2nd Quarter Book List

I'm still feeling good about my reading pace.  Since I'm still hoping to read 50 books this year I'm happy that I'm halfway through.  I think I've been reading book 26 for over two weeks though and I finally finished today.  We've had a lot of other stuff going on and I'm always slower at non fiction.  Now I'm off to fold some laundry and try a sample of the young adult book Divergent by Veronica Roth on my Kindle.  From what I've heard though I will love it and will end up buying it.

I have rated my books on an astrick system that is as follows...
* - Not great and don't read it unless you're bored or it looks really really interesting to you personally and even then you might want to think twice.
** - Pretty good and if it looks interesting to you I would recommend it.  I don't think it would be a waste of time.  I generally enjoyed these books.
*** - Great book!  Definitely read it (if it looks interesting) and you will like it.
F is for fiction and NF is for non-fiction.
