My current read is It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, a young adult book about depression and managing mental illness. It has been made into a much-acclaimed movie. In spite of the subject matter, it's a light-hearted book with plenty of humour. While the thought processes and experiences of Craig, the main character with depression are quite different than mine, Ned Vizzini wrote from his own experience and tragically succumbed to his own depression at age 32.  ...

I am really enjoying a new (to me) book from Jim Butcher, The Cinder Spires: The Aeronaut's Windlass. I've read a couple of the Dresden Files series before, but this is the first in the Cinder Spires series. This new world of crystal-powered airships, pirates, and warrior cats is the best fantasy I've read in a long time. There is enough undiscovered backstory and possibilities to sustain several series. ...

I've read a few of Charles Todd's Ian Rutledge mysteries in the last year, and quite enjoy this Scotland Yard Inspector's adventures, including the ever-present second voice in his head, a remnant of the shell-shock he suffered from his service during WWI.
