Currently Reading
:

Room by Emma Donoghue
Cannot read this book fast enough! I started this book Sunday night and have less than 100 pages to go!! If you haven't read this book, you need to!!! It's the story of a 5 yo boy who lives in a room with his mom, who is the victim of a kidnapping. Unbelievably amazing!

The Kite Runner
Another amazing book...this is the story of two Afghan boys and their relationship. Makes me want to read more books about this part of the world; I am fascinated by the culture and customs...I only wish I hadn't waited so long to finally read it.


Recently Finished:

One of Ours by Willa Cather
Read this for my Pulitzer Prize Choice of the Back to the Classics Challenge. It's the story of a young man pre-WWI who is not happy being a farmer like his family has been for generations. He seeks happiness in joining the army to serve in WWI. this is the first book I've read by Cather and I plan to read more.


Up Next:

Little Bee by Chris Cleave
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
