Is there anything more perfect than reading a wonderful book on a cold rainy day with a wonderful cup of hot chocolate next to you? No there isn't! Today I did just that! Books for a rainy day:
Moloka'i, Alan Brennert: on a whim I decided to read this book because it related somewhat to my Hawaiian culture, it ended up being a fantastic read. It centers on young girl named Rachel Kalama who at a very young age comes down with Leprosy, and is sent to the island of Moloka'i because of the disease. The book then focuses on her life on the island and her struggle to be a regular girl, when so many distrust her because of her disease. It's an awesome story and will make you feel the injustice of sending the people to the island, and the treatment they received. I definitely recommend this if you just want to truly lock yourself away for a day.
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, Katherine Howe: This book is also an excellent choice if you want to hide yourself inside on a rainy day. It has all the ingredients for a good read: magic, witches, present times, and a little dose of the past you will truly like this story if you're up for a little magic. :)
I'm sure there will be plenty more rainy days, and don't worry there will be more good reads for these days!
Till Next Time
