Here&#8217;s my update for February&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>03. <i>General&#8217;s Daughter<\/i> by Nelson DeMille, 512 p<br \/>\nI am loving Nelson DeMille&#8217;s books right now. This is an engaging and actually, really <i>sad<\/i> military detective story. I loved all the layers to the mystery and just COULD NOT put it down. Highly recommended.<br \/>\n04. <i>School of Dreams<\/i> by Edward Humes, 400 p<br \/>\nI only read this book because it&#8217;s about my former high school (a small public magnet school in southern CA &#8212; Whitney High). I wanted to see what a journalist would have to say about WHS after spending a year amongst the students. It definitely didn&#8217;t capture *my* high school experience but that&#8217;s not what it&#8217;s about. Instead, the book is a study about the reasons for Whitney&#8217;s success and why its students do so well. It&#8217;s an interesting read.<br \/>\n05. <i>A Great and Terrible Beauty<\/i> by Libba Bray, 432 p<br \/>\nThis was recced to me by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.october-girl.org\/wp\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah<\/a>. It was a much darker book than I thought it would be but I loved it. My only complaint is that some things aren&#8217;t fully explained (ie. the purpose of the Order and what Gemma means to them) but I assume that&#8217;s because this book was always meant to have a sequel. I don&#8217;t know if I can wait for <i>Rebel Angels<\/i> to be released in paperback &#8212; I want some answers!<\/p>\n<p>Right now I&#8217;m reading another Nelson DeMille book called <i>Spencerville<\/i>. So far, so good. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OMG. The Project Runway reunion show is HILARIOUS. BEST THING EVER.
