		<description><![CDATA[Last year Kenny decided to upgrade his Kindle to the 3G&#8230; so I got his 2G and I have been loving it! I ordered a pink leather Mivisu flip case from eBay that works perfectly. Even with the case, it has a thin profile (only 1/2&#8243; thick!) and the flip design lets it stand up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What an incredible story of endurance, survival, torture and heroism. Such a compelling story but dragged out by the level of detail the author brings in. At times in the book I feel like I am living [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I finally got through this book &#8211; it is a fictional novel that is based on historical figures, the Dominican Mariposa sisters. The author herself is Dominican and her family left as political refugees. Through research she found her family&#8217;s life crossed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a super quick read (took me a week) after taking forever on my last book. A unique take on a tragic love story with a sub-plot diversion. Very well written, very introspective. Narrator and main character Paul was very well developed, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking for Jake: Stories by China Miéville
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I came into this book not really knowing Mieville&#8217;s style. These stories were all dark and several had a post-apocalyptic feel. Not necessarily a feel-good series of short-stories but not all books should be. Since the subject was not light and airy I will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Interesting concept but I struggled with the idea that the narrator, a murdered 14 year old girl, could be so seemingly nonchalant about her murder. I would have liked to see more dimensionality in her character, more anger, less acceptance. A good idea and relatively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Identical Strangers: A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited by Elyse Schein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fascinating true-story recounted by the twins themselves. Separated at birth and adopted by separate families who were not aware they were adopting one half of a set of twins, Paula &#38; Elyse find each other in their early [...]]]></description>

I was hesitant at first about switching to the Kindle but it has won me over in one major way&#8230; it&#8217;s so slim and compact that it fits in my purse better [...]]]></description>

I read her Time Quartet when I was in late elementary/early middle school and devoured several more of her books that were not in the series. I had Kenny buy me the series again a couple of years but they had been collecting [...]]]></description>
