November Book #6

Book: The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

Relying on pictures as much as words, this was a beautiful book that I enjoyed. It was an extremely quick read.

Book: The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

I don't usually like sci-fi, but this was so excellently written I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Book: The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett

Entertaining and interesting; an unexpected retelling of The Pied Piper. Lots of interesting information about rats.

Very good! There were parts in the middle that lagged, but other than that I loved it.

November Book #1

Book: Strange Devices of the Sun and Moon by Lisa Goldstein

I always hate it when they play up the (supposed) gayness of people I'm in love with, in this case Christopher Marlowe. I haven't found anything worth reading for a while so the fact I finished it is a compliment.
