So here's a list of what I've read recently and what I thought of it. I'm going to go in reverse order from what I read since my last post to the most recent book.
Wish: Must read of the summer! What a cute book! All the 80's references and idols were nothing short of hilarious! Great beach read. Light and funny, parts of it were a little intense but the humor just leveled it all out. Great great read.
Stargirl: another YA book. Sometimes I can get into these. This one was okay and I think we can definitely all learn something from stargirl, I just think it was all so exaggerated. Pretty much everything about the entire book felt exaggerated. I guess that's great for YA fiction because that's an exaggerated time of your life and if I'm going to continue to read YA then I should just accept that and get over it. I'll shut up now.
Lost & Found: Don't want to ruin it for you but *finally* a dog story where the dog doesn't die at the end! I love how in this book there's a couple chapters written from the dog's point of view. I always look at my dogs and wonder just what they're thinking, well, this guy is gonna tell you. Quite possibly the best dog ever. Good book, I felt like there were too many sub-plots that didn't quite get tied up at the end of the book but a great portrayal of life with a canine best friend.
3 equal yet different opinions:
You have most excellent taste in books!!
I will have to check out "Wish."
A great book that I just finished reading is called "Pinch Hitter" by Dean Whitney. It is a great wholesome story about a man who finally fulfills his childhood dream of playing on a major league baseball team. It talks about the struggles that he goes through as he becomes visible in the public eye... and a family secret is revealed during this time- I won't ruin it for you, but it is really good. Anyway, since it sounds like you love books so much, I thought I would share one of my recent favorite books.
Fabulous list. I haven't heard of any of them, so I must check them out.
