1316850 3. The Dark Tower The Dark Tower VII The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower, Book 7) By Stephen King

Finished on 4/1/09
864 Pages

Well, it is finally over, and I am not really sure how to feel about it. I loved this series, and it is always hard to be done with a series and characters that you have come to know and love over 7 books! I was not one bit disapointed by this series at all, but it does leave you with a lot to think about. It was a long journey for both Roland and myself. A long journey, but oh, what a good one!

Now that I am done with the series(considering every book was over 700 pages) I will be able to get going a little faster on my 50 books!

1316850 4. Lord Foul's Bane Lord Foul's Bane (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Book 1) By Stephen R. Donaldson

Finished on 4/28/09

This book was pretty good. It took me awhile to get through, so parts of it were really slow. It had a very interesting premise, and I liked the world and all the characters created, but there was just too much descriptive writing about the scenerey that just went on and on. Overall it was okay, I will continue to read the rest of the trilogy....after I take a break with something else first.

1316850 5. Blood Brothers Blood Brothers (Sign of Seven trilogy #1) By Nora Roberts

Finished on 5/10/09
314 Pages

I really really enjoyed this book. It is a really easy fun fast read and I loved the premise of the story and the characters. Nora Roberts can be really cheesy sometimes with diolauge and "one liners", but the book is so enjoyable that it can be overlooked. I would definately recomend it.

1316850 6. The Hollow The Hollow (Sign of Seven trilogy #2) By Nora Roberts

Finished on 5/19/09
318 Pages

I actually enjoyed this one more than the first one. I enjoyed the perspective of the different characters in this one, and I felt like the story line and plot became a lot more interesting. I am excited to get through the 3rd one and see how it all wraps up.

1316850 7. The Pagan Stone The Pagan Stone (Sign of Seven trilogy #3) By Nora Roberts

Finished 6/9/09
305 Pages

I like this book. It was probably my least favorite of the trilogy, but it was still good. The ending was pretty anti climactic and was pretty predictable. The characters were likable and the story line interesting. I didn't get as involved in this one as the other two, and it took me longer cause I didn't feel the urge to devour it. But all in all, a pretty good read.

1316850 8. Inkheart Inkheart (Inkheart, Book 1) By Cornelia Funke

Finished 6/23/09

I really enjoyed this book. It was really fun and a light easy read. I really enjoyed the concept of the whole book inside a book thing. I liked all the characters and thought the story line was really fun. I will definatly read the rest of the trilogy!

1316850 9. A Wrinkle in Time A Wrinkle in Time (Time, Book 1) By Madeleine L'Engle

Finished 7/4/09

This was a re-read for me, but it has been about 13 years since I last read it. I wanted to read it again cause I haven't read the rest of the series. I have had all the other books for years and finally decided to read them all. I loved this book when I was little, and I really enjoyed it as an adult too. I am excited to see what the rest of the books bring!

I guess I need to re-read A Wrinkle in Time. My Mom and I read it together when I was in Jr.High.

I liked this book a lot. I dare say I even liked it better than the first one. I thought this one had more depth in the plot and had more interesting story lines. I am really glad I decided to read the rest of the series, I am really enjoying it!

1316850 11. The Thief of Always A Fable Thief of Always By Clive Barker

Finished 11/4/09

This was a re-read for me. It has been one of my favorite books since Jr. High and it was selected to be read for a book club. I was excited to read it again, and it did not disapoint! I loved it just as much as the other 5 times I have read it!
