Finished People of the Book: A Novel yesterday, which is going to be our book club book in a couple of months but my colleague recommended it so strongly I had to read it right away. She was right, I absolutely loved it and snuck in chances to read it every time Clara ate or slept all weekend and hated having to put it down. It falls into that smart historical adventure genre which I love — I do love books about books! — and is a great retelling of some pretty awful events in history through the story of the survival of one ancient book.

I finished Colors Insulting to Nature: A Novel (P.S.) a few days ago but didn’t get around to blogging it. Not sure where I heard about this one, but I must have read about it somewhere and put a hold on it at the library because it showed up waiting for me. Its a story of a fame-driven messed up teen — I enjoyed it but am not sure who I would pass it on to.
