Here are all the books that I have read this fall. I tried to get into a few new series books as you can see but some of them were great while others fell short. I revisited a classic that was just as good the 2nd time around. I will highlight my favorites and least favorites for you.
Favorites for fall 2012
Loved the Highland Guard Series, typical highland romance novels but they were well written and very entertaining.
The Hobbit was GREAT, i reread this book mainly because the movie is coming out soon and I wanted to see how well Peter Jackson does this time around with the movie. Still love this book as much as I did the first time I read it in high school.
The Wolf Gift was good, I LOVED Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and was very sad when she went into writing only religious novels...yes i read those too but they weren't as good as the vamps. This was actually a pleasant surprise. Loved the story and characters, hope there is more to come from her.
King of sword and sky was very good, i happened to just grab this on a whim from the library and didn't realize it was the 3rd book in the series. Haven't gotten to read the rest, but this one was great.
The Mark of Athena was great, I am a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series and this one did not disappoint!
OK Books
Centurions Wife was OK, being raised Catholic it was a cool perspective but very slow. Sorta just dragged on and on.
Daughter of the Sun was slow, interesting but slow. Felt to me like every time it gained a little momentum it stopped and went back to 3 page descriptions of the landscape...very annoying.
The other romance novels I read were good, but very typical love stories, they fall in love, they fight or find out a dark secret that has them questioning the others true intentions and in the end they get married and live happily ever after...
Didn't Like at all
Artemis Fowl just couldn't get into it. Now I can admit with the younger generation stories I have high expectations. I love Harry Potter series, Percy Jackson, and few famous others so I was hoping to find a great new one to read to my daughter...this was not it.
