62. Room – Emma Donoghue

Okay, so Room had been on my reading list for months, and I actually finished it a couple of weeks ago.  I just hadn’t gotten around to posting. :/  I was sorta morbidly curious about this book after reading a review or maybe article sometime earlier this year.  I started reading and it was fascinating and disturbing all at once.  I ended up sneaking peeks to the middle or so after about twenty pages.  I realized that there was no way I could finish this book if there wasn’t going to be some sort of happy-ish ending.  And there was, worry not.  It was ultimately satisfying, despite not sharing all the answers, or not telling us the full story in the end.  It’s from the boy’s perspective, so it would be out of place to go too in depth on the aftermath and public reaction.  The glimpses we got were enough.

I haven’t been reading much else, despite the several library books I’ve got sitting on my pile here.  School has started piling up, and it’s crunch time.  I’ve been in the midst of applying/enrolling to a private university, I’ve got a research paper and exams in one class, and I’m behind on a few projects in my drawing class.  At least this is one more little tick mark I can check off of my to-do list.

In other exciting news, my first freelance work hit the web today.  Yay!
