Days 17, 18 & 19

I find it hard to blog on the weekends, so They will always be jumbled together with mondays post. I wanted to do a book review today on books I have recently read and enjoyed.




First up is Dan Brown's new book the lost symbol. I have read his other two books, the Davinci code and Angels and Demons and enjoyed those two very much. I love how he ties every day things together to create a hidden story. I think it was the art in The Davinci code that first got me hooked. This one was just as good. There was a part of the book where I gasped out loud, because I was so surprised. I enjoyed learning new facts about our Nations capital as well as the Masons.




Second is "The lightening thief" by Rick Riordan. This is a younger book so it did keep my interest, but I thought they could have had more. I was left feeling a little underwhelmed in places. It was still a great storyline, I am a sucker for Greek mythology. I am now excited for the movie to come out later this month. I think I will read the books that follow this one.




I read this book in about three days. It is really hard to put down. The first chapters are really hard to get through, but when you do it is like a party. I loved the characters and story line. It really made you think about important things. I am a huge Stephanie Meyers fan and this one didn't disappoint. I finished it about thirty seconds before boarding my flight home from Arizona. It was a tight fit, but I couldn't wait to finish it at home. As soon as I finished it I wanted the movie to come out and I wanted to be included in the cast. I was really moved.





This one I am reading right now. It is about Five generations of Jews who start in Poland. I am about a fourth of the way through, but I really have enjoyed it thus far.
