Modern Mrs. Darcy’s Twitterature is her fun way to share quick, little reviews of books read recently.
I hope you enjoy these; I’ll follow up later with longer book review posts.
I’ve had so much fun participating in Modern Mrs. Darcy’s Twitterature the last two months that I decided to do it again! I’ve only read two books since the last link up, so I’m sharing reviews of two books I reviewed earlier on the blog in Twitter’s signature brief form. Links to the full review are at the bottom. Also, I will be writing a complete review of Dracula tomorrow.

I’m reading Jeannette Walls’ first work of fiction right now – The Silver Star. Although The Glass Castle was memoir, I’m sensing some common threads.

I’ve heard the same about Star. Are you enjoying it at least?

Yeah, The Glass Castle is quite a book — great, though. I remember hearing someone else say that she was afraid to put The Glass Castle down because she was so worried about what would happen to the narrator while she was gone.

It was so well written. I didn’t like putting it down either. I needed to know that the children survived everything.

Love your short summaries! Beautiful Ruins caught my eye at the bookstore last month and I’ve been wondering if it’s any good … though the cover sure is gorgeous! And The Casual Vacancy is on my to-read list.

Thanks! I really enjoy the Twitterature link up.
The cover of Beautiful Ruins is truly as good as the book and totally appropriate. I really enjoyed it. And The Casual Vacancy is one of the best books I’ve ever read!
