I recently read Kissing in America by Margo Rabb which was pretty good. Then I read My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by the author of A Man Called Ove. I enjoyed it but not quite as much as Ove. Now I'm reading Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman.

I am excited to see a good review for Challenger Deep- I've had that one on hold at the library and it's ready to be picked up!<br /><br />StephStephanie Wilson she/her @babystephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703122439142892617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-88737883932379317772015-12-28T20:41:45.787-08:002015-12-28T20:41:45.787-08:00Mosquitoland was just meh for me.

I've added it to my 2016 reading bucket list.<br /><br />Right now I am reading Quarantine series. A little gruesome at times, but so far, I am enjoying them.

My reading this month has ranged from meh to delightful to creepy...<br /><br />1. Welcome to Braggsville: Liked the premise but the execution got bogged down a bit too much for my taste. A group of college students visits the deep south (home for one of them) and cause all sorts of trouble. Thought provoking but not great. <br /><br />2. The One and Only Ivan: I got this to read with my 11yo only to find out his teacher was reading it to their class. So I read it anyway. Sad but touching story. Really good. <br /><br />3. Fates and Furies: I loved it. Loved the hard edge the second half perspective gave to the story. <br /><br />4. Nod: Creepy world in which no one sleeps and everyone goes a little crazy. Loved the subplot dealing with layered meanings of words... and lack of words... and too many words. Read like a short story, including a very abrupt ending.
