I have just finished reading ‘When God was a Rabbit’ by Sarah Winman. I enjoyed it totally.
It was a breath of fresh air to read, simple and eloquent, the words just poured off the page into my reading eyes and I did not want it to end.
It is a simple story, about a brother and a sister, about love, about triumphs and tragedy. And everything inbetween. If you are looking for an easy to read, but enjoyable book, I would recommend this.
Before this, I read
Mr Rosenblum’s list– Natasha Solomons – which again, I thoroughly enjoyed.
The Millenium Trilogy- Steig Larson – un put downable, if you haven’t read it yet, you really really should.
The Thirteenth Tale- Diane Setterfield- in a similar vein to Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffeneger and if you enjoyed that, you should enjoy this one. I did!
The Passage – Justin Cronin – a very bizarre novel, which makes one wonder about the state of the American Government and what could happen, if people are allowed to mess with genetics and viruses. I enjoyed it but did find it a bit slow going at times. If you are looking for something sci-fi’ish then this is a good one to go for.
Dark Visions – LJ Smit – in a similar vein to Stephanie Meyer and the Twilight series, but focuses less on vampires. More on special gifts that a group of teenagers have and the perils they are exposed to. It is a young adult book and definitely readable.
And that is where I am at at the moment. How I still manage to find time to read is a mystery, but one cannot keep me away from books for long!
Now tell me, What have you been reading?
I am busy ready “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett.
It is an easy read and so far I am really enjoying it. One of the benefits of a Kindle is you can down load the first chapter free. One of the negatives is that you then need to buy the rest of the book, who can stop after just one chapter…..
