I Have Been Reading...

I could give you a thousand excuses for why I haven't kept up on this blog (blah, blah, blah) but lack of reading is not among them. Since my last blog in January, I have read the following:

Death Comes for the Archbishop - Willa Cather (3 out of 5 stars)
Summer Son - Craig Lancaster (4 out of 5 stars)
Giver - Lois Lowry (4 out of 5 stars)
Interpreter of Maladies - Jhumpa Lahiri (4 out of 5 stars)
The Help - Kathryn Stockett (4.5 out of 5 stars)

I'm not even going to try to go back and review any of these now...but if you want to know more about what I thought of any of them, leave a comment. I have also recently finished another book which I will write about shortly, and that one was over 700 pages, so I'm doing alright.

All of these books were also read on the Kindle I received for Christmas. I resisted such nonsense and swore I could never give up holding an actual book in my hands. Guess what, folks? Haven't read from anything but my Kindle since. I love it. It's light, it's easy to read, I can bookmark things, and I can have just about any book I want within seconds (for a fee, of course). I can also sync it to my new iPhone and read anytime, anywhere. Technology rules.
