9. Finished Blue Heaven by C.J. Box

The middle of that book was a real page-turner. Couldn't wait to see what happened next. The ending, though, was just sad. And too much. Not impressed. I will forgo any more Mr. Box for a while. Everything I've read so far ends the same.

So, I decided to try a couple from that Stearn's (?) list last week. The Fever. This was in the YA section so I was intrigued. At first I thought I might give it up since I couldn't really relate to anyone in the story, despite the fact I was once a teenage girl myself. Things are sure different now than they were back then. But, there is enough mystery about what's going on to keep me reading, and it's a fast read so I shall see it through.

In retrospect I would like to say that Swordspoint is an awesome book. Quite unique. A bit hard to read sometimes because it uses "olde" language but it's full of humor and pathos. This book is staying in my mind. I might even have to put it in that Best Books post.

Thanks and happy reading!
