Only 34 to Go

Here are the next four books I read.

Tainted.  I’m really beginning to wonder about these Reader’s Choice books from my local library.  This book was full of horrible language and wasn’t a very good story at all.  It took me a long time to read because I wasn’t interested in reading it.  I had to finish it because that’s just my personality.  Anyhow, don’t bother or waste or your time with reading this book.

A Painted House.  I’ve heard rumors this story is based on Grisham’s childhood.  Well, some stories are better left untold.  After my sister-in-law, Nedra, told me this wasn’t supposed to be one of his usual stories I thought I would like it better, but I didn’t.  I was bored and learned far more about picking cotton than I ever wanted to.  Of people I’ve talked to, they either love it or hate it, so I’ll let you decide.

The Chamber.  This book started off strong, perhaps because I had just read ‘A Painted House’ and then the book just ended up disappointing me.  It just dragged on and probably could have been 200 pages shorter.  I’m hoping the next book I read is a good one because I have not enjoyed the last three.

Taken by Storm.  This was really easy reading and a very cute, very funny story.  It was just what I needed after the last few books I read.  The book is geared toward a younger age group than myself and I think it is great reading.  I must say though, the guy and girl on the cover are nothing how I pictured the main characters, but that’s just me.

  1. Ahh Taken by Storm--I LOVED that book and Unbroken Connection, the second book in the series. However, don't waste your time with the third--it's awful. I do love Michael, though. And you're absolutely right--the picture on the cover does NOTHING for the characters in my head. Mine are always better. :)

  2. These authors are my favorites for easy, quick, reads. These go well with me on the treadmill and to calm myself a few minutes before sleeping at night...Clair Poulson, Anita Stansfield, Jenni Hanson, sandra grey, betsy brannon green...there are tons more too. check out my bookshelf on Shelfari.com
