The Source of Trouble by Debra Monroe
I finished reading “The Source of Trouble” by Debra Monroe. This is an amazing short story collection. Check out an essay about the book here and her nonfiction about Christmas here.
Goals for 2014

Journal Complete!
This completes my thirteenth journal. Maybe I will give Anais Nin a run for her money after all.
Allegiant
I’ve finished reading the series by Veronica Roth. If you’ve read The Hunger Games, I think you would also enjoy this series.
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
I finished reading “Insurgent” by Veronica Roth. Currently on book three.
Divergent by Veronica Roth
I’ve heard about “Divergent” by Veronica Roth a while back and put it on my to-read list. But after seeing the movie trailer when I went to see the new Hobbit film, I went to the bookstore. I finished the book in less than 24 hours. Now on to book two.
