Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
I just spent the holiday eating and reading...!
I finished Mortal Engines - a great action adventure story with plenty of good characters and a strange premise for a setting. Can't wait to read the sequel!
My favorite book was The Kiterunner, though. This is a book set in Afghanistan but written by an Afghan-American man who is a wonderful writer, though trained as a medical doctor. Wow. I was really moved by this, but it is definitely "yellow dot."
I've read a couple of other books that didn't thrill me - "godless" by Pete Hautman who also wrote Sweetblood, which I know is a favorite.
It was so enjoyable to spend the day yesterday curled up on the couch with my cat and a really good book!
Seeya on Wednesday...
