Happy February! I side tracked and read Live it, Love it, earn it... Four isn't bad for the month though!

A few titles:

I listened to Cameron, A Dog's Purpose, on audio. A wonderful book, but have a hanky near by! Actually, the sad comes and goes, but what I remember most is the hilarious take on the world through the dog's point of view. Delightful in every way.

Finch Handbook. Not exactly accentuating the positive - it made me feel that they would keel over dead in three days if I didn't have a live-in avian vet. Since finches are what I've settled on, I hope it's not that bad!

Currently reading Finches for Dummies. I'll finish it before bed. Don't know what's up next.

Only got 1/4 of the way through Julie & Julia by Julie Powell and that was it for me. I just couldn't get past her attitude. She was a whiner and her need to go off on tangents talking politics and the off putting way she talked about 9/11. ugh. Not often a book turns me completely off but she managed it.

I did enjoy quick reads of Body Movers 1-3 by Stephanie Bond.

Finished My Horizontal Life by Chelsea Handler.

Started 11/22/63: A Novel by Stephen King.

**woodogmom** · 02-05-2012, 11:00 PM

Since my last update (One Second After) I've finished up 3 more:
1. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
2. Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
3. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

all three were great. Read 1/2 of The Shack by Wm Paul Young and just couldn't get into it.

Guess I'll select my 4 for February. Maybe I'll finally read the Hunger Games, I've heard GREAT stuff about it.

I finished Wonderstruck.
I'm still working through The Alchemist and I'm working on Parenting Teens with Love and Logic.

Happy Reading All!

Finished " A Tree grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith. One the three best books I have ever read and I have read thousands in my lifetime.

**dschipman** · 02-08-2012, 03:46 PM

Just finished my 3rd Lynsay Sands book Bite Me if You Can I am really enjoying her books. If you like Vampire books, this is a really light heart series.

Next James Patterson.

**madkat2618** · 02-08-2012, 04:10 PM

Finished 4 more:

12. Fey Born by R. Garland Gray--A paranormal romance. It was OK. I think this is part of a series, but I won't go rushing out to find the rest.
13. Immortal Warrior by Lisa Hendrix--another paranormal romance (see a trend here?

). This one was good, again part of a series, but I think I will try to find the rest.

14. The Birth House by Ami McKay--This is a Canadian author; the story takes place in Nova Scotia. It's about midwives and home healers. Really good book!
15. Hallowed by Cynthia Hand--young adult novel; second in a series. This one's about part-angels. Enjoyed it a lot, now just have to wait for the next one!

I loved this one too. What a nice read!

According to my library tracker, I read just over 150 books last year. I was unemployed for part of it though so I had all day. I'll be happy with 50 books this year.
So far this year, I've read 13 books.
My next is one of the Sue Grafton series - E is for Evidence.

I finished Parenting with Love and Logic. I am hoping to finish The Alchemist tonight.
Next I can read Freedom or The Kitchen House? Which should it be?
