Oops

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this but, my desk hasn't been cleaned since August (*hides head in shame*). My poor desk also always seems to get so much clutter added to it. I tend to just pile junk on it so the floor stays clean. So today (to avoid writing a paper) my apartment got cleaned up as did my desk. In doing so I found the post it with the reading list from August and realized I had missed 3 books to blog about. Whoops! So this entry and the next couple are way out of sync but I guess that serves as a lesson to clean a bit more often, just don't tell my mom I said that, she won't let me live it down ;)

The Weight of Silence by Heahter Gudenkauf was added to my list after the cover caught my attention at work someday. It sounded slightly scary (for a wimp like me) but also intrigued me. I really enjoyed the book and found it unique enough to keep my interest. I have a bad habit of continuing to try to guess how books are going to end, particularly suspense books such as this one, but I honestly was wrong every time I made a new guess.

There are definitely some scary and sad parts of the book but the conclusion more than makes up for it and overall I was quite happy that even though I shouldn't, I had judged this book by it's cover.
