I finished Sulle tracce del tesoro scomparso by Bianca Pitzorno, it was a nice and quick read. I was really in the mood for a young adult book.

I just finished "So Many Books, So Little Time" by Sara Nelson. I really really liked it. I kept laughing to myself at so many of the parts of the book, since I could identify with them so easily.

The title is definitely as weird and interesting as the book! I finished Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran, I´m kind of proud that I kept going!

I finished Never let me go by Ishiguro which I enjoyed immensely. I just wish they´d include a CD in the book whenever a song is central to a story.
