As you can see I actually got two Christmas books read. The Christmas Shoes is a sad story based off a song or vice versa. I haven't watched the movie yet but do own it. I don't know if I will this year because as of this posting it is already the day after Christmas. The song is sad as is the book and so will the movie be. I just don't know if I'm ready for more tears. I love the book though and does have a lesson in it. The after life of Holly Chase is a retelling of The Christmas Carol but set in modern times. It starts out a little slow but does pick up and ends up being a great book.
Little Britches I read to David and started it last month. It is the first book of a series and we will most likely not finish the series. You do not have to the finish the series because this book is fine as a stand alone. It is about a family who move to Colorado and rent a farm to help improve the father's health. It talks about the struggles and learning that the boy goes through.
Shadow Puppets is the third book of the Ender's Shadow series. This book focuses more on Bean and Petra and what their life together intel's. I have been listening to this series on audio book, in the author recommends that you do.
The Alloy of Law is the fourth book in the Mistborn series. This book takes place about 300 years later and has a new group of people. After the last book I read I will have to say I am not into this second half of the series but will read the next one to see where it heads. Personally I sometimes wish authors would stop adding to series when they are supposedly ended.
This was actually the first book I read this week. This finishes up the Luxe series. Again Tara has a review of this series on her blog, that I have mentioned before.
So for the week I have read 1845 pages. As I said before it was a great week for reading.
Until next time keep reading.
