Hey everyone, I thought it would be fun to find out what everyone is reading right now! So tell us all what book you’re reading and how you’re liking it. I’ll start:

I’m reading This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper. I’m only about 50 pages in but I think I like it so far. I especially like the writing style.

Havent read that but I'm reading The Fault In Our Stars. Its sooo good but soo sad. They made a movie of it and I want to go see it soon

I've read The Fault In Our Stars, marceline! I really enjoyed it. You're right though, it was a pretty tragic story. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm afraid to; I think I'd sob my way through the entire thing!

I'm actually reading one of my son's summer reading books! It back cover looked so interesting: The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis. So far, it's really good :-)

From Scholastic.com

"The Breadwinner brings to life an issue that has recently exploded in the international media: the reality of life under the Taliban. Young Parvana lives with her family in one room of a bombed-out apartment building in Kabul, Afghanistan. Because he has a foreign education, her father is arrested by the Taliban, the religious group that controls the country. Since women cannot appear in public unless covered head to toe, or go to school, or work outside the home, the family becomes increasingly desperate until Parvana conceives a plan. She cuts her hair and disguises herself as a boy to earn money for her family. Parvana's determination to survive is the force that drives this novel set against the backdrop of an intolerable situation brought about by war and religious fanaticism."
