Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

 
This is the latest book I've read so I figured I'd start with it. I read the Da Vinci code when it came out and liked it, especially since I'd just been in Paris and loved reliving that. This one, however, sat on my nightstand for a couple of months, on loan from my husband's nice and generous boss. I finally decided I'd better read it so that I could return it. It was a quick read and an interesting, captivating story. Dan Brown can certainly lead you on easily enough and I couldn't wait to figure out the ending, even if I didn't really agree with much of the book. The giant squid scene was a little creepy violent for me but I like Robert Langdon's character so I forged on, eager to hear the ending. Would I read the next one? Maybe... but I think I'll save my reading time for something else!

Another blog...

I'm a mom, a wife, a wanna-be-chef, a casual photographer, a friend, a preppy, a church-goer, a shopper. I'm a lot of things but most of the time these days I'm "momma" to a toddler and baby. I've always loved to read and find myself reading childrens' books and cook books more than anything else these days. Right now on my night stand I have a parenting book, a Jane Austen book, a Dan Brown book, the scriptures, and a pile of magazines. I try to read often but it's hard to make the time. So I'm starting another blog. I'm sure no one will read it but it will be fun to look back and realize that I've tried to read and learn things along the way and to remember what I gleaned from them. Here goes!
