Our 52 Books dragon of the month is Saphira from Christopher Paolini‘s Eragon. I happily supported the Saphira Figurine kickstarter campaign last year and look forward to receiving a collectable figurine of Saphira when it’s ready.
I finished Breaking the Dark (jessica Jones crime novel) by Lisa Jewell which was mediocre at best, writing and story wise. She hardly used her powers and most of her decisions were really dumb. James asked if it kicked a&% and I shared there wasn’t much kick a*& in the story.
Also finished Nora Roberts newest Hidden Nature in which the villains were creepy and the reader knew from the start what they were doing, so the reader got to be involved not only with them, but how the main character went about figuring out the mystery, in the midst of a lot of remodeling house talk.
On the nightstand is Guys Write for Guys Read: Edited by Jon Scieszka
“What is a typical guy moment, anyhow? Daniel Pinkwater remembers the disappointment of meeting his Lone Star Ranger hero up close and personal. Gordon Korman relishes the goofy ultra violence of the old Looney Tunes cartoons. Stephen King realizes that having your two hundred-pound babysitter fart on your five-year-old head prepares you for any literary criticism. And that’s just a sampling from Guys Write for Guys Read, a fast-paced, high energy collection of short works: stories, essays, columns, cartoons, anecdotes, and artwork by today’s most popular writers and illustrators.”
Right inbetween books so need to peruses the shelves and decide what I want to read.
Off to Watch Captain America: Brave New World.
