I've also read a lot of books either written in French or set in France while I get into the mindset of my current novel which should be finished in first draft in the next month. I'm currently reading Neil Spring's "The Lost Village".

After this, I'll be focusing on books I need to read for teaching including "1984", "Lord of the Flies", "The Handmaid's Tale", "The Hunger Games" and "Delerium"(less)

Loved this book as a subjunctive history book; it's along the lines of 11-22-63 by Stephen King, but this is better because it's more about the aftermath of changing history, rather than the anticipation of the event. ...more
