Recent Reads

I have been reading quite a few books lately due to the amount of time that I am confined to a chair.

Caught up with the whole Mercy Thompson series that I mentioned before.

Read a book called Cinder. It’s book one of a series. So far, there’re three of them. I don’t know if the series has ended or not. On the waiting list of the library to get to the 2nd book. Cinder, for Cinderella. But the time is a post-4th War World time. And the story isn’t at all that Cinderella-y. To me, the writer simply used the title Cinder to attract the attention so ppl would read the book.. There’s also another reason for the word Cinder, as in the burnt coal or wood. But I think reason 1 is the bigger factor. Anyway, the story is interesting enough so far that I will continue.

Also read Fault in Our Stars. I didn’t really know what the story is about when I started. I just ran out of stuff to read at the time so I thought I would read it. I know it was a teens book. I have read other teens novels before like Twilight, Are you there God? It’s me Margaret, and some other fantasy ones. But man… this one is really… um… what’s the word… teenager-y. Almost couldn’t stand it.

Plowing through some of the Jack Reacher series right now. I had ‘read’ a few before in the form of audio books but now that I actually have time to ‘read’ the word version, I figured I can start from book 1. (That’s the problem with the library’s audio books. Sometimes, the audio version of the older of the series doesn’t exist, which is annoying. Luckily, one doesn’t really need to start from the beginning for the Jack Reacher series.  I wouldn’t say that I love the series but it’s a pretty good series to pass the time.
