whatcha readin'? {book 25 :: goal 24}
I am not going to lie.
I did not expect to like this book.
I was totally prepared to be fully
underwhelmed…
to push my way through it,
to force myself to finish it through gritted teeth
and bitter irritation.
I was
totally wrong.
It was soooooooo good.
Seriously, that many o’s…
soooooooooo good.
The writing, the words…
the way it made me tear up unexpectedly…
the crush I had on Benji…
and also how the author so skillfully
shifted my anger at different characters
and then made it melt away
without me even realizing it.
It made me think a little of one of my
favorite movies…Mystery, Alaska…
again….just the small town hocky fever idea…
but…it made me want to watch it again.
Anyway….read Beartown.
I hear there’s a sequel (*clapping hands excitedly!)
I also have “A Man Called Ove” but it’s still on the “To Be Read” pile…

whatcha readin'? {books 22, 23 and 24::goal 24}
First off,
can I just say...
YAY ME!!!
I have actually met (and passed) my goal of 24 books
for this year!
Secondly...
I love Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman.
I used to read A LOT of Dragonlance books
which are generally by different authors
but the series that were done by Weis & Hickman
were always my favorite.
Vikings and dragons and magic...
old gods, mythology,
good vs evil...
a little bit of everything that gets
a geeky heart racing.
I know that there is a 4th book in this series
but I haven't read it yet...
but I did hear that the series may not get finished
so that makes me sad.
