Taking a break from my pop culture homework for some fun mind control, video games and more.
Thanks to the publisher for allowing me an ARC.

Review: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
This book hurt to read. It is the story of Finch and Violet, who meet on the top of the bell tower at school when one of them saves the other one’s life. From there, its a love story. But, it’s also a story about dealing with tragedy and with things that have happened to you. It is also a book about mental illness and suicide. The writing is great. Finch is charming and Violet is awesome. The romance is precious. I’m glad I read it. Behind the cut is spoiler city.
What I’m Reading Now: The Last Speakers by K. David Harrison
I’m already into this book from the description of half travelogue and half journal.

I’m pretty sure that this is just going to make me very, very angry.
What I’m Reading Now: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
A friend of mine noted today that the teen fiction book group at the local B&N is largely made up of people I know. This is what they’re discussing this month and it was available from the library! So, it would be silly to not read it and then go to the book group.

And thus begins the second half of my Pop Culture Homework Assignment!
What I’m Reading Now: Head On by John Scalzi
I really enjoy John Scalzi‘s web presence (I feel like I’ve learned a lot about sandwiches…but maybe I’m confusing him with someone else on twitter? Oh, and kittens. He’s posted some cute kitten pictures on twitter) but I’ve never read any of his books. The book flap said, “stand alone novel” and the library said, “Hot pick! 10-day loans only! No renewals or reserves!” so I picked this up. I mean, I had to, right? It was there. I was there. It was serendipity.
The library really knows what its doing with its marketing.

Well Kate is almost finished with her homework assignment so I guess I better get going on mine. Pretty excited to dive into my sister’s world.
