Recently I read Lisa See's Shanghai Girls and wow. The bond between the two sisters May and Pearl is at the heart of this book, and I really enjoyed getting a glimpse into the life of Chinese who moved to America around WWII and after. Warning: it gets dark, but I think it ends on a good note. The story is certainly a testament to human resilience.

Right now, I've finally caved (thanks to spellcoats) and am reading The Hunger Games. I'm not far into it, but I'm really enjoying it!
