What have I been reading? The short answer – a lot. Here’s a rundown of my most recent reads.
- The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell – a retelling of both The 12 Dancing Princesses and Beauty and the Beast. I really enjoyed it, though the first part was the stronger written section.
- The Serpent’s Shadow by Rick Riordan – Latest in the Kane Chronicles. It was OK.
- My Name is not Easy by Debby Dahl Edwarson – National Book Award Finalist. I really liked it. Historical fiction (set in the early 1960s).
- Listening is an Act of Love: a celebration of American life from the StoryCorps Project edited and with an introduction by Dave Isay. – I adore the StoryCorps project. This is an excellent collection of stories of everyday Americans. Have tissues close at hand.
- Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony, Rodrigo Corral – An interesting book – both in format and in story. I think it needs a re-read.
- Icefall by Matthew J. Kirby – Set in medieval Scandinavia, this is a story full of magic and mystery.
- All there is: love stories from Storycorps [edited and with an introduction by] Dave Isay. Another collection of stories from StoryCorps, this time focusing on love. I admit it. I cried.
- Black heart by Holly Black. Third in the Curseworkers series.
- Pink by Lili Wilkinson – Teenaged girl tries to completely reinvent herself, and finds out who she is – and that everyone has secrets.
- Nice Girls Don’t Bite Their Neighbors by Molly Harper - The latest in the Jane Jameson series.
