i cancelled cable this month and read a bit more than normal…though that was probably also due to the thanksgiving holiday and some good lying-around-and-reading time. this month i read one monster book and two quick ones:
edge of eternity, by ken follett (monster book - 1100 pages - the third in the series. i liked this one (and got teary at the end), but the last 300 pages or so i was just ready for it to be done. i'd recommend the series, for sure, but after reading this i was ready for some shorter books.)
the rosie project, by graeme simsion (this was recommended to me by two coworkers and i bought it with a gift certificate a student gave me to the book fair our school puts on. i loved it! it was described to me as a book about sheldon from the big bang theory attempting to date. the narrator's voice was great and it was funny and sweet and i was eager to see what was going to happen next. i forced it on my sister when she was here to visit. i'd definitely recommend it!)
the truth about alice, by jennifer mathieu (our school librarian is running a young adult book club for faculty members this semester, and this is our december pick. the author is a teacher at another independent school in houston, and she is coming to our next meeting, which will be really cool. i liked this book but didn't love it…it was a quick read…had some common young adult themes…i wouldn't hurry out and buy it, but i liked it just fine.)
