Looking for young adult fiction...
Try the Hunger Games and the sequel Catching Fire.
I just finished the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, recommending it to everyone.

Hi,
Just finished "Genesis" by Karin Slaughter

Just started "Son of Hamas"

I also have a big number of sound books I listen to while quilting. Just finished listening to another Donna Leon book in her Brunetti series called "A Noble Radiance"

"The Shack" was great, bought several copies in Norwegian as gifts for friends.

Jeffery Deaver is a favorite

It was a great trip especially after reading her books.

I agree with visiting a place after you read a book about it...seems to bring it to life and if its really good you can almost live in the book for a while! I did that with Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil...takes place in Savannah, and is based on a true story. It was also made into a movie starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack, directed by Clint Eastwood.
