Finished a Dance with Dragons. While the middle dragged a bit the ending more than made up for that. Excellent book.

I'm about halfway through The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers. It's written by an US war veteran about 2 soldiers trying to stay alive in Iraq. It's quite sad but the writing is beautiful.

I finished "These Things Hidden". It was pretty good for what it was. Not amazing writing or deep character development but it was fast-paced and entertaining. A good beach read! (Says the girl who read it while buried under a down comforter at 10 o'clock at night on a 15 degree night.)

Next up is Bernadette! Just picked it up yesterday.

I finished The Yellow Birds. Very good, but very sad.

I'm about halfway through Wonder by R.J. Palacio. It's geared toward middle school kids. It is about boy with a terrible facial deformity going to school for the first time in 5th grade. It's sad and funny at the same time.

I loved Wonder. A little cliched with the ending but that's ok.

Now on to The People Who Eat Darkness. By Richard Lloyd Parry. It ps a true story of a 20 something British female that disappeared in Japan.

That sounds interesting, Mellen. Let me know how you like it.

I'm halfway through Bernadette. LOVE it. It's hilarious! I can totally see why all of us crabby introverts love this book.
