WWW Wednesday... July 20

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…

• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?





Currently Reading: Where She Went by Gayle Forman. This is the second book in the series, If I Stay, and the book picks up the action three years after the end of the last book. So far it is from Adam's point-of-view. I loved the first book so I am looking forward to this one.




 
 Currently Listening to: Room by Emma Donoghue. Surprisingly compelling and thoughtful book about a your boy whose mother bore him while she was being held captive in a room. My whole family listened to this on a road trip home from Boise this week.  Since we didn't finish before we got home, we now will take turns listening to the conclusion. In the meantime, we are all guessing what we think will happen at the end.

 
 Recently finished: Can't Wait to Get to Heaven by Fannie Flagg. Flagg, the author of Fried Green Tomatoes, has created another funny, quirky book here about a woman who has a life after death experience then returns to earth to tell about it. A fun, mindless read that would be good for a vacation book. I give it two thumbs up!

 
What I hope to start soon: Beauty Queens by Libba Bray. Count me as a Libba Bray devotee. I just picked up the audiobook of Beauty Queens today from the library. I'm itching to get started.
