Whatcha Readin'?

[DisnyMama]

Just an add on to my previous post-if someone would be interested in trading a couple of books with me I would like to trade "The Real Deal" and "The Brethren" together. Just send me a PM.

Thanks.

Reading Vanity Fair right now.

I am a fiction fan, so I just started reading Dean Koontz "Forever Odd" which follows "Odd Thomas"

I read some light, easy reading books over the Christmas break such as The Notebook, Light on Snow, and now I am reading Mary, Mary. I usually read children's novels when school is in session. I read Hoot just before the break.

I am re-reading the James Herriot series All Creatures Great And Small as well as the biography of James Herriot (Alf Wight) written by his son.

Thank you Pollito, it's always nice to hear some good reviews! Did you have a favorite between the two?

I would have to say I liked "Confessions" better. "Mirror, Mirror" had historical figures in it, which made it seem to me a little farther off from the original fairy tale. Cinderella is also my favorite princess!

I just finished "S is For Silence" last night, and now I'm mystery-less.

Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. Love it.
Next comes the latest Jan Karon book, then I don't know.

Thank you Pollito! Historical figures... that's interesting! Well I suppose it doesn't really matter which we read first since we plan to read them both anyway. Maybe I'll just toss a coin!

Now I am reading Hide and Seek By James Patterson.

"Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China" by Jung Chang. It's an amazing book! Even though it's a true story, it's so incredible it reads like fiction!

I loved Odd Thomas but I was disappointed in Forever Odd. I would be interested to know what you think.

I also read A Million Little Pieces and found it to be interesting but I tend to believe that much of it was fiction rather than a true memoir. Some of what Frey describes in totally lacking in credibility.
