In Case You Were Wondering...The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
If you think this book has an interesting title, it's because it's quite an interesting book. I recommended this book when you are in a reading slump because not only is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time a pretty quick read, but it switches up the format you are used to when picking up a novel (even by looking at how the chapters are numbered you will understand what I mean). It is so engaging that I devoured the 274 pages in just one sitting. If you are trying to get back into reading, I would highly recommend this be a first pick to help you do so.

In Case You Were Wondering... Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Hello everyone! I have been so excited to share this story with you all, because I think it is absolutely amazing. Station Eleven tells the story of society both before and after a huge pandemic that ends up wiping out most of the earth’s population. Now, in this particular era of the world, I did not think that I would like reading about a pandemic. Usually reading is a way to escape current events, not read more about what is causing so much conflict in the world right now. But this book was very different. It did not dwell on the era when society was collapsing, nor did it focus too much on what the sick people were experiencing as they died from that highly contagious disease. Instead, Emily St. John Mandel told a single story involving many different characters and how their lives were changed- or how they ended. It was riveting from beginning to end, and it baffled me how easily Mandel created these very full and three-dimensional characters while managing to have them all be connected by one person who didn’t even live to see the pandemic happen. I’m not going to give out any details regarding this; I believe the reader deserves to find out what I mean first hand.

In Case You Were Wondering...Who am I?
Hello everyone, my name is Marci Wilson, and I am a major book nerd. Books have been my passion through my childhood and into my adult life, and while my story isn't exactly original, I feel the need to share it here. I was never the most social of children- while I had friends, books have kept me company through many lonely situations. As a child, going to the library was always perceived as a reward due to the number of times my mother has said "Get your housework done and then we can go to the library later" which always prompted my sister and me to speed through the rest of our chores. We would then get to spend the rest of the evening curled up with a stack of books, and to this day I cannot think of a better way to pass the time.
