What are you reading? December 2014

[Bill]

I know, I know. I am FINALLY taking the plunge. I have no idea what I'm getting into never having read about this or seen the tv version. This may take awhile to get through!

It's very good. Book Three is amazing.

I'm currently reading Suit Francaise which is about the occupation of France by the Nazis when it was taken place. It is a rough draft. The author was taken to Auschwitz and killed. Her daughter found what she thought were journals and did not read 1998 and discovered it was a novel. It became a best seller.

I'm in a strangely insightful mood right now, and I think it has quita a bit to do with what I'm reading.

I just finsihed Suite Francaise which isn't a wonderful book, yet it is a beautiful tragedy. I want to see what it could have been had the author not been captured by the Nazis and kiiled at Auschwitz.

I got another John Green book to read title Looking for Alaska. Alaska is a girl and not the state. This is what I wanted The Perks of Being a Wallflower to be. It gets mixed reviews - you either love it or hate it. I'm falling in the I love it category.

I'm in the middle of rereading , and I've begun , the fourth book in the Dresden Files.

Another thing I'm trying to do for a bit of lighter reading is to read the Newbury and William Allen White award winners.

I know they are children's books, but sometimes it is nice to have that innocence and hope.
