Keeping it Going

I am suppose to be keeping a catalog and review of all the books I have read lately so that anyone interested can hopefully find something that interests them in all this. I guess I have been slacking off the past couple of weeks.

Since my last post I have read:

Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs-again this is me veering out of my comfort zone with books and this time I was not disappointed. This book was just strange-but in a good way. I laughed so much reading this. There were also points where I was both shocked and disgusted. I loved this book so much that I decided to acquire all of the author's books. I am only lacking three now.

Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin-again a branch out from my norm. I really liked this book as well as this author. I like the fact that the book is written in first person so I can easily step into the role of the main character. It makes the book that much more emotionally charged as I felt like I was the one going through all the trials of the character. I cried at a few points in this book. It was great.

Something Blue by Emily Giffin-this was sort of a continuation of Something Borrowed but it was written in the FP POV of the villan of the last book. At first I begrudgingly read the story as Giffin did such a good job villifying this character in the previous book. I was able to watch myself as this bad person change for the better and find happiness in the end. I also like that Giffin added in a personal lesson of taking responsibility for your actions. I also cried in this book.

Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin-This book was a big disappointment after reading the two books above that were so great. I didn't like the fact that it shifted from FP POV the third person POV every other chapter. I also found myself around the middle of the book asking myself, "what is the point?" and "where is this going?" I had a clue but not the patience to read the whole book to find out. It did not get my hooked by the middle, it wouldn't have later. I skipped ahead to the last chapter and was glad I didn't continue reading.

That is all I have for now. I just started reading "The Sign" by Raymound Khourey. I really like his books but he has done something in this book I don't really like so far. I hate having to follow more than 4 main characters. This one has seven so far and it's almost annoying me to the point of tossing the book aside, even though it's exciting.
