March Books

Besides these books, I also finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I thought it was okay, but I wouldn't really recommend it. I didn't identify or connect with the characters at all, and once I could predict what was going to happen I didn't want to read anymore. I did, but I didn't care about it.

World I Never Made - James Lepore I enjoyed this a lot. It was slightly predictable but fun.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - Ann Brashares I needed some light reading.

Second Summer of the Sisterhood - Ann Brashares ditto

Girls in Pants: The Third Summer - Ann Brashares and again

Forever in Blue: The Fourth Summer - Ann Brashares you know where this is going, right?

Red to Black - Alex Dryden I picked this up at the library because I downloaded the sequel, Moscow Sting, for free and wanted to get to know the characters before I read the second. I haven't finished it yet - it's actually really boring. I don't know if I will finish, or if I'll bother with the second. At least they were both free.

The Marriage Plot - Jeffrey Eugenides I started this but haven't finished. I'm liking what I've read so far.

Explosive Eighteen - Janet Evanovich More light reading. Not as good as the previous ones, but it's not like it's great literature or anything.

Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand This isn't something I ever would have picked up on my own, but I absolutely loved it. Fascinating look at the Pacific POW camps and one man's journey through WW2. Excellent.

The second movie was a combo of the second book and the fourth book, so I doubt there will be any more (at least based on the books). They were cute books though.

I cried watching the second movie, but I'm blaming the baby hormones since I watched it while on maternity leave with my second :)
