Five Books at One Time

I usually don’t read more than one book at a time, but I currently have five books going. In no particular order, they are…

• The Maze Runner by James Dashner
• On the Bus with Rosa Parks by Rita Dove
• The Unfinished World and Other Stories by Amber Sparks
• Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley
• Overture by Yael Goldstein

I am enjoying all of them so far except the first, which is so full of its own particular slang that I can hardly keep straight what anything means. Plus, the characters are mean and the situation tense. It probably won’t get any better, but I’ll give it a fair chance.
