may: 14 & 15

this month my reading ranged from classy to trashy.


nightwoods, by charles frazier (classy.  charles frazier wrote cold mountain and thirteen moons, both amazing books, and this is his newest.  i bought it for mom for christmas and then promptly asked to borrow it...oops.  i did let her read it first!  i love frazier's books because they're set in the mountains of north carolina and because he has such a beautiful way with words.  and awesome plot lines.  this one revolves around a murder and mute twins, and i spent about 50 pages reading frantically because A Bad Thing was about to happen and i had to know if it was REALLY going to happen.  but if you've read cold mountain you know he's not afraid to let bad things happen.  this is a great book - i'd highly recommend it! - though the way frazier tells stories leaves you confused for a while until all the pieces come together.  so be prepared for a little bit of confusion.)

fifty shades of grey, by e.l. james (trashy.  i can't even believe i'm admitting to reading this book.  i read it for my book club!  this is my excuse!  that is all i will say.  shortest book review ever.)
