Booklists

I just added a page for my 2008 booklist. I have been writing down what I have read, but it is downstairs and I am too lazy to go get it. I just added the two I have read this week and could remember.

SRC and other book stuff

I finished another book for the Summer Reading Challenge:
Wild Indigo by Sandi Ault. I loved the information on the Pueblo Indians and the relationship she has with Mountain, her wolf, is interesting. The mystery did not quite cut it for me. Lots of odd or non exisistent character development. If I […]

I have been meaning to write about this audiobook since June. Sheesh, time can get away from a person.
Anyway, Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult is the best audio book I have ever heard. There are five different narrarators for this audio. like many of Picoult novels there are many themes going on: […]
