Finished Whereabouts which is a very short and good read.
I just started Eternal for a book club. I am finding it great reading.
I had no idea what it was about-it is set in Italy in the late 1930's and is so far ( at like 15%) told from the point of view of 3 high school friends.
I've never read anything by Lisa Scottoline so this is a first for me, and I can see why she is so popular.

Default Barbara Kingsolver's "Unsheltered"

I gave it all five stars.

A beautiful story that begins with heartbreaking tragedy and ends with hopeful promise. After all these years, Kingsolver continues to expand my perspective and lighten my heart.

Next Up: "Deep Sleep," by Steven Konkoly

Hope you enjoy it! Somehow, I don't think I've read "All the Light we Cannot See" it's going on my next library order!

A powerful book; I'm 3/4 of the way through. I had never heard of this author before.
