I’ve been gone too long from this sad little blog… but I’m back, and motivated. Aren’t you glad? Didn’t you miss me? I know you did! So while I never intended this to be a blog about books, I’m thinking that has been the theme of it’s short existence so I might as well make it official.
On that note, I don’t know that I’ve ever told you my favorite book(s) – it’s a tie – of all time are The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. I read them both every two or three years. So today I found out I’m not alone in my thoughts on Gatsby. It’s nice to be validated.
In more book news, I received the second installment of books for Elle’s Reader’s Panel for this year. Like most of my friends who participated in the May panel with me, I didn’t enjoy any of the books they sent. So much so that I did not even send in my comments on them. Here’s to hoping that I like the recent installments more. They are:
Willing by Scott Spencer
All We Ever Wanted was Everything by Janelle Brown
Ellington Boulevard by Adam Langer
The Abstinence Teacher by Tom Perrotta (I think he wrote Little Children)
Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner (I read this one for the May panel and was way disappointed)
You’ll certainly be hearing more about these in the coming weeks.
