I'm working through my winter break reading, and it's slow but steady. I was so excited to pick out audiobooks for the drive to and from school, and I was excited to pick out books at my local library to read for the break. I've found myself reading more girly books this year and it's surprised me because I usually don't like that genre. Maybe it's just because of the stress of senior year and prepping for grad school...

I've officially read 36 books for 2012 and I've set my goal for 2013 at 37 books.

I'm linking up with Heather from Blonde...Undercover Blonde for Book Club!

The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling
I enjoyed this book, but I wasn't expecting anything like it. If the book weren't by Rowling, I probably wouldn't have read it. The book was about a small town and how they coped with a community leader's death. There are a lot of characters, and I had to stop reading multiple times just to catch up and make sure I knew exactly what was going on. It wasn't a difficult read, but I thought that as Rowling's "first adult novel," she felt obligated to include every possible adult theme. It was a little over the top for me.

America Again by Stephen Colbert
I really enjoyed Colbert's first book, and I enjoyed this one as well. I can actually say that I read the entire book in his voice. It's full of humor and sarcasm, and it was filled with good laughs. If you like Colbert you'll love this.
