Published : 2021 || Format : print || Location : Colombia ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ What was it about the country that kept everyone hostage to its fantasy? The previous month, on its own soil, an American man went to his job at a plant and gunned down fourteen coworkers, and last spring alone there were four different school shootings. A nation at war with itself, yet people still spoke of it as some kind of paradise.. Thoughts : Infinite Country follows two characters - young Talia, who at the beginning of this book, escapes a girl’s reform school in North Colombia so that she can make her previously booked flight to the US. Before she can do that, she needs to travel many miles to reach her father and get her ticket to the rest of her family.

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva @ A Striped Armchair and Marg @ Reading Adventures that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries!
More holds of mine came through, last week! (Together, of course ::groan::). No complaints, this time, since I had been waiting for a couple of them since forever!
- The Help by Kathryn Stockett: I'm reading this one currently, and so far find it true to its promise!
- The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch: The mystery in reverse! I'm not exactly sure when I'll read this, but it should be before the Thursday of next week, since it's due then!
- The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs: I'm reading this with some ladies from a Goodreads club. So far, I've heard mixed reviews about this book, and unwittingly fell upon some spoilers. Anyways, I'll be starting this one too next week.
- City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare: I read this in one sitting, the day I picked it up. It's such a quick read in spite of the 450-odd pages. I'll be reviewing it during the weekend.
