February Books 2010

Well, I sure had fun with my reading this month. Short month, bah!!! Studying for my GRE, bah!!! Actually, I had to chill out the last week of this month so that I really could study harder for my GRE, but the rest of the month was definitely a fun reading month.

The Castle of Llyr 174
Taran Wanderer 218
The High King 248

*So I finished The Black Cauldron series. These are generally slow going but Joe decided to read them too so he was pursuing me, and the first two books are really short, so I had him pushing me through them. Actually, I really enjoyed the whole series, but my two favorites were the last two.

The Thirteenth Tale 406

*This book is written by Diane Setterfield. I really enjoyed the whole story. It's hard to describe what it is about, it's about so many things. Ultimately it's about a story--a story of one's life, what we send out there and what "really" happened. It's really a great book.

City of Bones 485
City of Ashes 453
City of Glass 541

*So I was suppose to read The Mortal Instruments series with a couple of friends. I thought they were getting the books far sooner then they did and by the time I was all done, they hadn't even gotten the books yet. So sad :( However, the books themselves--AWESOME!!! I loved these books. Read them in three days. I wanted more. Oh well, that's the way it is with every series I love, which is many. These are definitely worth the read.

The Lovely Bones 328

*Mainly I read this because the movie came out and was directed by Peter Jackson and so I was curious. It's not a bad book, sad. It was also not what I expected at all. It mainly deals with death, and how both sides-those who are dead and those who aren't-must move on with their lives. It's a really nice story though. I really like the end the best.

The Demon King 506

*This is written by the same author as the Heir Series that I read like last month. It's the beginning of her new series and it was wonderful!!! I really love this author's ability to draw you in and begging for more. Hopefully she pops out another book quickly!!

The Immortal Prince 597

*Back to Jennifer Fallon. This is the beginning of her newest series-The Tide Lords Quartet. Another great book. I really just fall into these worlds she creates. She deals mainly with the major drawbacks of immortality. It's really a great book.

Marked 306
Betrayed 310

*So the House of Night books have been sitting on my shelves for months waiting to be gotten to, and finally have have pulled them off. They are an interesting read. Written in "teenage" language, it's more a conversational tone, which is fun. There are parts that make me shut the book and go "oh gosh, now what is going to happen!!! Please, don't let bad things happen." I love when a book gets a good rise out of me.
