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.

I was really sad to hear about Cory Monteith. He was my favorite character from Glee too.
You have so many good books coming up. I thought In the Garden of Beasts was fantastic. And Eleanor & Park? SWOON.

Many say they will push the season back so that Lea can mourn since she was his in real life girlfriend. I never watched the show faithfully but I've seen enough to know how sad this loss is.
