in July I read,  Alice Hoffman : Property of (pretty amazing), Robin McKinley : Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast, Rob Zombie : ROB ZOMBIE'S SPOOKSHOW INTERNATIONAL #1 (stick with his music because this is seriously lame), Gerard Way : The Umbrella Academy Volume 1 (another just stick with MCR's music and you'll be okay moment), Margaret Atwood : Oryx and Crake (rocked my socks!!), Banana Yoshimoto : Kitchen (A Black cat book) (pretty wonderful), Ayn Rand : Anthem (pretty darn good), Mark Haddon : The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Vintage Contemporaries) (better than I thought it was going to be), and finally Karen Marie Moning : Dreamfever: A MacKayla Lane Novel (which is the 4th book in the series, whoops... Once you get past the porn, it's a decent book and I think I will continue with the series)

Today I finished Richard Laymon : Beware In my opinion it was total trash. Graphic sex and violence. I read it in 3 days. It was VERY fast-paced. I don't read his books often, cuz they are SOOOO nasty. This was typical Laymon. Blech.

I'm reading two biographies: Jenny Sanford's and Margaret Sanger's. Talk about juxtaposition!

I'm not doing too well on my Reader's Challenge. I've pledged to read 100 books this year and my chart is saying
I am now 4 books behind schedule. I have read 60 books so far this year and here are a few books I've read since posting
last.
John Moore : The Unhandsome Prince (not at all what I expected... I expected a light child-like fairy tale...
This is a stretch at a YA novel even because it contains adult language and themes)
D. J. MacHale : The Merchant of Death (Pendragon Series #1) (slow paced and convoluted at times... Interesting enough and plenty of action for a reluctant reader,
I just don't know if I would continue with the series)
just finished Robert Newton Peck : A Day No Pigs Would Die (I laughed, I cried... I don't want to read this book again because of the poor grammar and atrocious dialogue...
I understand that is the way the characters would have spoken at the time, but it makes for difficult reading)
and have started Pat Frank : Alas Babylon as I was longing for some good ol' post-apocalyptic fiction.
(My standard, along with dystopic fiction, horror and fantasy novels)
So, that's all for me right now. Hope everyone is enjoying the ending of August and their book/novel picks.
