the last 3 books i've read

ok, yeah, i like to read... alot. i'm pretty much a a speed reader, so i can go through a lot of books. this can get expensive, to combat the price i go to the library. sapulpa's is ok, and i do get alot there, but tulsa is even better! since i don't live in tulsa county, i can't get a free card, but at $50 a year, this is a serious bargain.

i'm not real picky, but it does have to have humor, a decent plot and fun characters. i'm not really into sex and violence. if there's too much describing, i put it in the "les miserables" pile, i hated that book! got to page 107, couldn't go any farther, read the cliff notes, and got the highest grade on the final... 86%. when they start describing the lead character taking a leak... well that's just too much for me. i'm thinking something (maybe a lot) was lost in the translation from french, but since i'm lucky to get by in english, i won't be reading the original french novel anytime soon.

so, here's the last 3 books i've read, in no particular order.

Elle Woods, blonde at heart by Natalie Standiford (based on the character created by Amanda Brown)
This is about elle's late teen years, her sophomore year. it's really cute, and i didn't even know it existed until i was browsing the teen section at the brookside branch of the tulsa library. you can find a lot of books just browsing the stacks. anyway, it's really fun, and a quick read and i would recommend it.

Cindy Ella by Robin Palmer
A different take on the whole cinderella thing, and better. she lives in L.A. with her dad, stepmom, 2 twin stepsisters and her half baby brother who is about 1. the step sisters are seniors and she's a sophomore. she's got 2 great friends, and weird guy she IM's with, and a cute new SAT tutor. it's a fun ride. i loved it.

Undead and Unworthy by MaryJanice Davidson
I'm a big fan of the whole "undead and" series, it's a hoot! if they ever make a movie (please, please, pretty please with sugar on top), that chick who played the fiance in the remake of the parent trap should so play betsy. i can see her now... really. if you haven't read any of these books, start with the first one and read them in sequence or you won't get it. i have them all in paperback, and have read them at least 3 times each.


ok, so got the baby afghan done. it's real cute. haven't de cluttered the house yet... i'm working on it slowly... yeah... right.

hmmm, guess that's all for the moment, still stuck at home... car still in shop... stay tuned...

  2. i read the first book in that series, haven't had the interest to read the rest at the moment. do have the rough draft of his side of the first book though, she was gonna publish it, but then it got hacked and spread over the internet. it's an e-book, and i find those hard to read, but i'm maybe 40 pages into it. it's interesting from his point of view.
