Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic - Alison Bechdel I will say right now that my rating is in between because I do enjoy the art work.

This book was recommended to me by who I can’t remember. Although I like graphic novels I probably would not have read it but only did because of the recommendation.

I respect very much the art work and the story she is trying to tell but for it was not that interesting. Maybe not that it wasn’t interesting but the view point and the literature references were just over my head or not the way I would have gone. It is not my story to tell though.

Although Miss Bechdel may have found some therapeutic instrument in telling her story. Too many books mentions that I didn’t know or in parts the story seemed so dark I did not enjoy. So while I think the art is great but the moments told in this memoir are only okay.
