Read both of Jenny Lawson's books recently, Let's Pretend this Never Happened, and Furiously Happy. Both were literally LOL funny with some really insightful descriptions of daily living with mental illness. Highly recommended.

I just started Kids of Appetite by David Arnold. It's a YA story that my 13 year old daughter insisted that I read. She had me read Mosquitoland by the same author last year. It was good for YA fiction. I liked that all the characters had levels of moral ambiguity. I really enjoy reading books that she likes and discussing them with her. Anything to advance her love of reading.

Now if I could only get my 14 year old son to crack a book. I'm amazed and saddened by how little reading is required in high school compared to when I was growing up.
