I am a voracious reader. I will read most anything, and if a friend or family member recommends it to me, I will get around to reading it at some point. I've read some good stuff and some terrible stuff. I read traditional books, and ebooks on my kindle.
I am an English teacher, so that doesn't leave tons of time to read what I want to during the school year. Summer is my catch up time. Every summer, I try to read as much as I can. It was suggested to me that I review what I read this summer. Obviously, this is what inspired me to start this blog.
I have already completed eight books since school got out, but I will try to go back and write my reviews on them.
Right now, however, I am trying to finish Out of Oz by Gregory Maguire. I have been working on this book since I bought it in December. It is the fourth and final book in the Wicked series, and I am just not enjoying it. I am not entirely surprised by this as I felt the same way reading Son of a Witch and A Lion Among Men. None of the subsequent books measure up to Wicked. Wicked was a page turner for me. I couldn't get enough of it, which is why I spent time and money on each of the sequels. There's roughly 150 pages to go on this last one, so we'll see if the end is satisfying.
