Since I just can't run a blog without talking about books, at the end of every month, I'll give you what books I've been reading and what I've thought about them. This month has been a little slow, with school kicking into high gear, so I only have three books for you.
Amaryllis by Jayne
Castle
An early
book of Jayne Castle’s (who also writes as Jayne Ann Krentz and Amanda Quick),
this is a quick sci-fi romance. I can tell that it’s a bit less polished than
her more recent romance novels, but it still contains all the suspense and,
well, romance, that I love from her other books. This is the first in a trilogy
about strong psychic talents and the female prisms they need to focus those
talents.
The Lost Hero by
Rick Riordan
Man do I
ever love YA, and Rick Riordan is one of the best. The first in the Heroes of
Olympus Series, the sequel to the much loved Percy Jackson and the Olympians,
The Lost Hero exhibits all of Rick Riordan’s amazing wit. A whole new cast of
characters joins the series in this book, along with some old favorites. This
is my second time reading this book and it is just as great. Knowing what I
do now, it’s amazing to see how things are set up for the following books.
The Golem and the
Jinni by Helene Wecker
I must
admit that this book took me a while to get into. The premise is very
interesting, but the action seems a bit disconnected. However, Wecker ties
everything up nicely in the end, weaving in seemingly unimportant characters
and events. The ending is a bit ambiguous, but just enough so that the reader
can decide some of the details for herself without feeling like there was no
proper resolution. All in all, a good read.
What have you been reading? Tell me in the comments! I'm always on the lookout for new books!
