I'm about to start reading 'Room' by Emma Donoghue

In many ways, Jack is a typical 5-year-old. He likes to read books, watch TV, and play games with his Ma. But Jack is different in a big way--he has lived his entire life in a single room, sharing the tiny space with only his mother and an unnerving nighttime visitor known as Old Nick. For Jack, Room is the only world he knows, but for Ma, it is a prison in which she has tried to craft a normal life for her son. When their insular world suddenly expands beyond the confines of their four walls, the consequences are piercing and extraordinary. Despite its profoundly disturbing premise, Emma Donoghue's Room is rife with moments of hope and beauty, and the dogged determination to live, even in the most desolate circumstances. A stunning and original novel of survival in captivity, readers who enter Room will leave staggered, as though, like Jack, they are seeing the world for the very first time.

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!!

I got a Kindle for Christmas too and did you know that TODAY they announced a new "book sharing" program?!!!!!

YES! If you bought a Kindle book, you can "loan" it to a friend for up to 2 weeks!!!!! It's a one-time deal and not all books are eligible for sharing (it's up to the publisher), so I'd LOVE to start a sharing list! WEEEE!

This is probably going to be next on my list too! I heard an interview with the author on NPR one day at work and her thought process behind the book was pretty fascinating
