Vacation Post #3

This past few days have been fail when it comes to reading, but win when it comes to beach time and playing wiffle ball with the family in the street.  I finally finished World War Z by Max Brooks this morning.  I'm sure it would have been a much faster read had I been at home.  There's too much distraction here- way too many kids and noise and what was that?  It's time for ice cream again?  So reading time is a bit hard to find.

I woke up early the other morning and commenced reading on the porch.  I've been waking up before most of my family so that's pretty much been my only reading time.  Beach reading is hard to do since my two year old niece has a tendency to run, and run fast, down the beach. 

World War Z is a history of a zombie war- a bunch of different interviews from survivors all over the world and covers the beginning, middle and "end" of the war.  It was a very engrossing read, but I wish I had saved it for home.  There is a lot of information, so it's best read when there aren't a lot of distractions around.  Still, I enjoyed it and I really feel it's helped me prepare for the inevitable zombie uprising.

Now onto my next beach read- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children!  Happy Friday Reads!

Vacation Post #2

Hit the beach early this morning and managed to finish my first official vacation read, Dog On It by Spencer Quinn.

It was a great beach read, full of mystery and told from the viewpoint of Chet the dog, faithful canine partner to Bernie, his PI owner.  I read this as part of my Stephen King Summer Reading List Self-Challenge, and once again I was rewarded with a good read.  There's an awesome dog narrator (again, it can't be said enough, it's totally Bunnicula for the over 30 club), there's a young girl who may or may not be a runaway, several suspicious Russians, and lots of food mentioned.  Even a little tiny hint of romance- for Bernie, not Chet.

Started today: World War Z  by Max Brooks

I doubt there will be much reading done tonight because my nieces are here and there are  already screams and giggles.  Although that may be the ideal background noise while reading a zombie book...
