Okay guys, I'm going to try out something new. Because when I started this blog I had no idea where it was going. I thought I did but in all reality I had no idea where I was going.
Obviously it's taken a little turn in the last few months, less UW and more introspective. I plan on keeping it like this, even when I go back to Wyoming. I'll be there for a year, and then because I'm growing up and making changes with my life, I'm going to move away.
Wyoming has been my light, and the large majority of my life. My family, friends, and some of my favorite places in the world are in that state. And if you aren't from Wyoming you should go visit. I am blessed to live in a country that is so incredibly diverse, and it is only a fraction of the world.
Getting back to the something new. I've come to realize that everyone advocates for a slant on your blog. Well mine is me. And I'm completely unapologetic about it. I'm not just into politics, or fashion, or comics, or books, or travel. I love all of those, and some other crazy things.
So for now I'm going to try and do it one Friday a month (hopefully the last one!), but I'll bring you something I love, call it Kaite's knick-knacks. This is coming out now because I was busy with events and travelling this weekend.
So here is my grand reveal of Bookaholic's Backroom, where I'll give recommendation's and review of books I've been reading recently. Over the last month or so I've been reading A Light in the Ruins by Chris Bohjalian
I truly enjoyed this book, a bit outside of my normal tastes and tendencies, the cover drew me in (I try not to let that happen too often) and I'm glad that I decided it needed to come home.
Set during at after WWII in Italy, it follows a family through the struggles of the war and the killer that haunts them ten years later. It made learning about the family as important as possible to the reader, wanting you to uncover their darkest secrets, while leaving you rooting for a happy ending.
I guessed the killer about halfway through, but I blame that on my mother and the copious amounts of CSI and NCIS that I watched growing up. I think my favorite part was even though you time hop, and even hear the killer's thoughts that are ongoing, you still don't find out why, and what the darkest secret they had been hiding until the end.
I certainly couldn't put it down for long, and I would recommend this good read. It's fairly quick but that made it even better for me.
Overall I'll give it a B+ because while the family is the center of the story, the main character, the detective, isn't as real to me as the rest of the characters even though I really liked her. Also because I guessed the killer.
Let me know how you like it!
