I'm reading I promise.....

Since I'm trying to kick my depressing-infidelity Shreve/Sparks Slump - I'm slowly (because I have more pressing things on my to do list and because I haven't been riding the bus) reading the following books:

• Flowers for Algernon
• Adam Canfield of the Slash
• Eragon
• The successful academic librarian: winning strategies from library leaders

More on these books soon.....

At First Sight

Nicholas Sparks

Mood: Sad with a Pout.

A story which continues A True Believer (which I haven't read), it's typical Sparks fare, just when you think that all is well and good between Lexie and Jeremy, a wicked twist comes out of nowhere. I should remember that when I read his books. That's part of the reason why I've created this blog. I'd like to try A True Believer, since I know how the story will eventually end. I'd like to read more about the lights at the cemetary and the psychic/diviner.

Where or When

Anita Shreve

Mood: Bummed

I don't know what my major malfunction is, but I've been stuck in a reading rut. Not necessarily a bad thing, I just keep turning to Shreve and I keep getting the same result - I'm sad and emotionally drained after reading her books. I get emotionally involved with her characters and their situations. I'm upset with their choices but at the same time I can't stop reading the book. Themes of infidelity and long lost love - true love unrealized run through this tightly woven storyline.
