Monday Mini Reviews

It’s been over a month since I posted any reviews, but that’s mostly because I’ve only finished one book during that time! GASP!
After Good Things I Wish You, I started Sunnyside by Glen David Gold. This one is a chunkster, and while I was interested, it just dragged and I had to move on. I haven’t completely given up on it, just put it aside for a while.
Then I grabbed The Color of Magic, my first book for the Pratchett Challenge. I had attempted to listen to this on audiobook a few years ago and it didn’t grab me. However, I have since read 2 other Pratchett books and really enjoyed them, so I decided to give it another try, this time in print. I enjoyed it much more this way! I’m really looking forward to reading more for this challenge (in fact, I am currently reading the 2nd in the discworld series).
After The Color of Magic I picked up American Rust by Philipp Meyer. I tried so hard to like this book. I made it more than halfway. But I really didn’t like it. So I gave up. It’s a “good” book, in terms of writing style, etc., but I just wasn’t enjoying reading it. Life’s too short to read a book you don’t enjoy.




I’ve read a few Pratchett books but my favorite ones are the ones with the witches. I think I’ve read three of the witch books, but I don’t remember what they are called. How was Color of Magic?
Color of Magic was ok, but nit as good as the other (few) Pratchett books I’ve read. I’m looking forward to the witch books!
