Books for 2010

Well, in order to beat my book read list from last year, I will need to read far more than 41!! Well, ok, technically I only need to read 42 books in order to beat last year (but I was aiming for 100 books!)... It seems odd that I would have entered the last book of #41 in October. Didn't I read anything from October to December? 

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart... The sequel to The Mysterious Benedict Society, also very good. These are cute books, and although written for the preteen set, make a clever little read for adults as well... Me likey. Book # 1 fait accompli for 2010. 

 

Gone With the Windsors by Laurie Graham... A diary-style account of the rise of Bessie Wallis Warfield and her social climbing to the point of marrying and becoming the Duchess of Windsor... It was a good book but MAN those Royals and the Americans who were social circlists? (I think that's a made up word) they are sooooooo obnoxious. It must have been fun to worry about what dress you were going to wear when Hitler was invading, but hindsight is 20/20... I think my review is falling apart here. To summarize, it was entertaining. Book #2 down. 

Now I think I'll start The Art of Racing in the Rain...
