Re: SAHM Book Club- FINAL Check In
Hi everyone!
I'm going to be posting this "final" check in a few times so I get everyone's last minute updates and reads
Good luck making your goal!
Next week I'll post 2012 info.
Certified Veterinary Technician / SAHM
It's very informal. Once a week I post the check in. You can decide how many books to your goal and you just let me know how you're doing in terms of meeting that goal. I will update and post the next week. Like I said, I'll be looking for 2012 goals next week at some point so feel free to join in.
Gatogrrl 21/30 CR: Last Night at the Lobster LBR: Wish You Were Here
I didn't get to my goal due to a summer spent working out and a fall spent with "morning" sickness. But I did read 4 books by Stewart O'Nan to finish out the year, all of them good. I've found a new favorite author!
I met my goal! Yay! Finished book 30 today, it's neither one of the books I was currently reading either lol.
I finished MOBBED by Carol Higgins Clark. 30/30!
So I guess I'll have to start the new year with 2 unfinished books.... oh well. Now I need to decide my new goal.
I got a Kindle for (early) Christmas, and all of a sudden I started reading like crazy! Which means I'm up to
12/15
I never thought I would like a Kindle so much, but it's so much easier to read with baby when I don't have to hold the book open. Or hold it at all.
CR: A Dance with Dragons and The Name of the Wind
LBR: A Feast for Crows, Unicorn Bait, Alternate Rialto, the Bride Price, The After Cilmeri series (Daughter of Time, Footsteps in Time, Prince of Time), The Fox, Getting Sassy
Feast for Crows was bloody and depressing and just as good as I thought it would be. I'm so glad that I finally get to read the next one.
Unicorn Bait was light, fairly shallow, but fun enough that I didn't feel like I wasted my time.
The Bride Price, however, was so so bad that I wish I hadn't ever started it. The plot had so many holes and loose ends that I wanted to rewrite it myself. Alternate Rialto turned out to be a cheesy romance but it was nowhere near as bad as the previous book.
The After Cilmeri series was a bit weak in sections (mostly plot related) but overall, I really enjoyed it. I really liked getting a feel for 13th century Wales, and I like the different viewpoints that told the story.
The Fox was fantastic! It was set in Scotland in both the first century A.D. and the present day. The characters were interesting and believable and had a good amount of depth. The story was beautiful, thorough, and it tied up very well.
Getting Sassy was also extremely enjoyable. I was pretty light, but also intriguing. The characters were so fun. I've been trying to get everyone I know to read it.
I finished Wishin' and Hopin'. I also read Bridget Jones's Diary -- which was my 60th book, so I met my goal.
Happy New Year everyone!
I have only read House Rules, but I felt the same way about the ending! It was very unsatisfying
House Rules was my LBR and I am CR The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Thanks for the rec, English, I am really enjoying it! Next up is Her Fearful Symmetry
