The best part about not being in school anymore is reading whatever I want. This summer has been wonderful for that. I am been on a big reading kick lately and hoping to share some good books. This post is a bit late, but I have been strapped for time lately.
Here is what I read in August:
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
Really great young adult series about Greek mythology. I don't know much about this subject but the books were still really good and entertaining. Some of the writing gets a bit corny but it is made for young teenagers, so I let it pass. But if you read it I just wanted to make you aware of it.
Gristle
I wrote about this book a bit more on 2nd Green Revolution. I mainly skimmed the book but it was still interesting that parts I read. And made me re-think my meat consumption.
The Fourth Hand
I love just able anything from John Irving. Seriously, he is a wonderful writer, one of my favorites. With that said, this is a good book but not one of my favorites from him. So I would recommend another from him, such as A Prayer for Owen Meany or Hotel New Hampshire or The World According to Garp.
Hopefully I can keep reading just as much the rest of the fall, but with little time it is hard to tell.
Any book recommendations?
I want to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Crossed (the second book in The Matched Triolgy -- if you enjoyed The Hunger Games you'll enjoy these) and The Uglies series. Seriously, I have an addiction to YA fiction.
ReplyDeleteI have an addiction too. I have read Being a Wallflower before but thanks for the other recommendations!
