Thoughtful Thursday

The wonderful world of books enriches our lives by giving us the opportunity to experience, well pretty much anything one can imagine! We can be transported to a new time or place, experience pure joy or extreme sadness, become a president or a slave etc. etc.

Where has your book taken you this week? What have you learned?

Comment then post a link to this post on your blog for others to find their way here and join in on the fun :)

This week I finished Bending Toward the Sun by Leslie Gilbert-Lurie. I was in Poland and California reliving the life of a Holocaust survivor. It was depressing at times but worth it just to get a glimpse at the impact not only on a survivor but on generations to come.

Now I'm back in high school, falling for the 'bad' guy reading Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. Oh the memories! Funny how, after almost 2 decades, it feels like just yesterday :)

    I can't wait to read Hush Hush.

    I just read (my review is going up in the next day or two) My Fair Godmother so I was a modern day teenager stuck in the middle ages by her not so good fairy godmother.

    Fun feature btw.

    I have been a little boy in a Graveyard for a few days, but you already know that! LOL!

    Now I'm back into The Name of the Wind by Rothfuss.-- I'm Kvothe, going through life hard, but using my brains to get out of a bad situation while plotting revenge all at the same time. Awesome book!
    -----------------

    By the way, I'm a new follower nice blog!
