This Week in Books

This Week in Books is a weekly meme hosted by Lipsyy Lost and Found. In this post I look back on a book I've finished, highlight one I am currently reading, and one I will read in the near future. What are you reading these days?

THEN: I finished The Banker's Wife by Cristina Alger. It was an engaging read, but felt a little over-the-top towards the last third or so. You can find my full review here.

NOW: I am almost finished with Dopesick by Beth Macy. It tells a harrowing series of stories, and is by no means a light read. That being said, it is well researched, told in a very human, compassionate way and absolutely worth reading.

NEXT: I would like to end the year of a high note, and so I think I will finally read Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne, which I've been sort of saving for a special reading treat. I just hope it lives up to expectations!
