Now that I'm finished with grad school (YAY!), I finally have time to read for fun! Not something that happened a lot in the past year.
I can't say that I have a particular favorite type of book? Honestly, it mostly depends on my mood. But I thought I'd share a few of my faves from the past few months! Mostly fiction with a nonfiction thrown in. I will also throw in links if anyone is interested!
Rich and Pretty: A Novel
I literally finished this one in 2 days on my cruise. The premise is pretty simple - 2 longtime friends - who don't seem to have a whole lot in common - in the city, and how their relationship changes throughout the years. The writing style itself is witty, a real easy yet fascinating read. I totally got invested in this friendship!
Attachments
This one was a gift from friends and I fell in love. A lonely guy whose job it is to keep an eye on the company email for anyone not using it appropriately. And, of course, 2 girls who are allllll about the personal emails. It was one I couldn't put down because I couldn't wait to see what happened. All the characters are really likable and it's a quick moving story!
Beauty Queens
Picture it. A plane full of teen beauty pageant contestants crashes. A pageant sponsored by the biggest corporation in America. What are the stranded teen beauty queens to do? A satirical look at media and its power, this one also has some terrific characters and is hilarious.
And I Don't Want to Live This Life
You may have heard the tragic story of punk rock star Sid Vicious and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. This book is written by Nancy's mother, and details her troubled childhood, her psychological problems, and the pain of raising an extremely troubled daughter that would go on to have her murder splashed all over the papers. A really gripping and intense story.
