Last night when I finished the Read-a-thon I had about 85 pages of A Great and Terrible Beauty left. I so wanted to finish it and at least start And Then There Were None, but I didn't :( Still had a lot of fun reading and got almost all the books I had listed read.
I finished The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding, I love Bridget Jones's Diary and read it every year, but I had only read the sequel once so I read this one again to get ready for #3, Mad About the Boy, which is coming out next week I think!
The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider was a cute YA book. It started out being a little too "fluffy" for me and I didn't think I was going to enjoy it, but it got better. As with most YA's I didn't like the ending. Is every teenage girl troubled these days?? Mine aren't!
The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle was my first ever Sherlock Holmes and I really enjoyed it. After watching both movies and the newer Sherlock series I could picture Holmes and Watson as I was reading, which I think made it more enjoyable. I definitely plan on reading more of these.
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray I'm not sure if this is a YA but I think it is. It's a good supernatural book about teenage girls at a boarding school. Reminds me a bit of The Craft movie, but set in the late 1800's. Good story, there are 2 more but I doubt I will take the time to read them.
Glad Arthur Conan Doyle didn't let you down. ;) I read Holmes as an early age and those stories have been perennial favorites for me. Love it when a reader finds them!
ReplyDeleteThe Craft set in the 1800s. That sounds like fun!
Thanks for joining us, Rebecca. I hope you enjoyed it. You got some good reading in. I have that Libba Bray series, but have yet to read them.
