Libro de Lunes

So I finished CITY OF THIEVES a couple of weeks ago. A story bout 2 young fellows in Russia on a hunt for a dozen eggs for a colonel, during the coldest of the winter months and hardest of economic and WWII times. I really enjoyed it. Anyone who wants a quick read should try it out. (It took me a couple months to read cuz I spread it out. I'm not a non-stop reader. I read in phases. lol But one could easily finish this in a few days.) Great for high schoolers. It's got some sarcasm. It's got humor. It's even got a little romance in it. I enjoy the way the author writes. I don't like books with alot of elaboration. I like dialogue. I want to check out his other book. I heard it's just as good. Imma put it on my list.

So I started a new book. Currently working on THE LOVELY BONES. A couple years ago, a friend recommended it. Said it was a really good book. Good read. Draws you in. And I always wanted to read it. But never got around to buying it or borrowing it. Since my new reading kick, it's been at the top of my list to read but still hadn't picked it up yet. Luckily, I finally got it as a birthday gift. 65 pages in and I'm hooked. Bout a young girl who is murdered and tells her tale from how she sees it in heaven. I like it already. I'm interested in heaven. What it's all about. I want to see how other people might envision it. I read another book not that long called THE 5 PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN. Different perspective. Look it up.

They're turning LOVELY BONES into a movie. I think I'm going to want to watch it. =)
