So I’ve definitely slacked off in the book review writing, but I haven’t completely slacked off in reading. I think I’ve given up writing reviews for the rest of the year…which is what, only 5 weeks? Holy cow, there are only 5 weeks left in the year?! (It really didn’t hit me ’til I wrote it…)
Anyway, I did want to mention that I just finished I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak. What a great book! I read The Book Thief last year, and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I heard Zusak had another book, I looked it up and added it to my “to read” list. I did it so long ago that I completely forgot what it was about. (Actually, even when I re-read the synopsis, it didn’t ring any bells…maybe I just automatically added it because I enjoyed The Book Thief so much…?)
In preparation for my upcoming vacation, I started looking up books from my “to read” queue that I could borrow from the library on my Kindle and I Am The Messenger was available. I downloaded it and then decided to read it now; I’m so glad I did! Have any of you read it yet? (I say yet because if you haven’t, be sure to read it soon!)
My goal is to read at least 4 books during the vacation, so I’ll at least break the 50 book mark for this year.
Okay, that is all for now!
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving!

My most recent one was Are You There Blogger, It’s Me, Writer by Kristen Lamb. It reads as easily as fiction.

I haven’t read it, and doubt I will. I enjoyed The Book Thief but not so much to want to read more of his writing.
And no stress on the no reviews, you’ve had other fun stuff going on! I skipped writing reviews for probably half my books the first year I did my blog. My second year’s main goal was to write a review for all of them (mostly by forcing myself to write the review before I could start another book) and I stuck to it!

That’s a good idea; I tend to read multiple books before writing a review. I guess writing it after reading would keep it fresh and probably produce a better review… I may follow your lead on that!

Haahaa it definitely worked for me. Plus it made me stop and think about the books and not just plow through and then write fuzzy reviews later on.

Yes it is! Thank you 🙂 I probably won’t reach my year goal of 75, but I know I’ll get a few more under my belt by the time I get back from vacation.
