Book: The Perpetual Ending

I am trying harder to record as I read, if only to have my thoughts about the book fresh in mind.

Title: The Perpetual Ending
Author: Kristen den Hartog
Thoughts: I loved this novel. The delicate interweaving of present action, history and flashback, and the short stories written by Jane, the first-person narrator is so deft and beautiful. Den Hartog has a beautiful way with words and imagery, and the story, at once haunting and lovely, will surely stick with me for quite some time.

So far behind!!

Okay, these are the books I've read in the last month:

The Cinderella Pact by Sarah Strohmeyer
Party Girl by Sarah Mason
The Probable Future by Alice Hoffman
The Romancipation of Maggie Hunter by Jane Sigaloff
The Gum Thief by Douglas Coupland
The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold
His Mother's Son by Cai Emmons
The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman.

Ouch! Why did I not record them as I read them??
