discountchiapet62. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins: Satisfying ending to a great series. There were so many twists that you just didn't know how it was going to end. It tied everything up, without being way too twee like Harry Potter.
63. Blue Pills: A Positive Love Story by Frederik Peeters: A man is smitten with a woman he meets at a party. Three years pass, they meet again and fall in love, but she and her 3 year old son are HIV+. This is their love story.
64. Maus: A Survior's Tale vol. 1: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman: Pulitzer prize winning graphic novel about Vladek Spiegelman's experiences in WWII as a Polish Jew. It's really interesting because of the way the narrative unfolds. Art is shown in the present interviewing his father and then it switches to a flashback. Of course, it's SO sad. The sadness of the war, Vladek's deteriorating health, and shitty relationship with his son make this story so heartbreaking.
65. Maus: A Survior's Tale vol. 2: And Here My Troubles Begin by Art Spiegelman: Vladek Spiegelman's time in Auschwitz and how he survives. Also, his death and how his son copes with it. It touches on the despairing guilt that children of Holocaust survivors feel because their lives were so "easy" compared to their parents. It's so hard to reconcile loving a parent, but not really liking them.
