In My Reading Life

 

Last week was not great for reading. I finished exactly 0 books. I read the majority of At The Wolf’s Table by Rosella Postorino, but it wasn’t holding my attention, so I set it aside for now. The plot is nonexistent, and the characters are kind of bland. I am interested in the book’s topic, though! It’s about a group of young women who work as Hitler’s food tasters. They have to taste the food he’s about to eat and then wait to see if they get poisoned. The book is based on real events, which is cool, but I was struggling to stay invested in the story. That’s a “me” problem, not the book’s problem. I think I need a book that’s plot-driven and less depressing right now.

I picked up Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. It’s exactly what I need! It’s fast-paced, unique, and funny. It’s young adult paranormal fiction about a teenage boy who wants to be a brujo and summon the dead. His family won’t let him become a brujo, so of course he does the ceremony behind their backs and accidentally summons the ghosts of his school’s recently murdered bad boy. Chaos ensues. It’s great.

I also started The Good People by Hannah Kent. I love Hannah Kent’s writing style. It’s atmospheric and descriptive. Her other book, Burial Rites, is one of my all-time-favorite historical fiction books. The Good People is about a village in 1800s Ireland. The villagers believe that fairies have kidnapped a child and replaced him with a changeling.

 

 

In The Rest Of My Life

 

Five things that made me happy last week:

 

1. Happy Easter! I hope the bunny brings you lots of candy.
2. (I know for sure the bunny will bring me lots of candy.)
3. I ran 11 miles without stopping. That’s the farthest I’ve ever run. Go, me!
4. I got my first COVID shot. My only side effect so far is a painful arm. I was supposed to go back to full time work last week, but my boss let me delay my start date so I could be partially vaccinated before I’m forced to interact with a billion people. That’s nice.
5. I watched Blown Away on Netflix. It’s a competition show about glass blowing, and it made me wish I was good at art. The glass blowers make beautiful stuff. I recommend this series if you’re interested in art.
