Based on this genre, someone recommended The Boy in the Striped Pajamas to me. I think I need to gear myself up for it. It's hard to read a lot of Holocaust literature all at once.

Mostly because the mystery was the entire reason I even picked up the book - I didn't realise it was going to be just another crime novel with a slightly mysterious side story.

I think I would like him. Do you have one in particular you'd recommend starting with?<br /><br />I'm Thinking of Ending Things has been on my radar since Jana mentioned it last month. Part of me wants to read it just so I can discuss it with her (and now, you!) but I'm not sure I have the capacity to handle it right now. Or maybe it'll be escapism I need? Who knows.<br /><br />The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is another one that I want to have read, but I'm never feeling emotionally ready to read it! I can deal with heartbreaking stories if it's in the name of great storytelling, so that 5/5 you give it inspires me to bump it up on the list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-16342288416135236962016-08-10T08:51:51.734+10:002016-08-10T08:51:51.734+10:00You killed it with the reading since the last link...You killed it with the reading since the last link-up! :-) When I see longer lists of reviews like this it inspires me to carve more time out for reading. I've been getting caught up in watching The Olympics, Big Brother, and Gilmore Girls (for the millionth time). Whomp whomp.<br /><br />Anyway, books!<br /><br />In the Woods has been on my list for years. I always look for it at Half Price Books and they never have it when I go. NEVER! They only have 2 copies at the library and apparently 9 people are on the waiting list right now. That's not a huge wait, but still ... I need to read other books for challenges (including yours!) first, anyway. Haha. I do love books that don't tie everything up neatly in the end (those are actually my favorite kind!), so I'm sure I'll love this one.<br /><br />Several of these are on my list already, and I'm currently on the waiting list at the library for I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I'm really intrigued by it ... Hopefully I'm not disappointed!<br /><br />I'm adding Salt to the Sea and Cold Granite.
