Published : 2021 || Format : print || Location : Colombia ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ What was it about the country that kept everyone hostage to its fantasy? The previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different school shootings.

So after a few good weeks, my mailbox has been slowing down. I'm taking it as a good thing, because I do need to put my shelf into perspective and read more. I got two books this week, both of which I am very excited about.
Right now, Room by Emma Donoghue is probably one of the most talked about books. I don't usually go by the Booker or the Pulitzer raves. I like to read about them and then put them on my TBR, but by the time I pick the book to read, it could be ages. Which is why I wasn't initially interested in Room. But then all the hype around this book made me not want to miss out on it. Oh yeah, I know how the hype usually has the opposite effect on me when I actually start reading the book. But, I still like to have the option to read it. This one came to me thanks to an awesome blogger buddy - Danielle @ There's a Book. She had two copies of this book, and was kind and wonderful enough to give me one of them! Yay!

Have you read any of these books?
