It might not seem like it, but I have been reading all Summer long. While I don't remember every book I finished this Summer, there are some that stick out in my mind that I will share with you here.
The first is my all time favorite book ever: Little Women. I had started this book a while ago and finally finished it while camping in New York this summer. I don't know if I had only read abridged versions or if I had just forgotten some of the details of the book, but there definitely seemed to be some additions that I had never read before, which was a surprise bonus! I love reading a book I have read before and discovering new details and treats!
Another book/book series I read (and am currently finishing) is the Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson. I initially picked up Mistborn because the book club I am in was reading it. It is definitely not a book I would have picked up on my own. But that's the beauty of book clubs! They open your eyes to new books that you never would have read otherwise. I'm glad I purchased this book and decided to read it! It is AMAZING! The series follows Vin and her group of friends as they try to overthrow their ruler and establish a new government. Vin has "magic" powers that she discovers and perfects with the help of her mentor and friend Kelsier. I am currently reading the 3rd book in the series and have yet to be disappointed. The second book starts out a bit slow, but DON'T GIVE UP!
I have also read a few books on couponing as I am trying to get better at it. I won't bore you with those details, but if you are interested in learning more or want to know the books I read just let me know!
I am currently reading Now I See You by Nicole Kear for my book club. So far I am enjoying it, although there is some language. I'm not opposed to cursing, but sometimes I feel like it is a bit unnecessary. While I know that there are some things that can only be expressed with a well placed expletive, the extent to which she swears is starting to annoy me. I think that writers especially should be able to express themselves and their emotions more eloquently than using curse words every other line. I am willing to ignore it because this is a memoir and not a book written by a well established author. That is my only criticism so far.
I will be sure to blog about Now I See You and will do my best to stay up to date with my blogging from here on out. I've had a busy summer, which you can read about here.
Here's to recommitting myself to blogging!
Happy reading!
