Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell / another super quick, race-through-it read from Rainbow. I liked this but didn't love it. It might have been that I just read too many Rainbow books in quick succession (sometimes I think you need to take a break from an author to really appreciate them). I did enjoy the background info on what writing fiction is like but I sort of struggle when the love story is sabotaged by a misunderstanding. (As you can probably imagine, Rom Coms tend to grate on me a bit.) Regardless though, this was a fun read.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand / first things, first, people are Obsessed with this book. Obsessed. I posted a photo that had nothing to do with the book and over half the comments were about the book (not a bad thing, just an observation). It's an amazing story. Probably one of The Most Amazing Stories of the last century. The detail was rich, the fear was real, the story was truly alive. I really enjoyed it though it took me a long time to get through it. One thing I'll say, if you're just starting is that (for me) part two (the part where he's at war) felt really slow and I slogged through the details about the planes and who he was with. Hang in there. It becomes a frantic page-turner.
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh / I have been sitting here trying to figure out what to type for a really long time. I enjoyed this book too but it's almost impossible to share my reaons why without spoilers. The character detail in this was just so (painfully) rich. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the very same time. Plus I feel like I learned a lot about topic I didn't know existed (flower meanings) which is always a perk of a fiction book.
On my nightstand right now : Yes Please by Amy Poehler & Lev Grossman's The Magicians triology.
what about you?
enJOY it
