March 2011 reading reveiw....uh I'm losing steam

So I've been busy lately and haven't been reading as much as I'd have liked, but I guess laundry and cleaning my house must take precedence over lounging with my book. So this month I've only read 2 books....sad I know. Since I was coming down from reading The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest, I needed some fluff to read, so I chose to read High Five by Janet Evanovich. It is the 5th in the Stephanie Plum series, and it was great, I think it was my favorite yet. It seems that the books have gotten a bit racier as they progress which is fun.

The second book of the month is Water for Elephants by Sarah Gruen. Oh my goodness I can not say enough about this book. I was hesitant to read it since I don't always love the books that everyone and their brother is hyping up. But a friend passed it on and told me to read it so we could see the movie that is coming out in April. So being the super friend that I am, I obliged and began reading. Not even 1 chapter in I was hooked, like so totally and completely hooked. I barely put this book down over the course of the next few days...but again life got in the way and I finally finished it on Sunday. It was a quick read at only 331 pages, and took me just under a week to finish it, I loved it so much I'm toying with the idea of reading it again. The characters were amazing, the story was filled with action, love, humor, suspense and loss. It was the type of book that leaves you thinking and wanting more. I just hope the movie can do it justice and that the vampire kid they cast to be the main character doesn't screw it up. For those who aren't following my crazy train of thought, they cast Robert Pattinson (from Twilight) as the main character. I've just begun Hot Six by Janet Evanovich, and hope to get through a couple books in April, but with all the birthdays and parties happening in April I'll be lucky to get through 1.
