Friend Makin' Mondays: Are You A Bookworm?
1) How often do you read? I'm almost always reading something...
2) What's the last book you read and loved? The last book I read was Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. I was completely in love with this book. It's about the huge round-up and deportation of Jews in Paris during WWII. The events were horrible, but the insight and emotion of the story was breath-taking.
3) What book(s) are you currently reading? I am almost finished reading The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran. I read another of her books, Nefertiti, a couple of years ago. I loved it, so when I saw this one at the store, I grabbed it. It's a (fictional) story about Nefertiti's niece, Nefertari. I am fascinated with Egyptian history. It was such a unique culture. I've just devoured this book and will finish it soon.
4) Share a few of your favorite authors. Oh wow, where to start? You know what, the list is ridiculously long. It's best not to make you read that many names.
5) What's next on your list of must-reads? My reading list is soooo long. I can't wait to read Two Kisses for Maddy by Matt Logelin. It just came out last month. His wife died just after childbirth from a pulmonary embolism. When I first started reading his blog, he was talking about this crazy idea of writing a book. I've been a faithful blog reader of his throughout the writing of the book (much of that was done in India) and beyond. His daughter is so beautiful and sweet. It's wonderful that he has been brave enough to share his life with others.
Other books I want to read include Devil at My Heels by Louis Zamporini, Escape from Davao by John Lukacs, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, A Secret Kept by Tatiana de Rosnay,...the list goes on and on and on. So, yeah. I would say that I'm a bookworm.
