book reviews ….

January 20, 2010

i always forget to share my current reads with you on this blog.
i thought i’d review a few books i’ve read recently in case you are in the market for some reading material.
the time traveler’s wife.
i really enjoyed this book. i wanted to read for a little while and finally got around to it after seeing the movie.
a great love story. a little much on the curse words, but still a good read!the book theif.
i have also been meaning to read this book for a while.
and, … i loved it!
it takes place in the time of nazi germany and it is the story of 9 year old girl narrated by death its self.
i loved the book because it taught me:
* that even in horrible circumstances people can still be good.
* words are indeed very powerful.

p.s. i’ve heard this [the book thief] is going to be made into a movie. is that true?and, the last book i read recently.
actually i started and finished it last night [it’s a pretty short book] is the boy in the striped pajamas.very good as well, and also takes place in nazi germany.
i thought that writing about the holocaust through the eyes of children was a very interesting perspective. so, there it is.my latest reads.do you have any book suggestions?

{book review} -garden spells…

August 12, 2008

started this book yesterday, finished it today. i thought it was a really cute book. maybe because it’s summer and it’s easier to relate to at the moment. but, it was definately enchanting and it combined a few things i really like: gardens, food, cooking, romance, interesting relationships, and a dash of magic.
