Book #9: Hearts in Atlantis, Stephen King

Huh. This was really interesting but the end totally confused me. I think it was connected to the dark tower/gunslinger series, which I started reading but lost one of the books and never found the others. Engaging, though. 672 pages.

Book #8: River God, Wilbur Smith

This was interesting because I’d read Warlock a year or so ago – and this covers a piece of the life of the same character, much earlier in his career. It makes me want to track down any in-between books and figure out how he got from here to there.   … Read More ›

Book #7: The Glass Lake, Maeve Binchy

Interesting book.. Binchy writes in a manner which doesn’t really allow you to walk away from it. Short bursts like cutscenes from various viewpoints keep dragging you back. The story itself was something I hadn’t seen before, and was pretty OK. 692 pages

Re-Reads #s 1-6: Harry Potter #s 1-6

I have been SLACK here. Mostly because I wanted to keep track of the page numbers and I read these six books in a row and now they’re strewn about the house and I haven’t gathered them up yet. Anyway. Harry Potter, one to six, ploughed through in a week or … Read More ›

Book #6: Magic for Marigold, by L.M.Montgomery

Huh, I thought I’d had all my LMM books already, but two more showed up in a late shipment. Me likey! Soft and sweet and full of nature-loving, fairy joy, just like most of her books. Very pleasant. LMM has a way of creating wee characteristics for people you only … Read More ›

Book #5: Slow Emergencies, by Nancy Huston

I read the first half of this book in the waiting room before a doctor’s appointment last week; the previous book was a giant hardcover, and this fit nicely into my purse. It doesn’t, however, fit neatly into any category, or even into my psyche very well. It’s about passion, … Read More ›

Book #4: People of the Raven, by K. Gear and M. Gear

OH COME ON. I just wrote a HUGE review, and I hit publish and it didn’t work, AND there’s no draft? Gah. I HATED IT. Next! 496 pages.

Book #3: Kilmeny of the Orchard, by L.M. Montgomery

I think this is possibly the very last of LMM’s books (outside of short stories, which don’t interest me much) that I hadn’t read before. Very light and sweet, I believe it’s unique in my recollection of LMM’s work by starting out in earnest discussion of a man. It’s also … Read More ›

Book #2: Jane of Lantern Hill, by L.M. Montgomery

I thought I’d read all of LMM’s books, but a search through Indigo’s website with that lovely gift card has gleefully proved me wrong. It’s a positively delightful book. LMM of course has a grand pattern that often repeats throughout her heroines, but the details are always different, and it’s … Read More ›

Book #1: Christ the Lord Out of Egypt, by Anne Rice

And book number one is complete! I’ve got a whole boxful of new books from a carefully applied gift card I got from my brother and sister(in-law) for xmas. Now I need to decide what’s next! I finished this book before I knew it was over; there were 30 pages … Read More ›
