The Book Thief

The Book ThiefThe Book Thief by Markus Zusak




7/6/11
Starting to read, but finding it very difficult to 'get into'. Not liking the style of writing. Only got to page 31. Will give it another shot.

7/7/11
Still trying to read, trying to like it, but still not there. So many people LOVE it, I must be missing something. Perhaps I will give it rest for a few days. pg 58

Winter Garden

Winter GardenWinter Garden by Kristin Hannah

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Beautifully written. Hannah has yet to fail me in her stories, and this is no exception! The is is a novel about the complexities and intricacies that bond a mother and her children. There were a few things that bothered me- but not enough to discourage reading. Stories and secrets, and an epic love story! A keeper for the library to be re-read!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The second of the Millennium Trilogy, continues with Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander involved in a sex trafficking operation. When Salander is accused of a triple murder, Blomkvist delves into the investigation to prove her innocent. I enjoyed it and will be reading the final novel soon.
