This is my first day back in the U.S. after traveling around South Korea for 2.5 weeks. Because the weather during the first half of the trip was rainy, I read a lot more than I usually do during a vacation. So this WWW Wednesday covers my last three weeks’ worth of reading.

What have you just finished reading?
What are you going to read next?

The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the hop on February 15, 2013. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
