Every Christmas break I tell myself, "I am going to read books for fun," and before I know it, break is over and I have not picked up a single volume. Nothing takes the joy out of reading like being told you have too, sad truth of human nature. But, this last Christmas I did it! I read all of these...

I concluded this AWESOME series (books 4-7), and I am super excited for J.K Rowling's new volume coming out this summer! |

A very interesting modern fairy tale. I had seen the movie first so I already knew the basic plot-line, but the book has a lot more depth and details (as they usually do!). |
|
These stories were just plain fun, and a bit odd. I find most folk tales are a bit on the strange side, no matter what part of the globe they hail from. |

Tea and murder, how could I resist? |

The dud of my reading list. Amazon kept telling me I would like the movie, so I decided to read the book first (a habit I am trying to get back to). It was extremely depressing. Imagine everything tragic and unsavory (and I mean EVERYTHING) that can happen to a modern teenager, and it happens to our main character or someone he knows. Sorry Amazon, not my style. | | |
Since Christmas break I have discovered a new favorite author, Truman Capote,
and I am currently starting my Spring break with this bad boy...or girl... or thing.

Ahhhhhhhh, free time is such a luxury. :) Happy reading!
