More Books

Again, it's been a while. Really quick rundown of the books I've read lately...

Sun of Suns by Karl Schroeder
Kick butt pirate adventure in a world completely enclosed in a huge balloon. Very cool, I liked it and will pick up the others in this series when they come out.

Lisey's Story by Stephen King
Got this book for Christmas. I tried getting into it a couple of times, but it just couldn't hold my interest. Had to put it down once I got to page 50.

The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck
Something that I'm learning as I get older is that I really like John Steinbeck's books. If you had told me that in 7th grade when I was forced to read The Pearl, I would have laughed in your face. Such a good story in this book...I will have to go out and find more of his books.

The Blonde by Duane Swierczynki
Read the book in one night, kind of appropriate since most of the book occurs over the course of a couple of days. I just couldn't put it down until I got to the end. I think I might have a new favorite author.
