Today’s Booking Through Thursday topic is “What’s the saddest book you’ve read recently?”

A few months ago I read The Memory Keeper’s Daughter. It was different from most books I read. Normally I stick with light topics, but when this movie came out on Lifetime, I knew I wanted to read the book.

I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would, but it was definitely emotional. I cried a number of times during the book and then again when the same stuff happened in the movie.

After reading this book, I remembered why I didn’t read sad, serious books. Working in the news business, I see sad and serious from the time I get there until the time I leave. When I come home and relax and read, I want it to be light and fun.

Yay! It’s Thursday which means you get into my head with the weekly Booking Through Thursday meme. This week’s question: What’s the most enjoyable, most fun, most just-darn-entertaining book you’ve read recently? (Mind you, this doesn’t necessarily mean funny, since we covered that already. Just … GOOD.)

I always go back and look at my “Books” page when I participate in this. And when I got to Killer Cruise, I stopped. This book was fun, cute and it was suspenseful. We all know what it’s like to be a teen in love, but it’s fun to jump into the love life of another teen, especially when she is filthy rich. I mean who gets a cruise for their 16th birthday? Not to mention a cruise where strange things happen and people die. Loved it! Check out my review!

What book did you choose?

It’s that time of week again when Booking Through Thursday asks about a recent book you’ve read. This week’s question is “What’s the biggest book you’ve read recently?”.

You could either answer this question by length or by popularity. I’ve been working on my A to Z List and have just been reading random books I’ve found so the popularity question is kind of void for me.

I looked through a couple of books to see what my longest read has been and while Dracula took me longest to read, Son of a Witch was the longest book.  It was 407 pages.

Maybe length isn’t my thing. I didn’t really like this book. I only gave it 2 bookmarks. Click here to read my review.

Today’s Booking Through Thursday topic: What’s the lightest, most “fluff” kind of book you’ve read recently?

I read a lot of fluff books, but the one I’ll put on here is:

There was one little mystery in this book, but it didn’t take long for it to come out, and it was about a pig. The only heavy action after that was in the bedroom. There was a lot of lovin’ in this book. It was an easy, light read.

 This week’s Booking Through Thursday question asks “What’s the best book you’ve read recently?”.

I have read a lot of good books lately, so I had a hard time choosing this one. The last book I gave 5 bookmarks too was Twelve Sharp. But I haven’t read that since April, so I’m going to do this scientifically.

The last book I read that got 4 bookmarks is Plum Spookyby Janet Evanovich.

This is the 4th “Between the Numbers” book in the Stephanie Plum series. I haven’t been too huge of a fan of the other “Between the Numbers” books because they have more a of a sci-fi feel that I like. I love this series because it could be real. It pushes the limits to reality, but in the crazy world we live in, it could happen to a very unlucky woman. These have taken away from that … until Plum Spooky.

This book had GREAT characters and some classic quotes. It was an easy read and I really liked it.
