Faith Among Shadows by Malcolm Leal (a book by a local author)
A fascinating true story about a Cuban soldier searching for God. I knew the man who wrote this book.
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (a book with your favorite color in the title)
I'm more of a "hidden allegory" kind of person, whereas Hawthorne is an "explicit allegory" kind of writer. His books sometimes make for difficult reading, but I thought this was a good book.
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (a book involving a heist)
Interesting story, interesting world. Felt real, tangible.
Also read, but not for the challenge:
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
