A solid 2nd book in the Mistborn series. Picks up right where book 1 leaves off and hits the ground running. Curious to see where the series goes next.

Insightful view into the Beastie Boys. It's a series of essays written by Ad-Rockland Mike D (written after the death of Yauch, the 3rd member of the Beastie Boys). An amazing set of celebrity narrators.

This story follows the life of an upper-class woman in 16th century China from the time she was a girl to and older woman. It's a fascinating glimpse into that society and family. I gained perspectives I hadn't considered before.

Ghost story, mysterious old building and a thriller. A gazillion twists and turns at the end. Requires some suspension of disbelief, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't put it down.
