A Couple of Reviews

Well, not really reviews - you know how I do this. Here's what I thought of the following books:

Xone of Contention by Piers Anthony - This was my foray into Science Fiction to try and get an 'X' book for my A to Z reading challenge. It didn't work out so well. As a matter of fact, I had to change my rating system to include a 'Didn't Finish' category. I tried, I really did - but after slogging my way through the first two chapters I had to quit. I'm still on the look out for any books titled 'X' if anyone has any suggestions at all!

So, this book gets a 1 - Did not finish

The Kingdom Keepers (Disney After Dark) - OK, I loved this book. I read it in about three days - it would have been less, but I was monitoring end of year testing at Zach's school - so for four hours a day I was there. I love Disney and we've been to DisneyWorld several times, so it was fun knowing what they were talking about. Also, the added excitement of knowing that maybe, just maybe, those animatronic people are real! I know I've always thought that they hang out in the parks after dark, ever since my first trip to DisneyLand! Anyway, I thought it was great and I highly recommend it. It's a YA book - but it's still entertaining enough even for this 43 year old.

I'm giving this book my first new 5 - I loved it!

Library Thursday Blog Hop

This wonderful hop is hosted by Lazy Girl Reads. Seriously, more people need to get on board with this one - are there only three people in the blog world who actually go to the library? Oh, that would be so sad. And I know that's not the case! O.K. so off the soap box - I did go to my library this week - and checked out more books to add to the growing pile of "running out of renewals"! You all know what those are - I know I'm not the only serial renewer!

So, what did I get?

Xone of Contention by Peirs Anthony

Yes, it's a Science Fiction book - and I don't think I've ever read one of those. Ever. But I checked this out for one reason only - I needed an 'X' book for my A to Z challenge. I know, it's silly to check out a book for a letter of the alphabet. I had to do it anyway. Who knows, maybe I'll discover I love science fiction...

The Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson

Sorry for the crappy picture. The cover was all hologramy and shiny. I actually picked this one up for the boy - but when he saw it was "really huge" (it's really not though) I figured I could read it. It takes place at Disney so I'm in - I love Disney!

Break In by Dick Francis

One of the groups I belong to on Goodreads is reading this book for May. I've never read a book with a group before (by choice - I mean yes, in High School when we had to read Great Expectations but that doesn't count!) so I thought I would try. Sad thing is, I probably won't get to it in May - I have a stack of other books I still need to read.

Oh button - I almost forgot the button! Link up library going people! 

Why is blogger making it impossible for me to space stuff right today? Urg! Sorry for the weirdness folks!
