I'm not sure what it is, but every time I think I don't have anything to read about 3 things pop up on my library check out! I love it!! This week:
29. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
I finished this. I didn't NOT enjoy it, but it is so similar to the other YA books I've read recently. I might wait a bit before the next one. I honestly can't remember if I put the next book on my holds list.
30. Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
This book had been on my holds list for about 6 months. I had high hopes. It was...different. Not in a bad way but neither was it outstandingly awesome. There were parts where I couldn't put it down and parts that I wanted to skim through. I'd say give it a go, but be prepared as I thought it was a rather difficult read. Not the content, but rather how it was structured.
31. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K.Rowling
A screenplay adaptation. I've seen the movie (and am looking forward to the next), so it was nice to revisit this. Also nice to get some of the stuff that whizzed by in the movie. Fun stuff.
32. The Best Land Under Heaven by Michael Wallis
Not sure why this grabbed me, maybe because I live in Reno? We have one of the source material books; "The Donner Party Chronicles" by Frank Mullen Jr. who is/was a local newspaperman. We read the serialized version in our paper when we first moved here. Also, back when field trips were fun as well as educational, both our boys went up to Donner Memorial and had whole lessons on the Donner Party. The sensationalism aside, it was a fascinating look into the lives of a wagon train. Well worth the read (as is the source material!)
33. A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
I'm late to this "game" (see what I did there??), but have always wanted to read these. We don't have HBO so I've never seen the show. I'm only a few chapters in, but already enjoying this!
Hope your reading is enjoyable!
