I took a vacation to Valaprasio, Indiana to visit Mason's grandma and brought along a bunch of books because, even though I have revisions I should be working on, I really needed a bit of "input." I read Amy Thompson's THROUGH ALIENS EYES which I enjoyed tremendously, and I started Cherie Priest's FATHOM and sort of start-stopped Sharyn McCrumb's BIMBO'S OF THE DEATH SUN (it's become quite dated or it hasn't aged well, I think.)
Anyway, it got me wondering... what are YOU kids reading these days? Anything fun? Anything mind-blowing? Anything you want to recommend?
Funny enough, I asked this on my own blog yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything mind-blowing yet, but I just recently finished The Mortal Instruments trilogy (an urban fantasy by Cassandra Clare), and I'd recommend it for an entertaining read - though I rated it a 3 out of 5.
Maybe I'm just hard to please. ;)
Alas, I've gotten to that point where my old genre addiction has worn off, and I haven't quite found my new love. So, nothing terribly satisfying in the reading department. I think my last no sleep, can't eat series was Twilight.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to tackle A Clockwork Orange, but wow, that slang is tough.

Ooh, just finished Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book. Chills. Very good chills.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Marked by PC Cast and Kristin Cast and I'm thinking about starting into The Other Boleyn Girl. I'm 20 pages in but I'm not sure if I can stick with it at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Undead and Unpopular by Mary Janice Davidson.. Good read
