A Stack to Read



This is the stack (well, one of many stacks) at my bedside table. My mind has been much clearer in recent weeks. So I've been reading a lot and I'm hungry for more books.  I'm excited to see what these bring.  

I took this photograph yesterday, so I've already finished David Levithan's Every Day.  It has such an incredible and inventive premise (From the cover: Every day a different body.  Every day a different life.  Every day in love with the same girl.)  A premise that, in my opinion, would send any imagination soaring.  I had to know where Levithan would take it.  This book requires a steadfast suspension of disbelief (admittedly, I wavered a bit) but it did absorb me.  It surprised me. It made me think.  

What are you reading?

  1. Wow, that does sound like an interesting book. I have Ruta Sepetys's Between Shades of Grey on my shelf, but I haven't read it yet. I am currently reading indie published e-books and have found some I really like. :)

  3. I"m reading every day right now which I think has some lovely writing but yes requires tremendous suspension of disbelief.

  5. I'm drooling over that stack...The "Every Day" book sounds so intriguing. I'm reading "The Expats" by Chris Povane (?) So far, it's very good!

  6. "Every Day" sounds interesting; I might add to the TBR-list although I'm pretty bad about suspending disbelief :) I'm reading Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins

    1. I'm not good at suspending disbelief either and I did find it a struggle at times. Can't wait to hear how Spell Bound is :)

  7. I read Gone Girl on the plane ride TO my vacation last week, and Anna Dressed in Blood on the plane ride FROM my vacation. Both great reads, but I think I liked Gone Girl the best. Totally twisty!
