At the moment I am reading Beast Quest. Also, I like the authors Jeremy Strong and Roald Dahl. In Beast Quest, Tom a young boy, fights mythical creatures. There are so many series of Beast Quest with lots of mythical creatures.

Reading "In the Garden of the Beast" about the US Ambassador and his faimily in Germany right after Hitler took over in 1933, 34.
I enjoyed this book very much. It gave an interesting look inside the workings of the politics and diplomacy at the time. Since reading it I have read more about the Ambassador's daughter.

I recently finished Room by Emma Donoghue. It was disturbing and I had to push myself at times to keep reading. However, the overall story is uplifting in that the mother and son maintain their relationship and seem to be able to move on.
