I finished Moloka’i yesterday.

It was a sad, but uplifting book.  Surprisingly, it also taught me a bit of history since the events (but not the characters) were based on reality.  I’ve never been a history buff, and I’m shamefully unaware of a lot of our nation’s historical events.  I can definitely see why this book has been popular with book clubs.

Next up – I just started reading The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen.  I read This Lullaby earlier, and didn’t think it lived up to the hype.  It wasn’t terrible, but I didn’t fall in love.  My online book club convinced me to give her another try, so I am.  Everyone deserves a second chance, right?
