Finished #31

I finished Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai last night.  I really liked this book.  It was a very quick read, but a full beautiful story at the same time.  Ha writes in journal entry/poetry style to tell her story in the book.  It's the story of fleeing Vietnam and coming to America.  The poetry tells of the hardships they faced while on the ship and once they arrived in Alabama.  I thought she had wonderful descriptions of meeting new people, experiencing new things, and learning the English language.  The book was sad, but it was also funny and heartwarming at times.

Next up I am starting the first Pretty Little Liars book.  I'm kind of addicted to the tv show on Netflix, so hopefully the book is good too.
