April Book #2

Book: Hush by Donna Jo Napoli

Longer and harder to get into than her previous works. Once I got sucked in I couldn't put it down.

April Book #1

Book: Word Painting by Rebecca McClanahan

Required reading for this semester.

Overly-flowery writing, but a lot of good advice.

Too many examples for my taste.

Book: London is the Best City in America by Laura Dave

Not at all what I expected.

Made me nostalgic.

Well-written.

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.

January Book #3

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: Coraline by Neil Gaiman

Very creepy and imaginative.
