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. As we follow Talia’s treacherous journey south, we learn about how she ended up in the reform school in the first place and why half her family resides in the US.

An announcement hidden in all my ramblings in this post! What I did when I wasn't around for two weeksBooks on my nightstand
Last week, I started reading one book that I found very engrossing. In addition, there's another one I started and stopped, so I'll be picking that one up again.
Neuromancer by William Gibson: When Care mentioned that she is planning to read this book, I decided to wait a few weeks to read it with her. Unfortunately, things happened, so I'm only now getting to it, and Care should probably have finished it. But it's a good book, so I'm looking forward to reading it.
The Filter Bubble by Eli Pariser: I had been looking forward to reading this book about online privacy. I tend to tighten my social networks to just as much as I can. And with the tons of ways that websites have been making all kinds of information available - like which song I'm listening to, to what articles I'm reading - I wanted a different look at the internet life. So far, this book is great!

I just read Before I Go to Sleep a few weeks ago. I liked it, but I think I don't read mysteries/thrillers as often as literary fiction because I finish them and that's it. The characters and plots don't stick around in my head like those of other books.
...And cue end of ramblings.
And I hear you on the book pile size. I don't buy a lot - I find it hard to justify buying a book unless I am standing in one of those must-visit bookstores.
