Well, Summer has finally arrived, weather wise, here in the northwest, after a miserable spring. Today we finally had temps reach into the upper 70's with a slight marine breeze--it was quite perfect.
The Spring Reading Thing has finished and I think, considering the crazy Spring we had with tons of family activities, I did pretty well! I finished 11 out of 15 books, and two of those 4 not finished were just graphic novels. I am relishing the thought of having the Maise Dobbs book to read as a summer read.
I have kind of a long list, but several of my book picks are on the short side or are graphic novels. Plus, with the read-a-thon right around the corner I hope to at least finish the graphic novels for the challenge I signed up for...

- My favorite book of the Spring: Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas. I love Dallas's writing style and all the historical research she puts into her stories. I always feel like I just step right into the story.
- My most memorable book: a tie between both of the Harry Potter books. I have so enjoyed them and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Rowling has a great imagination!
- Least favorite: Going Coastal. It wasn't that it was a bad read, per se, it was just a little too predictable and chick-litty. It did meet a need for something lighter after reading something heavy before it.
Good-bye Winter, and Hello Spring....

What a GREAT list of books!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing that you have the read-athon to look forward to --- that should help read the 5 books in the month of May :)
Great list! I've only read Ex Libris and Three Junes (audio) - both were very memorable.
ReplyDeleteNice line up of books for your Spring reading. Jellicoe Road and Tallgrass were great.
ReplyDeleteI've read Eternal On The Water (Love Love Loved It)and Girls In Trucks is sitting on my shelf waiting for me to start reading it.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying not to join any more challenges, but this one looks to good to pass!
Looks like you have a good list. I just added The Post Mistress to my ever growing "To Read" list :-) Enjoy your spring reading!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list! Have fun reading this Spring :-)
ReplyDeleteI have Tall Grass on my list too. I can hardly wait to get to it. Happy Reading.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list Kim! I see some excellent reads on here!
ReplyDeleteEternal On The Water is excellent! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! The Postmistress is pretty good too. Enjoy your spring reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I got through most of my books, but I picked up some new ones along the way.
ReplyDelete"Just" graphic novels, eh? I had a lit professor who'd be awfully irked by that, but I know what you mean.
ReplyDelete11 out of 15 is pretty good!
