I finished Marie Manilla's book The Patron Saint of Ugly, and read The Conspiracy, by Paul Nizan as well. Patron Saint is a sweet book that would work well as a YA crossover, about a girl whose family thinks she's a saint. It was bittersweet and moving and kind of crazy. I'm definitely glad I read it. The Conspiracy I was less crazy about. It's exposition-heavy and moved slowly, and in the end I wasn't sure what the point of it was. That one's going on the "sell" pile.
I'm still (still!) working my way through What Ends, which I don't want to end. It's really wonderful.
And I have to start something new this week. I don't know what that's going to be yet.
