Number-Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption-Laura Hillenbrand 7/12/15

8/25 done.
Just finished Words of Radiance. Another 5/5 for Brandon Sanderson. The only thing this book is guilty of is keeping me awake late in the night for the last three nights :D

Challenge Completed!!
Thanks this was a lot of fun. I very much enjoyed participating.

* Although 'nuclear' obviously doesn't refer solely to weapons, I justified it because the book was about a nuclear bomb.

I have that on my list for this year (it's a Randomizer challenge requirement). Did you like it? I've seen the ..."
Megan, the book is way better than the movie. In fact, I'm willing to say that this is one of the worst movie adaptations I have ever seen.

Just finished Mort. It was my first Terry Pratchett book, and I really liked it. Looking forward to more of Discworld :D
