For those of you who have read Me Talk Pretty One Day and/or Naked, I beg you to go listen to the audio versions. I saw David Sedaris live and his readings are absolutely hysterical, much better than reading it yourself. Six to Eight Black Men is my favorite…I laughed so hard that I cried. 10/10 for both

Angels & Demons - 8/10
I thought this book did a very good job of holding my attention and dragging me into the story. However, I don’t think he is a very good writer (his stories are more about the “secrets” and subject matter). His short chapters with a cliffhanger at the end of each annoy me. The endless twists about who the bad guy really is annoys me. One or two I can handle but the final revealing of Janus was just…ick. OMG another plot twist! And another! ooo, four more cliffhangers!..it gets old. Still, I was entertained.

Half-Half Blood Prince - 8.5/10
Ending…well, that speaks for itself but let’s just say I was not happy about the length of this book, nor with the handling of the romance. Still can’t wait for the final book, though.

Lovely Bones by Alice Seabald (spl?) - 8.5/10
Very interesting book, definitely weird though. If you can make it through the first chapter (not an easy thing, and not because it’s slow) then keep going. I like her depiction of heaven and the concept of the book. Disliked some parts and felt that parts could’ve been cut. Overall, good book but not for everyone.
