recently read

i recently read the following books:

-winkie: this one was good.  a bit sentimental at times since the teddy bear is essentially arrested for terrorism.  there were moments that weren't believable (and i mean that in the literary sense, that it didn't fit within the realm of the story or seem to work with the characters).  but overall, if you are still attached to the velveteen rabbit, then this is the adult version of that.

-good omens: this one was a lender.  as in, someone lent me the book and i seriously contemplated not giving it back and claiming to have never been lent the book in the first place.  what is not to love about a book that lays out armageddon gone wrong.

-stardust: one of the same authors from good omens.  this definitely fits into that adult fantasy/fairy tale and i loved every minute of it.  it is not as tongue in cheek as the princess bride but it has that fantastic feel to it that i love.  it was romantic in the sweet.  and yes there is a movie, but this is worth it.
