City of Glass

by Cassandra Clare

Book 3 in The Mortal Instruments series.  I keep thinking the next book will be a little disappointing, but each one is captivating, interesting, and hard to put down.  Clary, Simon, Jace, and the rest are still battling Valentine and his minions.  They are faced with difficult choices, family crises, and of course, young love, awww.  Definitely worth reading and sharing with others!

NEW LIST OF BOOKS!

So, I just found a GREAT list on GoodReads. It is a list of suggested books for book clubs. I'm in a book club, but like to read more than one book each month. I thought this would be a good place to start reading books that aren't necessarily in the Young Adult Fiction section at the library (although I will still read those, too). There were too many to add to my "to reads" list on the side of my blog, so I thought I'd list them all here! Enjoy!

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger

The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

Room by Emma Donoghue

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier

The Color Purple by Alice Walker

I only got through the first 100 on the list...these are the ones I haven't already read and would like to...Look Out Librarian!!!

My Abandonment

by Peter Rock

I had no idea what this book was about, but was intrigued by this comment on the back cover: "This beautiful, strange novel takes us into the foreign country where those called homeless are at home, the city is wilderness, and the greater wilderness lies beyond. Fascinating and moving, it tells with great tenderness how human love goes wrong." - Ursula K. LeGuin

I didn't know what that meant, but after reading the book there's no better way to describe this story. 2-3 "F" words (in context, but still...).

I am still pondering different parts of this story, even after putting it down.
