Books of 2012

January

Just as amusing as the front cover promises it will be, but also very touching and honest. I loved it and will read it again at some stage.

Better than I expected. The movie didn't seem to get very good reviews but it was a good read. I will look forward to seeing the movie.

Started well but got pretty miserable- as to be expected since it is about the death of her mother. The second half was hard to endure- lots of detail about the depressing aftermath and nearly gave up on it.

The Harp in the South Trilogy.

This time I read it starting with 'Harp in the South', followed by 'Poor Man's Orange' and then 'Missus'. This is the order in which they were published and it was the best way to read them. I read 'Poor Man's Orange' first when I was about 11 years old and it is a book that often comes back to me and reminds me not only of the characters but of that time in my life and where I read it. This is the 3rd time I have read the entire series and I never tire of it. As I get older I understand things differently and appreciate things from a different perspective.
