Success!

So, I did succeed in my challenge for this week, though not in the two books I had listed; while I did finish We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families by Philip Gourevitch, which was about the genocide in Rwanda; however, instead of finishing Rebel Angels, I reread The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen.
We Wish to Inform You was absolutely fascinating, and definitely a book I think everyone should read. Seriously. Go check it out right now. (Okay, so maybe don't read it if you're really emotional and are going to have some serious, May-from-The-Secret-Life-of-Bees-esque trouble reading about genocide)
It was just...gaaah, it sounds really horrible and boring but informative. And horrifying, in some ways worse than the Holocaust. Because we all grew up with the Holocaust, you know? We know its story. But this was completely different, and new.

Anyway, the second book I just recently bought, and I love Sarah Dessen beause she writes stories with happy endings (usually) involving love. The only exceptions to this are Dreamland and Someone Like You. And possibly some others, which I haven't read...like her two most recent (although, they definitely look like they have a happy ending). And That Summer, which I'm kind of too scared to read for fear of an unhappy ending.
So The Truth About Forever is probably my favorite of her books, though This Lullaby and Just Listen are pretty good too...anyway, I cried, again, because that's what I do.

And the final news of the day: I went to the pharmacy beacause I needed construction paper for making Valentines, and as I was walking I was sort of going over what I want to say in my commentary, because I think better if I can walk and talk it out, and as I was crossing the street I looked up and some lady pushing a stroller was staring at me. So...yup, I am that crazy person who talks to themselves.

(A final ps. I don't know why, but I've noticed that I can't paste into Blogger when I'm editing. I can cut and copy, but when I try to paste it just doesn't work. It's getting to be quite annoying.)
