I didn't meet my goal for the months of February through April, as I suspected I wouldn't. I read a total of 13 books in three months which averages to 4 per month. That's pitful compared to the average of 9 per month that I averaged before, however, since I did accomplish other things I am not disappointed! The last books I read were :
11. The Help by Kathryn Stockett (If you haven't read it, do so! It's fantastic. It is one of the best books I've read in a while.
12. Hostage to the Devil by Martin Malachai (Heavy Theology book)
13. Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris (I definitely don't like this writer.)
So, I have read a total of 44 books for the year, for an average of 5.5 books per month. (I started in September. So from September to April.) Not too shabby...
I greatly enjoyed the book The Help -- except for one minor technical detail. In the middle of the book, she broke point of view to present a chapter in third person, and I thought it wasn't necessary. I'm a stickler for that kind of thing: when the author chooses a POV, she should work within the limitation she chose.
ReplyDeleteMaybe only a writer would gripe about that, because otherwise, it was an awesome book.
