It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Last week I was able to finish All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and get my review posted yesterday. This was not my favorite read of 2015, to put it kindly. It was well written, just didn’t hold my interest and attention the way I wanted it to. Sigh! After All the Light, I started Sweetland by Michael Crummey right away (it’s due back to the library tomorrow!) and I’m pretty sure I can finish before I have to return it. Hopefully I’ll have the review up by the end of this week.
Next, I need to keep on top of my TBR Pile Challenge! I want to read Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley. My dad bought me a copy when we were visiting Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii last summer, and anyway this has been on my list for a very long time. The author is from the same town in up-north Wisconsin as my dad, Antigo.
Concurrently, I just started Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler on audio for my rehearsal commutes. Set in Wisconsin! I must be a little homesick. 😉 I’m only about 15% in but I like it a lot so far.
What are you reading this week?
Just finished up http://www.npr.org/2014/01/24/265677564/movie-buff-or-not-theres-something-beautiful-about-hollywood, which thrilled me from start to finish. now working on book one of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Struggle_%28Knausg%C3%A5rd_novels%29
I loved Beautiful Ruins! (my review)
And I’ve heard the Knausgård series is EPIC. Enjoy!
Nice week. Shotgun Lovesongs sounds good.
I am reading Whisper Hollow…no opinion yet.
Have a great week.
