It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Last week was insane, with KC Fringe Festival happening! I saw and reviewed nine shows total (more on that Wednesday). I’m exhausted! But it was so much fun, as always. Tonight I’m going out to send off a friend who is moving to Wisconsin. Not far, though! I’m sure we’ll see him either back in KC or when we visit Wisconsin.
I mentioned last week that I found my old mass market paperback copy of Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton at my folks’ house when I was up there a couple weeks ago, and well, I just couldn’t wait to dive in. I’m only about 25% in and already has triggered some great memories of my mom reading it to me first on a road trip, then rereading it at my grandparents’ house in Green Bay. I love how books can transport you to where you bought it, or where you were the first (or second) time you read it!
What are you reading this week?
I love this part: “I love how books can transport you to where you bought it, or where you were the first (or second) time you read”
So true 🙂
Thanks! For a while there I was buying a book on every vacation—I can still remember those occasions whenever I pick up those books 🙂
I think this would be such a great book to reread. The story is just so fun, and who doesn’t love dinosaurs? Plus, the movie is so iconic and really did define an entire generation. I’ll have to see if my parents have my old copy still.
I’m having so much fun revisiting it! And the nostalgia of where/when I first read it is a wonderful feeling. I hope you can find your copy!
