read a book a month

I finished the 107-page “Tales of Beedle the Bard” in three days. I ended up buying “Watchmen” after rave reviews, especially from TIME Magazine. I mean, they don’t name just any book as one of the best books of the 21st century, right?

I’m really excited for it. If I finish it by April, I’m hoping to go see it in the theaters. But I swear, if I hate this book, I’m going to start reading books that no one has ever heard of! Hype will be my enemy. haha

Ted Dekker – “White”

I am so done with Ted Dekker. This book was the third in his Circle Trilogy, and the fourth of his that I read, and I’m officially not impressed. My nickname for him is Anti-Climax. haha

That’s what I figured out last night. In three books of the series, I think there were two parts where I was on the edge of my seat, figuratively. I did figure out this ending, too, a few chapters before the “big finish”, and when I got there, I was so less than impressed with the way it was written.

It’s too bad. I wanted so bad to love his books. But I think I’m done with him for a while.

March’s book is one I got for Christmas that I’m so excited about. J.K. Rowling’s “The Tales of Beedle the Bard”. It’s super short so I’ll either be taking a break from reading or actually read two in March!

Just finished the second book of Ted Dekker’s Circle Trilogy, “Red”. The way I see it, he has one more book to prove to me that the hype surrounding him isn’t fluff. I read his “Thr3e” and was slightly disappointed, then started this Circle Trilogy on a friend’s word that it was a spectacular series.

February’s book is the third in the trilogy, “White”. Come on Ted, I know you can do this.

This should be so easy! But every time I pick up a book, I fall asleep. I’m not even exaggerating! I used to read so much, but now I hardly have time during the day, and at bedtime, I just want to sleep.

I am in the process of reading the second book in Ted Dekker’s Circle Trilogy, Red. Once I finish that, I can read the conclusion of that trilogy, White.

Here I go! :)
