I have been on a reading spree!
I finished this week The Handmaid's Tale, The Girl Who Chased The Moon and Sarah's Key.
I liked all of them for different reasons. The Girl Who Chased The Moon was a nice easy yet at times interesting story. Relaxing read.
The Handmaid's Tale took me a bit to get into especially comming off of reading the True Blood Series but I did get into it and then I couldn't put it down. The figurative language in this book was incredible.
Sarah's Key was great. I finished it up in one day. I was borrowing it so I knew it was a very sad book. I think I was mentally prepared because it didn't hit me as hard as the The Book Thief. I had to find out what happened in the story and just needed to finish it. I was up to 2am last night.
Next up is a book I found in my bookshelf that I guess I forgot to read. It is a memoir The Color of Water by James McBride. I read the first 2 chapters yesterday when I found it. I didn't want to put it down. It seems to be such an interesting story and reads like a work of fiction but isn't. It is about a white jewish woman(the authors Mother) in the Red Hook Projects of Brooklyn during the 60's. She married 2 different black men in her life, and had 12 children. Her story is juxtaposed with her son's point of view. I can't wait to read it.
