Catching up, sheepishly
I haven't been updating this as regularly as I'd like, and I promise to try better until the end of the school year. February was not a good month for reading, or at least, for reading books I can write about here. (You guys don't want to hear about all the picture books I've been reviewing lately, do you?)
I have two of our new books (received in February) at home, and I will get my thoughts on those books up when I have finished them. They are: Heart of Stone, by C.E. Murphy, one of those ubiquitous urban fantasies involving vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures (this book adds a new one, gargoyles) living and interacting with regular people (a lawyer, in this case), sometimes hidden (as in a shadowy underworld) and sometimes right out in the open; and 20th Century Ghosts, by Joe Hill, a selection of horror short stories by the man who wrote Heart-Shaped Box, my favorite horror novel.
We have a lot of other new books and movies in the library you should check out. For example, we have Sherman Alexie's new books Flight and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and Ken Follett's sequel to his bestseller, Pillars of the Earth, World Without End. Updates on my reading to follow.
