feeing 'book wormy'

I have been powering through books lately. In the last week I have read “Sarah’s Key” and “Something borrowed”.
I cannot seem to put my kobo down (this leads to way less blogging!).

I absolutely loved “Sarah’s key”. It has been a while that a book touched me the way this one did. My reaction was so visceral. As I read chapter after chapter of the French occupation in world war two and the execution of thousands of Jewish people, I would feel an ache in my belly. And ache of deep sadness.  This book brought tears to my eyes on a few occasions. It was a deep book, extremely devastating but I could not put it down.  I am looking forward to discussing this book!

“Something borrowed” was a great a great book to follow it. Light, fluffy and beachy. A book you could easily read on vacation. It was cute and simple. I enjoyed it. I am looking forward to seeing how they portray it in to a movie (It comes out soon in theaters).


I tend to go through phases with my reading and right now I am being very ‘book wormy’. I am loving it!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
