More to come soon... I just keep forgetting these!

Title: The Other Wind
Author: Ursula Le Guin
Did I like it: Yeah :)
Should you read it: It's a niche book but soooo good!
Synopsis: We return to Earthsea as one man is having dreams of the wall that separates the living and the dead...

Ok so I suck and its been almost a month since I originally posted these...  I loved The Other Wind, something about the way Le Guin writes fantasy feels so poetical to me.  It was very nice to read this and return to the world of Earthsea (I read a few other books in the series last summer)

Recommended for scifi and fantasy readers, but not for others... this is definitely deep in the fantasy genre.   

 

Title: Are you there God?  It's Me, Margret
Author: Judy Blume
Did I like it: SO CUTE!  What a slice of life!
Should you read it: Again, you won't all like it.  American women might like it because its reminiscent of childhood.
Synopsis: Margret is 11 going on 12 and learning what it means to be in 6th grade.

This book was TOO CUTE!  It really captured a lot of what it was like to be an 11/12 year old in America (and maybe elsewhere too?).  Some things were slightly different obviously because it was written a while ago, but somethings apparently don't change.  For example, I too was in a secret club which we called MMCD after the first letters of the secret names we gave ourselves.

Apart from being a good book for tween American girls, its a really cute and funny book for older women to look back and see how ridiculous we were back then.
