January Read of the Month
My first Read of the Month for 2012 was suggested via a comment by a reader of the blog. When I selected my December Read of the Month "Anonymous" left a comment and suggested I read Sorta Like a Rock Star by Matthew Quick. I picked the book up in late December via Amazon at a bargain price of $6.72 for hardcover (not a bad price for a new hard cover book).
I started reading a few weeks ago, but sadly left the book in my office as I left for our winter break. I am just a few pages into the book, but this young adult novel is off to a great start. The narrator, Amber Appleton, lives on the school bus her single mother drives. Amber and her mother are homeless after the most recent "mom's ex-boyfriend" has thrown them out. I wish I would not have left the book in my office during the break, I wanted to read more during my vacation. I look forward to picking up with the book on Monday and finishing it quickly with a full review to follow.
I appreciate user comments and really appreciate book suggestions. Some of my favorite reads from 2011 were suggestions by readers. Feel free to leave a comment with a book suggestion for a future Read of the Month.
