  1. I recently finished a book filled with mystery and suspense titled Leaving Time by Jodi Piccoult. The main character, Jenna, is a young girl trying to find her mother who disappeared when she was working as a scientist at an elephant sanctuary. The book was filled with non fiction facts about elephants and their ability to feel emotion like humans, very interesting! I'm also reading Baby 411, a non fiction book all about taking care of newborns! Next, I plan to read Goldfinch, a book recommended to me by many friends. I started it a while ago but then left it so now I plan to restart and enjoy! It is also supposed to be full of mystery, suspense and a lot of information about the art world. Please tell me what you are reading about!

    1. Mysteries make me think Hmmm... they make me retrace my steps, surprise me, help me connect to other books, and altogether the whole story helps me think of a verdict.

  2. I am currently reading The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein. It is the first book in The Lord of the Rings series, and takes place in Middle-Earth. It is quite an enjoyable novel, and very complicated. Overall, it is an amazing book!
