As mentioned in my last post I finished my 50 book pledge and am back to reading for the fun of it. My latest read was THE LIGHTHOUSE by Alison Moore and here are my thoughts.

This book started off really well and I thought it was going to be a really fantastic read but after about the midpoint the flashbacks for both of the main characters became repetitive. I like that the author didn’t go into a lot of detail about what happened in the closet but rather left it to the readers imagination.

I did it! Back in January I signed up for the #50BookPledge as promoted by @SavvyReader.  I thought at the time I was going to zoom through the books and be more then done by mid year. The next thing I knew it was summer and  things slowed down a fair bit the vacations and entertaining my daughter. As September started I thought I was going to be hard pressed to keep going and meet the goal set 9 months earlier, especially since I had shifted my focus from reading to working on my family history and searching for work. However, I'm very pleased to say that I reached my goal of 50 books read in 2012, but I doubt I'll sign up for next year.  If reading children's books count, then I've probably read a couple hundred more.

Book 50 Cyndi Lauper A Memoir by Cyndi Lauper with Jancee Dunn from Simon and Schuster 2012.
Loved this book to pieces.  Found that it flowed very well and I was able to relate to the story.  There are several references to Cyndi playing a dulcimer which I find absolutely fantastic as my daughter is learning to play one now. Some of the references to other artists were very intriguing especially when Canadians are mentioned.
