What I’m Reading Now: Dead Girls by Alice Bolin
This collection of essays has totally captured my interest. Bolin was recently reading in a town near by and I missed it. Such a bummer.
What I’m Listening to Now: The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
Enjoyed the first one so much, Carpool buddy and I requested the second one from the library. I have to say, this one, so far, the murder victim is a lot less sympathetic.
What I’m Reading Now: Wildcard by Marie Lu
Taking a break from my pop culture homework for some fun mind control, video games and more.
Thanks to the publisher for allowing me an ARC.
Review: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
This book hurt to read. It is the story of Finch and Violet, who meet on the top of the bell tower at school when one of them saves the other one’s life. From there, its a love story. But, it’s also a story about dealing with tragedy and with things that have happened to you. It is also a book about mental illness and suicide. The writing is great. Finch is charming and Violet is awesome. The romance is precious. I’m glad I read it. Behind the cut is spoiler city.
What I’m Reading Now: The Last Speakers by K. David Harrison
I’m already into this book from the description of half travelogue and half journal.
What I’m Listening to Now: White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg
I’m pretty sure that this is just going to make me very, very angry.
What I’m Reading Now: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
A friend of mine noted today that the teen fiction book group at the local B&N is largely made up of people I know. This is what they’re discussing this month and it was available from the library! So, it would be silly to not read it and then go to the book group.
What I’m Reading Now: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
Book two in my exploration of language.
What I’m Reading Now: Waking Dark by Robin Wasserman
