February woes

No..thats not the name of a book...just that i have ignored the books in February. I read maybe 2 books only the whole month!!! Thats my worst average in a very long time.
You know the way you just go off stuff you love for a spell..well..maybe you dont but i do that a lot. Thats how i went off books in a major way. I would sit in the bus, knowing i had a book in my bag..but would not take it out and read. I was content to just sit there and think.
Okie...so the books that i did manage to finish are readable and forgettable.
The Family Daughter-Mailey Meloy
What does an author do if she has met a writer's block and just cannot think of a new story. She re-writes her first book with a twist. Family Daughter is this author's second book. The first one(which i have not read, thankfully) is called Liars and Saints...it has all the classic elements of an "exciting",abnormal family...a daughter who cant find her roots or her self, a mother who is a wanderer and has never grown up in the real sense, a dead father, a load of guilt, an incestous relationship...a lot of stuff to help us keep turning the pages. The first book was supposedly a third person narrative about Aby Santerre and her family. This time around Aby is spilling the beans...Interesting..but not good enough.
Angel's Flight-Micheal Connelly
This guy is the Nora Roberts of mystery..whenever i go to the library i find his books all over the place..he must have written hundreds of them. I figured since the guy has made such a big attempt..i mite as well give it a try. Its kind of ok. A tired, over-worked and emotionally broken detective Harry Bosch is faced with the case of his life the same night his wife leaves him. An african american laywer is shot dead. What makes this case more important is that this lawyer Howard Elias has made a life of suing the LAPD and now the suspects in his death are also officers from LAPD. The books is a long series of twists and turns and more twists,leaving us heaving a sigh of relief when its finally over. Readable but not exceptional. I have read better Police Fiction.
