Hooked on Books

In this update, I've completed 5 more bingo squares & blacked out my card- Yay!

For my 'Graphic Novel or Comic Book' square,

I chose Who are the Mystery Men by David Liss- It features pulp-era

characters in Marvel continuity. I'm not a big reader of comic books but I actually liked it.

For my 'Read on Vacation' square,

I chose Ezekiel Boone's The Hatching- It was absolutely fantastic! Well the

vacation actually came to us- we had a "stay-cation" as they say.

Some of our out-of-town relatives & friends stayed for about

two weeks for the July 4th holiday. We did do a day trip out-of-state

one day but for the most part we hung out by the pool and the lake.

For my 'Adapted for the Big Screen' square,

I read Rick Yancey's The Last Star- It's the third book in

The Fifth Wave series which has been Adapted for the big screen.

For my 'Book by a Dead Author' square,

I read The Golden One by Elizabeth Peters- She is one 

of my favorite authors and I wish she was still around to share her

amazing talent & stories. She'll be remembered for years to come I hope!

For my 'Book with a Terrible Cover' square,

I actually had the perfect book for this square but haven't brought myself to

read it yet so I'm substituting another book I read, The Levee by Michael McDowell.

It's creepy and kind of ugly but the other book has it beat by a long-shot. I can't put off reading/reviewing it much longer though so hopefully I can use it for Halloween Bingo.
