I read Drama High, which follows a high school drama teacher who takes his students to heights that might seem impossible for their impoverished town. Then I got sucked into The Edge of Lost, which is billed as a mystery at Alcatraz but it's really more about what it is like as an immigrant and what it means to choose your family.
I ran out of steam (or time) partway through last week, but I did link up with Trish to share A Day in the Life and I reviewed The Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway.
The plan for this week is to read Kristopher Jansma's Why We Came To The City, which I started last night and am enjoying very much. Next up is The Girl From Everywhere.
What are you reading this week?
The Edge of Lost is on my list. It sounds like you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great read! I hope you enjoy it too.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful way to spend a day off! We could use a down day like that.
ReplyDeleteThe Edge of Lost and Drama High both sound especially good. Enjoy your books this week -

Sometimes you can feel that everyone just needs a quiet day. It will certainly make the rest of this week easier to tackle.
DeleteHope you have a great week, Sue!
Is Drama High nonfiction? Those sorts of books are so much more inspiring if they're actually true! Happy Easter! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is nonfiction! It's written by a former student who is now a journalist.
DeleteThe Girl from Everywhere looks intriguing, going to read more about it, hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSo far it's pretty good. I started it yesterday!
DeleteYay, I'm so glad you're enjoying Why We Came to the City so far. I think it's my favorite book I've read this year.
ReplyDeleteI loved it a lot. Have you read his earlier novel?
DeleteI so want to read The Edge of Lost.
ReplyDeleteI hope your reading week has been good.
