What I'm Reading

Second time reading this book, but I don't remember anything about the first time only that I was twenty pages in, idly, and then suddenly sat up and thought, "Wow this is really good." On my second go, I lingered, so I can tell you more: Romy Hall is sentenced to life without parole, the book unfolds in prison, all of it, Romy's thoughts mainly but then other people come crowding in. The Mars Room is where she used to work as a stripper in the outside world, which also contains her small son. That kind of book. RIYL Orange Is The New Black, obviously but more meditative, less story of the week. Also Handmaid's Tale. #bookstagram #mrmbookclub #100in2022 #themarsroom #rachelkushner
