My Summer Reading

So...I have been reading lately, I just haven't blogged much this summer. I wish I had a great reason, but really it comes down to laziness, I mean I have been more productively engaged.

So here are some of the books I have read at this summer:

Central Park

This book is by Deborah White Smith. It is a modern novel with the story line of Mansfield Park by Jane Austin. I liked it. I have never been able to get through Mansfield Park, so I like this.

It is a Christian book, so they do talk about good morals and believeing in God. It wasn't enough to become annoying and since in the Austin book, the main guy was supposed to become a pastor anyways.

I would recommend for a fast, fun, easy read.

Twenties Girl

This book is by Sophie Kinsella. I thought this was a fun book. It is about a girl who sees her aunts ghost so she can help her aunt find her necklace. While finding the necklace, she unveils a huge mystery and falls in love.

It is what Deena calls a "fluff" book, but it was fun. It was not a must read. I really do like the rest of her books, though.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I started reading this because I wanted to remember the book before I saw the movie. I really liked it. It reminded me how you really get sucked into the books. I love that the stories are totally interwined. I like that book 2 becomes such an important book at this point...since it never really fit before.

It was fun to read!

Twilight Series

I started this earlier this summer. I read the first and put my review...but as I read the last 3 books, I really enjoyed them and, of course, found my self SUCKED in. Eclipse is still my favorite, and #3 really was a lot better the second time, though I did like having the suspense of Alice's plot unknown to me the first time.

Brisingr

This is the 3rd in the Eragon Series (man, I read a lot of series this summer)...I really liked it...I am not sure what to write about it, it is easier just to talk to another who has read it...I will be happy after the 4th book comes out, and then the story will be complete. I think the books will be really dull if you are not into all of them and the stories.

I think these books read similar to the Lord of the Rings in that there is a whole new world created and similar creatures. What is different is that Tolken has seperate books recalling the history of the land and in the Eragon books it is all intermixed...I like it but others might not.
