Just finished...Currently Reading...Looking Forward To...

I just finished...
The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen [audiobook], I thought this was thought provoking and entertaining. I enjoyed it more than I enjoyed This Lullaby. The main character's, Macey, dad died and now she feels like she has to be perfect for her mom, but that changes when she begins work for Wish, a catering company. Wish and its other employees are a little bit chaotic and like nothing Macey has experienced in a while. I encouarge you to read it if you haven't.

Currenly Reading...
A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, I had heard this was a dark read, which it is, but I am finding a lot of hope in this novel. It is fulfilling my goal of reading at least one non-fiction book per term.
Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo [audiobook], I haven't really read much historical fiction lately and it is good to revisit it once and a while. This book takes place in Europe during World War I or The Great War. Tommo, the narrator of the novel, is fifteen and a soldier for the British military fighting in Belgium (at least that is where he is now). I am finding it interesting, as I usually do when I read historical fiction.

Looking Forward To...
Eldest by Christopher Paolini, The sequel to Eragon has my name on it over break!
A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, I have read it once, but I must re-read it so I'm prepared for book club next month.

What have you all been reading lately?

The discussion of M.T. Anderson's Feed occured yesterday. I was happy to see everyone who attended and participated in the discussion.

Feel free to continue the discussion here...

Violet lists all the things she wants to do before she dies. Do you share any items on the list? What can we learn about her from her list? And what could someone learn about you from your list? (From Candlewick Press' Reader's Guide to Feed)

...I'll post my comments after I hear some discussion from you.

Happy Reading!!
