A Breath of Snow and Ashes - Diana Gabaldon

A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon

[sigh] 6th of 6 books (so far!) ... I love these books. I might need to go back and re-read the first one now. The 7th installment won't be out until 2009! The horror!

Five bookmarks!!!

Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

It's funny to look back at past posts and see where I've gotten recommendations from. For example, the random lady Linds and I met at the book store one night recommended the Outlander books (ahem, I'm obsessed) and my post about My Sister's Keeper asked if anyone knew of the other good book Jodi Picoult wrote. The answer is: all of them. Hee hee. Everything I've read by her has been great -- the kidnapping one in Arizona was only OK but the rest have been great.

This is no exception. It's the story of a school shooting and it brings back the lawyer and investigator from The Pact. Has anyone else read this? I'd highly recommend it. Let me know -- I'd like to discuss the ending. Let's just say I wasn't happy ...

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Ugh. Shut up you whiny little jerks! How's that for a book review?

Hee hee.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I forgot that I used to give two grades: one for quality of the writing and one for my personal amount of enjoyment. This is a perfect example of a 5 on the writing and a 2 on the enjoyment. It just wasn't my kind of book. Very well written but just not for me. He uses a very interesting writing style -- I'd recommend this -- in fact, I already gave my copy to Kevin.

I'll say 3.5 bookmarks.
