I'm currently working on All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. This little book (545 pages, according to Amazon) is a Pulitzer Prize winner. I don't read a lot of war stories, but this one intrigued me. Two children whose lives are on a collision course. Opposite sides of the war, connected by radio waves, but unknown to each other. It's been a pretty good book so far, though the multiple points of view from multiple timelines can be confusing at times.  ...

Trapped in a cycle of abuse and manipulation, Ronnie attempts to escape her past and build a stable future for herself. A heartbreaking story and powerful message. ...

Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series is new to me, and I'm glad I picked this one up. The Dead in their Vaulted Arches is apparently #6 in the series, though Amazon doesn't tell you the volume number, so you have to go to another site to find out! I am enjoying reading about this precocious little poisoner—er, amateur detective—and her family, friends, and enemies. Flavia is in the sad circumstance of trying to solve her long-lost mother's murder, but she seems to be up to the task.  ...

I picked up the second book in Lois Lowry's Giver Quartet, Gathering Blue. Lowry has a way with words, and I am quite enjoying the story. I love her characters and the way she describes the communities they live in. It's easy to fall in love with Kira and young Matt.  ...

I just finished a new (to me) James Patterson thriller, Private Down Under. I have read a couple of the other Private books, and quite enjoyed them. This one wasn't quite up to the same standard as the usual Private titles. There were three separate cases, and I thought that at some point they were going to intersect, but they did not. They were just three separate, unrelated cases. Besides that, there was a strange combination of metric and Imperial measurements in the book. ...
