“What a thing to go
through life without books.” Truth
What is it about summer? You think there is nothing to do but be hot and thus lounge
by the pool and read, right? That
is what I thought I was in store for this summer, but no… I had to move, and
visit family, and socialize. Not
much reading going on, and so I have managed to finish a whooping six books
this summer. Of course, it doesn’t
help that the last two were kind of stinkers and so I was left wanting to do
anything other than reading.
21.13 Etiquette & Espionage
Great Cover! Great Title! Great Blurb! Not such a great book.
This YA should have sucked me in and lasted about two days -
a perfect summer read – instead it became a total chore for two weeks. It reminded me of summer reading for
school, at times honestly doing nothing was more entertaining than reading some
of that dredge. The main character
is interesting and the school seems wonderful but I felt like I should have
cared much more about it all by the end of book one. We will just have to see how the series progresses.
20.13 Ratlines
This was a dude book disguised as historical fiction. There was far too little history, and
far too many fisticuffs and too much torture and killing. Blah. Not good.
As I said, it was a sad summer reading season, but right now
I am going to pick up a book based on the Luther series, and on September 3rd
BBC will start showing Series Three.
So summer be damned! Bring on fall, Luther, and, let’s not forget,
Alice. Yippee!!!
