Recently I've been in a bit of a book rut. I tend to go through spurts where I can't get through books fast enough, and then will take long lulls of not being inspired by any to read. When I saw that Khaled Housseini had come out with a new book,
And The Mountains Echoed, I downloaded it onto my Kindle without even reading the synopsis. After being totally obsessed with A Thousand Splendid Suns and liking The Kite Runner (not as much as Suns, though), I knew that this would be a book to add to my list. At just 50 pages in, I've already cried twice. Sigh.
On a happier note, I also just finished
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. I blew right through this one. I was actually quite indifferent towards her prior to reading her book and only picked it up as a nice, easy read and hoping for a few laughs. Well, I ended up laughing out loud through the whole thing. Defnitely recommend!
