This week, what I'm reading is a Big Deal. First...
I have my initial thoughts on The Giver written, but I need to refine it and clarify the parts I didn't like vs. the parts I did like and see where the rating levels out. It's turned into a harder post than I anticipated.
I finished A Great And Terrible Beauty, which I have conflicting feelings over, too. So... look for those two reviews this week.
Currently:
I'm bogging down on Untraceable, so I'm removing it from my "currently reading" spot. Three times I've been set up for something exciting and it was nothing and then "the only sound" was followed by multiple sounds... and... I'm just gonna wait a bit. I love the sneaking around in the woods thing, but I am already tired of the attitude. Please... if you've read this book and it gets GREAT after page 50, let me know!!!! (Don't you hate not finishing a book?!)I picked up some books at the library and I can't stop peaking into Firelight, so I just dived in... Fast-paced writing, beautiful dragons changing into human form. I am in love with flying!!! Thank you to Forever Lost in Books for recommending this book last Wednesday!!! :-D
Musing Mondays is hosted by Should Be Reading...
(Happy Family Day, to anyone celebrating!)This week's musing asks... What is the last book that you learned something from? What book was it, and what did it teach you?
You know... I'm going to say Peru in Images. I'll review it right away, so I don't want to say too much, but I had no idea how diverse Peru is. When I think of the country, I compare it to my State of Oregon, which is unfair... to Oregon, anyway, 'cause Peru contains so many different climates and cultures. This book really... well, nevermind. I'll tell ya tomorrow, maybe.
Memorable Monday is hosted by Escape in a Book
Today I give you a quote from A Great and Terrible Beauty, which I'll review on Thursday-ish...
"But forgiveness... I'll hold on to that fragile slice of hope and keep it close, remembering that in each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice."This book is flows like deep water, pulling truth out and interweaving it with creative story Thx to the ladies at Escape in a Book for starting this new Meme where we share our favorite quotes.
To share where you're at in your book randomly, answer the fun question for the Random Acts of Kindness Giveaway which only goes thru the 21st. I list all my Giveaways on the top of my left side panel.
