Mandy's 2010 Reading Progress

[Krys]

Good luck! I'm shooting for 50 books too!

[Mandy]

Thanks, Kristin. You too!!

[Usako]

I think you can do 50 books in a year. Isn't that about 4 a month?

[Mandy]

I think so but I have a few months where reading is the last thing on my mind so I have to calculate that in. LOL

19. Her Fearful Symmetry

Not sure what I think of this one. It was engrossing but very different. A bit disturbing yet intriguing.

[Usako]

I like the cover and the description. Not sure if I would go beyond the dust jacket. Huh :P

[Mandy]

Oddly, definitely worth the read, Tanja.

20. The Tenth Circle

Very interesting story. Different then others of hers that I read. Be careful what you wish for...

21. The Book Thief

A definite 5 star read. I can't believe this book is labeled YA. It is so much more. Very creative, with a beautifully haunting story.

22. The Weight of Silence

The story was very suspenseful but it honestly lacked in characterization. It could have been a 4.5-5 star book but it was just a 3 star for me.

23. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was going to be confusing at first but it wasn't.

24. The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

This family's story is amazing. Filled with courage, strength and the power to overcome obstacles brought on by society. Everyone should read this book.
