What are you currently reading?

I have only just begun this memoir, so I do not yet have any commentary.

What did you recently finish reading?

  

This book truly moved me. Especially the section on Rwanda and the people’s attempts to heal from the 1994 genocide. I truly felt like a part of a whole when I read this. At the same time, I felt complicit in my ignorance about the details and extent of the genocide. This book really sparks the part of me that thrives on implementing social change. 

What do you think you’ll read next?



I downloaded sample chapters to my Kindle from...

and

Both are books on Rwanda after the genocide. I can’t believe I knew so little about this atrocity until picking up Terry Tempest Williams’ book. I want to try them out before making a purchase.

Sorry to Ann Patchett's Truth and Beauty, which remains shelved for now.

WWW Wednesdays

Things have been a little crazy this week with medical issues for the littlest and the almost-loss of his insurance, so I skipped Travel Tuesdays. However, things have seemingly calmed down. With the exception of a string of events this morning at the hospital that—in retrospect—are humorous but were not at the time. See Zane’s blog if you’re interested in the story and his goings on.

Anyway, today is WWW Wednesdays, a weekly meme hosted by the wonderful MizB at Should Be Reading.

I LOVED (yes, the shouting is intentional) her book Refuge. Terry Tempest Williams is such an eloquent and evocative writer. Plus, she often weaves nature into her writing, which I absolutely adore. This has been on my shelf for quite some time; I am not sure why I haven’t picked it up sooner.

What did you recently finish reading?

I could not put this down! It was really that good! I bought Catching Fire, too. But I need to process The Hunger Games a little while longer before delving into book #2.

Okay, this is so not my type of book. But it was on sale at Waldenbooks due to their going-out-of-business liquidation. So I gave it a try. It showed the world inside reality TV (it is fiction, though), but there was little depth of character and oh-so-much telling and not showing. I wanted to like this book, but I really didn’t feel connected to it in any way.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Hmmmm…I really need to get around to Truth & Beauty by Ann Patchett. It has been on my to-read list before.
