Books Read in January 2014


  
 
Canadian West series books 3-6 by Janette West
Mama Ph.D. edited by Elrena Evans
The Yard by Alex Grecian
Return to Tradd Street by Karen White

So January consisted of 5 extra days off of work thanks to the polar vortex in early January and the southern snow storm in late January.  For some, those extra five days means extra sleep, cuddle time with kids, binge watching BBT, or Facebook. For me, extra days means three things: Lewis, Clark, and a book! (Lewis and Clark being my cats!)

Reviews: Mama PhD has been on my to-read list for a while. I'm thinking about getting a higher degree, but I also want to have kids. This is an enlightening read about being in graduate school or on the tenure track and having children. The Yard was a random book I grabbed in B&N back in December. It wasn't bad. Think Jack the Ripper & Sherlock Holmes.  Return to Tradd Street is the 4th book in the Tradd series. The Tradd series is by far one of my favorite book series (ever), so it's not a surprise that I loved this one, too. If you like ghosts (I do), you'll like the Tradd series! As for the Canadian West books... I loved the 1st & 2nd book. The 3rd (When Hopes Springs New) was okay. The rest of the series (especially the last book!) wasn't anything to rave about. And the ending of the last book made me want to vomit. But because I'm committed to finishing a series, I stuck with them. Lucky for me, they were all library eBooks, so they didn't cost me anything.

What are you reading?

  2. i'm reading the interestings by meg wolitzer right now... it's very good. i'm also starting to check more books out of the library rather than loading up on so many at the goodwill... i have so many books. i never used to want to part with any, but some i read and know i will never read them again so i'm trying to be more open-minded about the library. :)
