March reading log (week 3)
Finished my mystery book. I was write about our detective and his old girlfriend; the book ends with his deciding he’s going to go visit her ’cause their dog is sick. The author did this on purpose to tease us - now we all will want to read the next book in the series to find out what happens, even though this one wasn’t very good.
I started a thriller/mystery by James Patterson called “Lifeguard”. It has really short chapters and lots of action, which keeps you reading. But, it seems like a silly piece of fluff and I’m not sure I want to waste my time on it right now. It’s what is commonly called a “Beach Book,” or something mindless you read during the summer.
Instead, I think I’m going to read “Life of Pi”, which won all kinds of awards and is supposed to be amazing. Pi is not a number, it’s the main character’s name. It’s about a 16 year old Indian boy who is shipwrecked on a raft with a tiger. Sounds bizarre. It might be appropriate for you guys; I’ll keep you posted.
