What I'm Reading Wednesday - The Handmaid's Tale, Please Understand Me II, and The Raven Boys

School is really starting to get underway for me...and my writing, my reading and this blog are taking the hit because of it :(. 

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

Mmm, this is really starting to hold my attention and keep me from sleep. Also, I love how Atwood only uses quotation marks in certain situations, though it does take some getting used to. Time is a much more fluent thing in her books, and therefore it has to be more structured as well. 

Please Understand Me II by David Keirsey

I'm reading through the section on relationships between certain personality types right now. It's definitely giving me a lot of fodder for my writing (as well as advice for my personal life, haha). 

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (audio)

Let's just say, I feel like I should stick to books I'm rereading when I go audio. There's too many details to catch otherwise. Still, I'm going to try to power through this one! (Or maybe order the e-book version from the library instead...)

What I'm Reading Wednesday - The Handmaid's Tale, Please Understand Me II, A Light in the Attic, and The Raven Boys

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

Oooh, I do love a good Margaret Atwood dystopia (Oryx and Crake, anyone?). I'm still somewhere in the first ten chapters of this one, and though I'm slightly confused and lost I have a feeling that this is exactly where Atwood wants me to be. I'm trusting her to lead me through this made-up, slightly terrifying world in one piece (or several, really, that's fine too).  

Please Understand Me II by David Keirsey

Still making my way through this one! I've been jumping around a lot. 

A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein

My dog is still enjoying being read the poetic stylings of Shel Silverstein before bed. I enjoy reading them too. 

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater (audio)

I just started listening to this in the car yesterday afternoon, so I'm not too deep in yet. However, I read her SHIVER series and loved it, so I have high hopes.
