What I'm Reading Monday - Blue and Green Eyed Girl

This week I have not been as successful as last week, but I still managed to finish one book!
Again the Alibi in High Heels was on the back burner.  Didn't get much of any reading done.  Ah well, maybe next week.
 I had some chapters assigned in this book.  I have to say it was really interesting.  I think we have a few more chapters to read in this book, but I really am interested in reading the whole thing!  It discussed how McDonald's entered Japan and what was tried and failed.

I finished up Black Heart and I loved it.  I could see how the author could keep writing books about these characters.  There are so many things they could do.  I actually enjoyed the ending even though I felt it did the 'not all of the stories are tied up' thing.  I think I will have to suggest this book to my sister.  She is going to be doing a lot of driving for the new job she got!  Oh my only complaint is that they cut the CD's at horrible times!  Each one was a cliff hanging in itself!  Gaw!

So that left me with my next book, Graceling.  I was not sure about it, but Kellee said it was really good so I was going to give it a try.  It was made by Full Cast Audio and that made me excited.  As much as I enjoyed Jesse Eisenburg reading all of the characters in the White Cat series I really really like when each character has its own reader.  Anyway, it started right in the action (I know that is how young adult books are written but it throws me every time) and it took me a while to get into the flow of the story.  I am two CDs in and I am enjoying the story.  I like the interplay between the characters - most of them appear to really care about each other.

I have a few more hard back books that I want to start reading but with all of the school reading and the coming house repairs I am not sure how much I will be able to read.

Don't worry I will probably post the second that it is official.  It still seems unreal... soon there will be no denying it!
