Weekly Wrap Up 2

I've read 4 books this week.

The first was a graphic novel called Descender by Jeff Lemire. It was a fun sci-fi but I felt there were too many storylines and it just didn't grip me. I won't be continuing. I gave it 2 stars.

The next was My Name is Leon by Kit de Waal. This was a highly anticipated read because I love family sagas and felt it was going to be perfect. It started off strong but kinda petered out at the end. I feel my high hopes were not met. I gave it 3.5 stars.

Then I read Bird Box by Josh Malerman. This is not my typical book since I hate scary books/movies/anything but I LOVED this. The suspense was awesome and the ending was quite shocking. I wanted to know more about the creatures though. I gave it 4 stars.

Lastly, I read Sold by Patrick McCormick. I found the movie on Amazon and wanted to watch it but decided to read the book first. It is a book about a young girl growing up in rural Nepal who is sold by her stepfather into prostitution. It is incredibly sad. I felt the ending was a little weak and therefore decided to give it 3 stars.

I was nervous after my stellar readathon that I would be burnt out but I felt like I still read a lot.
