What are you reading at the moment?

I was kinda curious as to what kinds of books (or whatever else, I suppose) you all have been reading. So..

What are you reading right now?
How are you liking it?
What are your thoughts?

I'm about two-thirds through Circle the Soul Softly, by Davida Wills Hurwin. It's the third book of hers that I've read in two days, and I'm really liking it (fairly obviously, I suppose). It's really interesting--it's about a pretty 'normal' girl (whatever that means) named Katie whose father died in the recent past; her mom just got remarried, and the whole family moved, and now Katie is uncovering memories of having been molested as a child, and she has to come to terms with her past and her father's memory.. it's kind of about figuring out who you are, and what makes people who they are, whether an action can define a person.. anyway it's really good. Highly recommended :)

So what words have you been taking in?

Next up is An Abundance of Katherines and Eugene Ionesco's The Bald Soprano.; ▶ Reply to This

Ionesco pwns.; ▶ Reply to This

I think I'm reading something on my own now, but I don't remember what.

I'm starting The Handmaid's Tale soon...; ▶ Reply to This

Indeed, it is an amazing book. I have cried several times already.
Hosseini's diction is amazing. The imagery gives me chills.
It is a brilliant book, nonetheless.; ▶ Reply to This
