Now that it's finally winter break, I have a ton of time to read. I read both of these books between Thanksgiving and present and my reading has only picked up since. I'm just so glad to finally get back on a semi-regular reading schedule, and hopefully I'll be able to keep it up next semester.
I'm linking up with Heather from Blonde...Undercover Blonde for Book Club!
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
I listened to this book as an audio book going to and from home for Thanksgiving. It wasn't anything I expected and I ended up really enjoying it. The book definitely had moments that weren't believeable and the story in general was a little far fetched, but it made for an interesting plot and it was easy to listen to. The plot centers on a couple both connected to a man who was kidnapped by Dracula, or so it seems. If you're in the mood for something a little different, it's a good read.

Homecoming by Bernhard Schlink
I had this on my reading list ever since I read The Reader by the same author. It was one of the best books I've ever read and I had high expectations for Homecoming. I was excited to start reading it even though the story wasn't exactly what I would normally read. It deals with homecoming stories of German veterans after the war and compares them to the narrator's story and Homer's The Odyssey.
