• Jun. 1, 2006 - What I Read in May

Hi Ladies!

 

I did pretty good in May with my reading.  Of course I have been staying up super late!  That is never good.  So, I'm trying hard to turn that around!

 

The first book I read last month was:

 

Katherine - by Anya Seton.  I give this one 5 stars!  I loved it. 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/155652532X/qid=1149199314/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-4509173-5728040?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

 

After Katherine, I read:

The Unforgiven, by Patricia Macdonald.  This was a great mystery/horror book.  I generally don't read them, but this one is really a fast read.  4 stars.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743423658/qid=1149199445/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-4509173-5728040?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

 

Then, I read Bombshell by Linda Curnyn.  Only 3 stars.  A chic lit book without very much depth to the main character or storyline. 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0373250576/qid=1149199494/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-4509173-5728040?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

 

Next, I finally read a book I've been dying to read:  The Kite Runner by Khaled Housseni.  5 stars!  Touching book written in wonderful prose.  It is sad, but also hopeful.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1594480001/qid=1149199581/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-4509173-5728040?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

 

After that, I read Abigail's Story from the Women of the Bible series.  This was an ok read.  A quick read but I'm not sure it is as good as the reviews on Amazon say it is!  3 stars from me.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/045121479X/qid=1149199704/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-4509173-5728040?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

 

  I then started reading "The Bridges of Madison County" -- but decided I wasn't in the mood for a sad romance, so I chucked it in favor of book 6 in the Janet Oke Love Comes Softly series:  Love's Unfolding Dream.  I love all of these books, whether they are considered "twaddle" or not!

Now I am on to my Yahoo book club's choice for the month of June "The Bone Vault"  by Linda Fairstein.  I'll be starting this one tonight!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743223543/ref=pd_kar_gw_2/002-4509173-5728040?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155

 

Happy reading everyone!
