The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer #28

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer is a novella that Stephenie Meyer wrote based off of a character that appears for a short time in one of the Twilight books, Eclipse. This book goes through the beginning of her life as a vampire and through everything that happens to her in Eclipse. It is pretty short only 178 pages although each page is pretty short. I was able to read it in one day. You can find it in bookstores or you can read it for free on breetanner.com until midnight on July 5th.

I am a fan of Stephenie Meyer's and have liked everything that she has written, and this one was no exception. I found myself drawn to the characters and the story line just like in every other book she has written. I thought it would bug me that I knew what was going to happen in the end, but it didn't bug me very much at all.

It was a good book and a very quick and easy read. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Stephenie Meyer's other works.

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner gets 5 out of 5 stars from me.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte #27

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall was written by Anne Bronte in the 1840's. For that reason alone it was a little different than the type of book I usually read. The language was different than the what we speak today which means that I actually had to pay attention to what I was reading in order to follow along. I am used to being able to read and think about other things at the same time, and I wasn't able to do that with this book.

It was a little bit difficult for me to keep the different characters straight. There were several that were called by different names that began with the same letter so I kept getting them confused. It also took me a while to get into the story, it took me about 2 weeks to get through the first 100 pages (which is a long time for me). Then once I got through that it took me another 2 weeks to read the other 400 or so pages.

Overall it was a good book with a good story and worth reading. Would I take the time to read it again? Probably not. Should you read it? Yes, if the language differences aren't too annoying for you.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall gets 3 out of 5 stars from me.
