February Book #1

Book: Firmin by Sam Savage

Not at all what I expected, but still good. I would not feel comfortable suggesting it to anyone else though because of some of the content.

Book: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

The first in a series about Greek gods in modern America. Very good.

Book: The Magic Three of Solatia by Jane Yolen

Beautifully written and enjoyable to read. She is, without a doubt, the Queen of Fairy Tales.

Book: What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire

Cute, but I expected more from the author of Wicked.

December Book #2

Book: In the Woods by Tana French

Read for school. Loved it until about page 250. Heavy-handed foreshadowing and an incredibly unsatisfying ending.

December Book #1

Book: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

Read for book club. Liked it at first. Inevitably sucked.

[Ironically enough I cannot recall every being in a book club. Ever.]
