I also loved this series by Misty Moncur. It's based around the time of Helaman's Stripling Warriors, from a girls point of view. It's probably aimed at the teen fiction genre, but I really loved it.

Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend - told from the view of an imaginary friend of a boy on the spectrum.

It's a quick read though, so it probably won't get your through a really long road trip.

Right now I'm reading Ready Player One, recommended by Robin as one of her favorite reads last year. It's really good too. Fun blend of science fiction and 80s pop culture.

I just finished You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz. It's about a therapist who writes a book about how women should recognize the faults in the men in their relationship... and then realizes her husband has been having an affair and killed the other woman. It's not a mystery but more a study of woman whose life falls apart. It was one of those books I had trouble putting down and when it was over, I wanted more.

The Green Rider series by Kristin Britain. I wasn't really expecting to like this one, but I ended up loving it. I think it would be a huge hit if she didn't write so stinking slow.

I am getting ready to read the latest in the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. I have loved every single book in the series starting with the Eyre Affair.

The Fall of Giants by Ken Follet - it's all about WWI - follows 5 families and how they are all interconnected. Also enjoyed the sequel - a Winter of the World. That one is all about WWII. I'm loving this era of books right now.

Oh - just finished The Heretic's Daughter all about the Salem Witch trials and one family affected. Enjoyed that one.

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor



I completely and utterly adored this book. I just finished rereading it so that I could finally read then 2nd (Days of Blood and Starlight) to be ready for when the 3rd comes out April 8. Her writing is so lyrical and beautiful.

Blurb (this is YA):

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

Cutting for Stone is probably my favorite book of all-time. When I was done I wanted to just carry it around with me instead of putting it back on the bookshelf. I'm nuts. I know.
