Early Finish: 1:03 a.m. on 3/1

First, my February summary:

1. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
2. Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork
3. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
4. Murder Takes the Cake by Gayle Trent
5. Candor by Pam Bachorz
6. The Hollow by Jessica Verday

I was feeling a little sad about reading only six books in February. Goal for March: ten or more!

In the wee hours of the morning--so it was barely March--I finished reading The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson. It was another book that was tough to read because it was all too possible: what parents wouldn't go to any length to save their child?

Jenna Fox was in an accident. She can't remember much, and she isn't sure about anything. This book is as much about Jenna and her need to figure out her past as it is an exploration of bio-ethics. Although it was written for teenagers, I'd suggest that the real "must read" audience is parents.
