| A brutal short read --though I admire the writer for taking this approach --speculative fiction-- to a devastating historical event in China during WWII at a Japanese-run concentration camp. I'd pair this one with a large glass of wine. ...more | |

Yes!! I hope you find compelling... best, Caroline
Thanks for the recommendation. Before My Eyes is on my TBR list. It's been on it for a while now. I just need to find it. :)
Yes! Wizard of Oz is a definite favorite.

Hi!! You said to let you know ... new novel - BEFORE MY EYES - coming out in February, 2014!!! More soon!!
I just want you to know that it has been one or two weeks since I have read Lie, and I can't stop thinking about it.I have read a lot of forgettable books this year, but Lie isn't one of them. Lie is a book that sneaks up on you. You don't realize the impact it has made until weeks after you've put it down. Young adult novels are sometimes overlooked because adults don't take them seriously. I'm going to make my foster sister read it.
I can't wait until you write something else. Please let me know once you finish a new novel.
very dark and cool blog. I liked Matched -- and I see you're highlighting the sequel but not nearly as much as other series like Hunger Games!!
