Under wildwood

Under Wildwood by Colin Meloy. This is not what I expected from the second segment of this series but I loved it! I couldn't stop reading. There are so many twists and turns and unexpected adventure. It's like reading Harry potter for the first time, that excitement you feel when you finish the book, and the longing for the next book! I think the new characters are interesting and important to the overall story and I am interested to see how they all fit into the overall story. It is a dark book though with all sorts of evil and I think it fits the series perfectly. Evil is everywhere in this world and even in young adult literature I think it's important.
Can't wait for the next segment Colin Meloy!

The Night Circus

First book finished in 2013. Brandi picked this for book club this month. I wasn't amazed by it and I was waiting for something great to happen that never came. I thought the images and the world she created was vivid but there was no plot or satisfying ending to the story.

I want to read 40 books this year. 1 down 39 to go!

2013 Happy New Years!!

Here are my New Years resolutions!

1. Make new friends
2. Swim 2 miles
3. 2 new stamps in my passport
4. Write in my blog more
5. The usual, fall in love.

2013 is going to be a great year.
