BOOK REVIEW: The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

This book was recommended to me by more than one person in the church.  They said it was fabulous.  So I bought the book before I read it.  Big mistake.  The whole idea of the book was really cool.  Being able to time travel and interact with your past and future self   But it had horrible language and some very inappropriate behavior.  I quit reading it after the first chapter because I couldn't take anymore.  So this is definitely a book to avoid.  Sorry Audrey.

BOOK REVIEW: Graceling

Graceling (by Kristin Cashore)

This is a series--the first is Graceling.

This book is a young adult fantasy book. The premise is original and quite interesting. It is set in a mid-evil type of a world where some people are born with certain graces--extra power to do things well. Some can read minds, some can use swords well, some are strong, some are good with animals, etc.

I do not, however, recommend this book. It alludes to adult themes and the characters have standards that are definitely not my own. I won't write out what it is because it can give things away, but if you want more details, you can ask me. It is a small very part of the book, which is too bad because the idea of the book is a good one.
