Now I don't pretend to be a book critic...okay that's a lie...maybe sometimes I do. But I just wanted to share some of my most recent favorites and of course a couple I am really looking forward to reading!
I just finished reading Ella Enchanted again and as always it was delightful and I devoured it. If you've seen the movie with Anne Hathaway and you're thinking I don't need to read the book, you are dead wrong! The movie is kinda lame and although it shares some of same characters they are the same in name/species only, and follows but a sketch of the real story. If you haven't read it, or just haven't read it recently you should go and do it...um NOW!
Next is These is my Words. A touching story following a young women growing up in the Arizona Territories during the late 1800's. I warn ya, you'll probably cry, but it's a good cry, a cleansing cry.
Next is Mocking Jay, aka the FINAL book in the Hunger Games Trilogy!!! I just found out today that the book comes out the end of August and yep, I pre-ordered my copy. Usually I'm not a pre-order the book type, especially since I don't own the first 2 in the series. But I really don't want to wait on the library list or on the friend list to read this one! In fact I want to read it right NOW! The first two books in the series were amazing, I loved the plot, the character development, the scent (yeah it's weird) but I could really picture and smell the field.
The last one is a Artemus Fowl book that comes out on Aug 3rd. I have read all of the rest of them and I quite enjoyed them, especially once you get through the first book. Why was the first book hard? Well, the hero of the book isn't a hero at all. In fact, he is a criminal mastermind! So it was hard to get into at first because I kept thinking, this is a kid, what is doing?! But then...well I won't spoil it for you, you'll just have to read the series yourself. And I for one am glad there there is another one to add to my collection.
