Our big train trip is coming up. Do your realize we will be at The Jays game two weeks from tonight?
Since Dean Koontz beat up my Kobo I've been reading paper books - what a drag. I've also had a lot of book fails:
* Dean Koontz - seriously, where was my head?
* I started The Almost Moon, and put it down after 20 pages. A book about a woman who kills her mom? Nope.
* Tell it to the Trees - this was turning out to be really good, but it got caught in the crossfire in the Dean Koontz episode.
* I started another paper book today, but realized I probably won't finish it by the time we leave (next Sunday) so I'm putting it down.
I have to resurrect my Kobo.
I have NINE new books on there.
I haven't read Mary Higgins Clark and thought she might be worth trying on the train. I got this one for $3. If she is anything like Dean Koontz, please tell me.
I don't think I'll want to get into anything too heavy since there will be TONS of time to read. This eliminates The Book of Negroes and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Jonathan Swift is SUPER long so that one is out too. I'm not sure which one to open.

I just grabbed The Boy in the Striped Pajamas the other day but haven't started it yet. It's sitting not the bookshelf with all the other titles that I haven't read... Sheesh. I need to get reading...
Good luck with deciding what to read on the trip!
Are you going to get a new Kobo? The Kobo touch is on sale (or was on sale awhile ago... I was able to get a price adjustment on mine as I bought it just before the sale). That's what I have and it's great!
Mary Higgins Clark is nothing like Dean Koontz, other than I read them both when I was in high school. Her books are fluffy mysteries, albeit with interesting twists.
I think "Before I Go to Sleep" is light enough for vacay reading. I'd also recommend Jenny Lawson's book and Cheryl Strayed's book (I read it long before it became Oprah's pick!) as good light vacay reading... but you do already have 9 books!
Oh, I got "Seen Reading" for my Kobo!
So I wasn't the only one who nearly barfed reading the beginning of "The Almost Moon"? The rest of the book wasn't nearly as gruesome, but still. Daughters killing mothers is never a cheery read.
