btt22This week Booking Through Thursday asks “What’s the lightest, most “fluff” kind of book you’ve read recently?”

I had a hard time with this one because I haven’t read anything I would really consider truly fluffy since about June.  But I did just read City of Bones and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare and while they aren’t super fluffy, I don’t think they are super serious either.

btt21This week Booking Through Thursday asks:

“What’s the best book you’ve read recently?”

This one is easy.  The best book I’ve read recently is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  I’m not lucky enough to have an advance copy like some of you so I’m eagerly anticipating Catching Fire.  Only a few more days!

So, I’m a little late this week but I really liked the question!  This week Booking Through Thursday asks:

What’s the most serious book you’ve read recently?

The first one I thought of was The Book of Negroes which deals with the slave trade, but I also read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas just before that one, which as many of you may know, deals with some pretty serious stuff too.

This week Booking Through Thursday asks “What is the funniest book you’ve read recently?”

The funniest book I’ve read recently is the book I’m reading currently.  It’s called To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis.  I’ll post a link to the review once I’ve finished reading it!
