5/7/09 read The Diamond Age. I thought that this was going to be a five star read but the ending brought it down to a four. Still a very interesting read. I’ll have to read more by this author.

4/26/09 read American Gods. Interesting but kind of strange. 3.5 stars. I’ve got another book of his in my TBR pile, Anansi Boys. I have several other Hugo winners waiting at home for me to read them but I’ve got to work on some 1001 Books also. I finished up a monthly book challenge on a paranormal romance group on goodreads this month. The next one doesn’t start until the first of May. They are only nine books a month. So many books, so little time!
Anyway, this goal is proceding well. I have completed more than 55 percent of the list.

4/21/09 read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I read the first three books before reading this so I would have the complete backstory. That said, I am not a big fan of the series. It is okay though and I will probably read the remainder of the series.
