All The Bright Places by Jessica Niven Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.

Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.

When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.

Burial Rites by Hannah Kent  In northern Iceland, 1829, Agnes Magnúsdóttir is condemned to death for her part in the brutal murder of two men. Agnes is sent to wait out the time leading to her execution on the farm of District Officer Jón Jónsson, his wife and their two daughters. Horrified to have a convicted murderess in their midst, the family avoids speaking with Agnes.

Only Tóti, the young assistant reverend appointed as Agnes’s spiritual guardian, is compelled to try to understand her, as he attempts to salvage her soul.

As the summer months fall away to winter and the hardships of rural life force the household to work side by side, Agnes’s ill-fated tale of longing and betrayal begins to emerge. And as the days to her execution draw closer, the question burns: did she or didn’t she?

6. If you could be anywhere else right now, where would it be? In New Zealand visiting all the beautiful places there

7. If you could pick a decade to travel back in time to, what would it be?
 I don't know if I'd want to go back? but maybe to the future by a couple of decades? 

8. If you won millions of dollars in the lottery, what would you spend it on first?
 My family sponsors (I don't think this is the word) a town of kids in Sri Lanka every year, giving them the resources they need for the year and basically helping them to live because they're really poor and sometimes don't even have a roof over their head. So I'd put at least half a million into an account so that I could use that money to help them and it'd collect interest over the time in between.
