Book 323 Easy by Tammara Webber


677 books to go!
This book tells the budding romance of college students Jacqueline & Lucas. I absolutely loved it, it was as addicting as twilight and fifty shades as far as romance goes. Twilight & fifty shades could be considered creepy love stories, Easy could too, but what can I say? I'm a sucker for those in the shadows almost stalkerish male characters I think it's hot because it has slight phantom undertones.

Book 320 The color of Magic by Terry Pratchett


680 books to go!

Since getting my hands on Maskerade, which is loosely based on Phantom of the Opera, when I was in middle school I've wanted to familiarize myself with the whole discworld series by Pratchett. With my trusty librarian tools I found out the order of the series so I started with the first one color of magic.

In the first of this series Twoflower a tourist meets up with a Wizard Ricewind. The pair end up on a few bizarre adventures while touring.

Book 319 Cat's letters to Santa


681 books to go!

Read this book sometime in May or June, YES! I know it would have been better suited to read in December. In this amusing children's read various cat's write letters to Santa Claus about what they'd like for Christmas.

Book 317 Bad haircut by Tom Perotta

683 books to go!

So the order of this blog is slightly messed up since I seemed to skip over book 317 and went right to 318. This work by one of my favorite authors is about Buddy, a high school student in the 1970s. Told through short stories the reader is able to follow Buddy's childhood and teenage years.

Book 318 Carrie by Stephen King


682 books to go!

Tackled another Stephen King. Mostly everyone knows the horror story of Carrie if they've seen the 1970s movie with Sissy Spacek or a remake production. Carrie is a social outcast in High School with telekinetic powers. Things turn deadly for Carrie, her fellow students and the town she lives in after Carrie becomes a victim of a nasty prank during a spring dance. This is the third novel I've read of King's where a whole town pretty much becomes decimated by some force. I just find it fascinating that this a recurring theme in the novels I've picked so far to read.
