But Wimpy Kid is awesome in its own right. Click here to read my full review on the FitG blog, if you're interested.
I have a few other FitG books on deck to read, thanks to my local public library. I love you, library!
Here they are:
 |
| Vampire Academy isn't my usual reading fare, but with FitG, I'm trying to read out of the box. For me, "the box" doesn't include a lot of popular series like this one (or vampire novels, for that matter). I'm already more than halfway through and I have to say, I am enjoying it so far. It's entertaining and I'm learning a lot about plotting and heightening tension. |
 |
| I don't know much about The Brother Torres, but I think I found it on an American Library Association list and most of those books are amazing. So, I'm excited. |
 |
| I've heard great things about Jellicoe Road, so I'm super excited to read it. |
What's on your reading list this week?
I'm reading "Twenties Girl" by Sophie Kinsella, recommended to me by a friend after I posted a message about how heavy "Possessing the Secret of Joy" by Alice Walker. Both books, and I can see how important it is to have heavy and lighter fare!
ReplyDeleteFor MG, I read Behemoth recently, and enjoyed it. Great pacing. Thanks, Amy! -Kelly
Ohhhhhh my gosh, I LOVED Jellicoe Road so much. When I worked at the library they would have staff recommendations on the website and rotated to all the different branches each month. That was my choice when it was Prosser's turn :) Let me know what you think!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're plowing through 'em, Amy! I still have to read DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. I've been reading some nonfiction about Queen Victoria lately (plus some older Neal Shusterman books), and I have BEHEMOTH waiting for me at the library. So many books, so little time:)
ReplyDeleteKrista, Yes, so many books, so little time. Absolutely! You'll breeze through Wimpy Kid. It's such a fast, fun read. :)Oh, and I read your post on We Two. The book sounded cool, but it reminded me even more that I wanted to see that movie about the young Victoria.
ReplyDeleteAli - Oh good! If you liked it, I know I'll like it.
Kelly - Yes, we definitely need both. I'll have to check out BEHEMOTH. That sounds interesting....
Thanks for the comments!
Amy
I haven't read any of those. I do own the Wimpy kid books! My kids love them!! Perhaps I should read them too!
ReplyDeleteThe only one I've read is Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and it was great. Gotta love the cheese touch ;)
ReplyDeleteI've got the first Vampire Academy book in my tbr pile. I LOVE the wimpy kid books. Gret job on the review!
ReplyDeleteT. Anne - Just read the first one for fun. It's really short and won't take up much time. Tell me what you think. :)
ReplyDeleteMyrna - I know! Poor Rowley. Blaagghh!!
Sharon - I'll be interested in what you think of Vampire Academy. :) I've found I'm reading during the day when I don't usually read. (dangerous) Usually I read just before I go to bed and that's it.
Amy
Yes: 'So many books and so little time'. I totally agree. I snatch a little reading time before bed :) I'm presently reading 'Little Women' for like the 14 billionth time.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Sold because this really cool blogger recommended it. : )
