In My Reading Life

I didn’t read much last week because I had a Denver Five Things pass. I spent the week doing things outside of the house instead of reading.

I finished Pull Me Under by Kelly Luce. The premise sounded interesting. The main character murdered someone when she was a child. As an adult, she moves from Japan to the US and tries to create a new life for herself while keeping her past hidden. I got frustrated with the book. The narrator is bland, and I felt like I was always several steps ahead of her. I got irritated with her for taking so long to spot what’s obvious and do something about it.

Right now, I’m reading The Possessions by Sara Flannery Murphy. I’m not loving this one either. It’s too slow for me, and (currently) I don’t understand the narrator’s motives.

In My Internet Stalking Life

Like I said, I was busy last week, so I didn't get much blog hopping done.

• Marie @ Drizzle & Hurricane books talks about how to support international bloggers.
• Curious about the books on the Man Booker Award longlist? There's a breakdown of them on Rain City Reads.

In The Rest Of My Life

The five things I did with the Denver Five Things pass:

1. I went to the zoo and saw zebras humping. The other animals were pretty awesome, too.
2. I went to the science museum and learned that there are a lot of rocks in the world. And I saw a mummy.
3. I went to the airplane museum and learned that I really don’t care about airplanes.
4. I went to the botanic gardens and wandered through some nice Japanese gardens. I saw a rainforest plant with leaves that were taller than me.
5. I went to the aquarium and didn’t get soaked by the flash flood simulator. As a kid, I went on many fieldtrips to the aquarium, and we’d always stand by the glass so we’d get splashed. I behaved like an adult this time.
