Friday Reads

Happy Friday the 13th!

I am happy to tell you that I have two books on my list this week, and both are biggies, so technically I should be home reading right now.

The first one I actually started last weekend and only half-way through.  It's Stephen King's 11/22/63, and I am shocked at how many people have never heard about this book.  Essentially, it's about a guy who time travels back to the late 50's / 60's so he can try and stop the Kennedy Assassination.  Obviously, given it's King, there is so much more to this story, and I literally can't wait to get home and read every day this week.  The characters are real, the story is convincing, and in true King fashion, there is an underlying creepiness to all that's going on.

Love.  This.  Book.

My second book this week is from A Discovery of Witches Trilogy, Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness.  I loved the first book so much and have been waiting patiently for this one to come out.  It's already downloaded on the Nook, so all I have to do is finish 11/22/63, and I can go back in time again!

I hope you find yourself sitting in the sun this weekend reading something good!

Have a fabulous week!

Happy Friday All!

I am seriously looking forward to the day when Friday really means Friday to me.  Sigh...  But until that day I'll just keep reading.

Every now and again, a book will come along that will take ahold of you and never let go, and I call it Crack Lit.  This book is crack lit just like Twilight was, and pretty much for the same reasons:  a Vampire and forbidden love.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness is actually a cross between Twilight and Harry Potter, and will suck you in just like those books did.  There's vampires, witches, and magic thrown in with a mysterious long-lost book.  It's not a quick read with it's 579 pages, but I will guarantee that you'll love it too.  I have found it to be smarter than Twilight (it's not written as a YA novel) but there are definite similarities between the books.

If you are going on Spring Break soon (hint, hint) this is one that will keep you hooked while sitting on a beach.  I almost wish I had waited, but I guess I'll just have to find others to read.
