What's new this past week?
Emma Donaghue is coming to PEI in April, to promote her new book, Paris Express. To PEI! I've already booked my free tickets. She's on my MRE list, I can't believe she's coming to little ol' PEI.
Not reading, but I watched a movie based on a book, Women Talking by Miriam Toews, and directed by Sarah Polley, who's memoir I really enjoyed last year, Run Towards the Danger. The movie was very good, very atmospheric, and infuriating- patriarchy and religion all mixed up. I read the book about 5 years ago, and felt the same.
Books Read:
Poemsia - Lang Leav
A young adult book set in Australia, where a young girl becomes famous through social media for her poetry. Since social media, there is also online bullying. This was from YA Sync free audiobooks that I am gradually working through.
The Stranger Diaries - Elly Griffiths (ebook)
It's exciting to start a new series, and Harbinder Kaur did not disappoint. I love trying to anticipate which characters will continue on to the next book. Lots of gothic atmosphere, lots of murder, interesting back and forth point of views. With only 4 books in this series, so far, I expect to enjoy this year of catching up.
Colored Television - Danzy Senna
I read this one because it is on the Tournament of Books shortlist, but I won't remember it next month. It might be a book that I understand/enjoy more once I've read some other explanations and reviews. I don't always see the layers or meanings in some ToB entries.
