Short and Sweet Version Laura Hillenbrand knows how to write a non-fiction memoir that is just as compelling as the best fiction out there. Skip the movie and read Unbroken.

My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
