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?
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. :)
ReplyDeleteI love David Levithan's books, and this one sounds so intriguing. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI"m reading every day right now which I think has some lovely writing but yes requires tremendous suspension of disbelief.
ReplyDeleteOh, I so wish I had a copy of Out of the Easy!! I'm excited for that one :) Right now I"m reading Maile Meloy's The Apothecary, Jonathan Auxier's Peter Nimble and listening to Beth Kephart's Undercover; your stack looks promising!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Out of the Easy, Jess. Your list sounds lovely too. I love Undercover. :)
DeleteI'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!
ReplyDelete"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
ReplyDeleteI'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 :)
DeleteI 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!
