Actually finished these two books before I started on American Sniper.
In Order to Live, by Yeonmi Park - a memoir on Yeonmi's escape from North Korea through China, Mongolia, to South Korea, and eventually the U.S.
Shatter Me, by Tahereh Mafi - a YA post-apocalyptic sci-fi about a girl with who has the superpower of absorbing strength from others...just like the X-men girl, Rogue. She also has super strength. She can break down metal doors and such. She likes one of the soldier boys who she remembers growing up with. There is another guy, the antagonist, who either really likes her or pretends to like her so he could have access to her powers. In the end she ends up with others who have their own super powers too. Not sure if I'll read the 2nd book. I'm not a big fan of love triangles and wasn't interested in the coddling or almost porn-like touching and kissing. It wasn't realistic especially when the goal was to escape.
