No. 35

I took a break this week from the YA genre (Although I will be returning to it very soon) to read a book that was recommended to me by one and poo pooed by another.

The Alchemist: Paulo Coelho

When reading it at first I was a little nervous that the book was going to become "The Celestine Prophecy"; A book I hated, and would put on my top 5 most hated books of all time, if I had such a list. Thankfully it wasn't. Although at times the book got a little "hippyish". It was a pleasant read. I also think I learned something.

So it's back to YA for me. Especially now since I came home with some books from the School's book fair. How I love working a school for K-12. It caters to all age of reader.

PS: I completely get why the one person hated this book and why the other would recommend it. Even though on several occasions I have referred to both these people being very similar in personality.

(15 to go, 41 days to do it, oh no!)
