tree_talkingI have finished three books in the last week and a half. It was wonderful. I haven't read this much in a long time.
I finished Dark Tower 4: Wizard and Glass. I am officially a Roland fangirl. This series is a very interesting concept for a fantasy story. I think of it as a sort of Arthurian Western.
I've read the first book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Bad Beginning. I can't figure out if it's supposed to be morbid, funny, morbidly funny, or some other genre. It was short, but quite clever. I definitely enjoyed Mr. Snicket's snarky style and strange humor.
Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper. A very intelligent young adult fantasy story. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading The Dark Is Rising which, I believe is the next installment.
*sigh* I don't read as fast as I used to. Currently I am reading A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812, by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. It is non-fiction, and therefore takes longer to read (LOL) but it is a fascinating study about the lives of women in Early America. After that, it's either The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, or Angela's Ashes, by Frank McCourt. They'll all get read. I bought them with my birthday money. :-)
