currently engrossed in "mother earth, father sky" and getting reeled in non-stop.

(to be fair, it is meant fo' a much younger audience than me. yet, i'm intrigued none the less)

I've just started reading 'The Goldfinch' by Donna Tartt
It's soooooooooo good, completely addictive, I don't want to put it down.

I am finally reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

I have seen it on the shelves at book stores for years and the cover never appealed to me nor did the synopsis.

Well, I was wrong, it is a really good read. I am looking forward to exploring the other books in the series. I like the clean prose that Orson Scott Card writes in, not too sappy and full of pointless description yet still captures the bare bones of the moment so I am able to see the characters world.

I'm reading two books:

Double Down: Game Change 2012 by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann

Man of War: My Adventures in the World of Historical Reenactment by Charlie Schroeder

I'm far more into the second one.

I am waiting for that next great book that drags me in and has me reeling for weeks and months. But for now, I'm filling that gap with various stuff. Currently I am reading an old, old book by Lord Dunsany called "The King of Elfland's Daughter."

The only reading I've been doing lately has been school reading.

The last book I read was Stormcaller, and the sequel to Apocalypse Z (I know there are many out there but I can't remember the name of the author, think he is from Cuba).

I am itching to get into a good, long book. I also read Ender's Game and enjoyed it, was a nice light read!
