Book Reading Demon

I have been doing a ton of reading the last few months. The majority of it from the library. Don't know why, but I'm finally out of that dry spell/slump I've been in. It also helps that I discovered a fabulous app for my iPhone - Bookcrawler. I can use it to scan barcodes to add in books, then categorize, indicate if I've read them, do I own them, rate them, enter comments, tags, etc. It's a sweet little app.

Recent reads are (In alphabetical order):
  • The Autobiography of Mrs Tom Thumb (Melanie Bemjamin)
  • Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Ransom Riggs, YA)
  • The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay (Beverly Jensen)
  • Smokin' Seventeen (Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum series)
  • The Twisted Thread (Charlotte Bacon)

Since I just finished The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay last night, I'm going to dicuss it here. Having read nothing from this author before, I ordered the book through ILL (Interlibrary loan). Overall it was an "eh" book, and could have been much better. The first 60 pages or so really had me wanting to read more. Enough so that I brought it to work to read at lunch. And then...then it started to change. Then I noticed a few things.
