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.

MY MONDAY MEMES POST
I'm not sure I could watch the movie version of Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. I know I will sob through it.
Love the sound of The Map Of Time. Will look out for your thoughts on that one.
I'm working on making my reading be less pressure. I find I keep swinging between a voracious reading phase and a reading rut. I'm trying to make it as consistent as possible.
