So, in the last month I’ve been on a bit of a reading kick.  Normally, my life doesn’t afford me the time to sit around and read, but I went on vacation and plowed through a few books.  The trend didn’t stop when I got home.  I just had to finish the one I reading on the plane, then the next one after that…

I’m a picky reader.  It has to keep my attention, and like I said, I don’t have time to sit around and read, so it better be GOOD!

I loved Unbroken.  That’s what kicked off my reading frenzy.  The book was passed to me by some friends at church.  It’s a true story and they knew the brother of Louis Zamparini, so it made it that much more special to read.  The Paris Wife hooked me from the moment I picked it up.  It’s about Hemingway’s first wife and they’re year in Paris and abroad.  It’s written so well, I think I read it in two sittings.  Dovekeepers was the book I read on the plane and ended up having a few late nights after to finish it.  The author is such a great storyteller.

The Soldier’s Wife was another book that tells such a beautiful story.  I love learning about history while I’m sucked into a world outside my own.  Maybe that’s why historical fiction has such a draw for me!  I know I’m a bit late to the game with Bossypants, but it was just what I needed after reading a few heavy books.  It was so funny and it was like Tina Fey was reading it to me!  The next book on my list is Cutting for Stone.  A friend recommended it and it looks really good!  I’ll tell you all about it when I’m finished!
