I finished reading The Alchemist's Daughter yesterday and was hoping to start The Red Tent, but I am having some issues procuring the book. So, instead I started reading The Birth House and I am super excited about this one. I got this one for our BAMF's book exchange and it looked really intriguing. I will hopefully be getting The Red Tent by Friday and I can't wait to read about mentration and beastiality!

I borrowed the graphic novel Wonder Woman: Love and Murder from Sarah and thought it was decent. I LOVE Jodi Picoult's books, she is an amazing writer...but her comic book adaptation left me a little less impressed. I have never been into comic books and don't really care too much for lame superheroes, but I do like the idea of graphic novels and I thought the art was fantastic. I liked the way it was drawn and the story moved along quickly. There was dialogue intended to be light and funny, comical and quick witted, but it kind of feel short and felt a bit forced. Even though it didn't knock my socks off...I would still recommend giving it a try...after all it only took me about an hour to read and enjoy the pictures....Wonder Woman has a HUGE bosom!

I have started reading The Red Tent, our next book club selection. It is actually pretty interesting thus far-I am about 40 pages into the tale. The one thing that has shocked me a little bit, though, is the multiple references to beastiality. I have to say that if the options were premarital sex in an agrarian economy or screwing sheeps, that I am shocked that the sheep won. How disturbing!
