Man, where did the time go?

  1. PBS So Much for My Happy Ending - Kyra Davis
  2. PBS Over Her Dead Body - Kate White
  3. PBS Playing For Pizza - John Grisham
  4. GFT The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini [audio]
  5. PBS Love The One You’re With - Emily Giffin

So I didn’t read very much but at this point I will be amazed if I make it to the end of the year with 100. So Much for My Happy Ending was sort of bizarre but very unique. After I finished the Emily Giffin book (check out her first two novels, Something Borrowed and Something Blue for the best reading experience EVER), I felt like they were pretty much two sides of the same story. Girl meets boy, girl loves boy, girl marries boy, boy turns out to be a weirdo, other boy comes into the mix… They just ended differently. Over Her Dead Body was a little murder mystery that is apparently several books along in a series (but it worked well as a stand alone) and Playing For Pizza was about a washed-up NFL player who has a little Italian adventure, a la Eat Pray Love. (Grisham said in an interview on The Colbert Report that there were no lawyers in it - lies.) And my one audio book this month was a pretty famous one. The Kite Runner was a solid story, but sort of depressing. Khaled Hosseini’s books are probably better in audio form because you get the real gist of the story through the accent.

All of my books this month were fiction. I’ve changed it up this month; first book I started was the unauthorized biography of Mr Cruise. I should probably finish off those books that have been collecting dust on my “currently reading” section on the page about my reading resolution. Like that cosmetics encycopedia. Yeesh. With all of my school reading, I don’t even know where I find the time.

I just realized that the last book I only finished yesterday, not in August. Whatever. I may include it again next month just for giggles.

This month’s recommendations:

  • The Kite Runner
