"I agree! I just read this book recently and really enjoyed it. Loo..."


Yeah, it kind of creeped me out, but I couldn't put it down. I had to find out how it would end.

Nophoto-f-25x33 7. Twelfth Night (Folger Shakespeare Library)

I don't usually read Shakespeare, but was given this book as a gift.

I was pleasantly surprised when I ended up really enjoying this comedy.

I guess I find Shakespeare more appealing when I don't already know what's going to happen, as with his more popular works such as "Romeo and Juliet", "Othello", and "MacBeth."

Nophoto-f-25x33 11. Airborn (Airborn Series, Book 1)

I really enjoyed this book. It's excellent for anyone who loves an adventure. At no point in the book was I ever bored (you know that feeling when you just want to get through a part that feels too long). Overall a great book!

Nophoto-f-25x33 15. Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

Some of the situations she finds herself in are ridiculous and just hilarious. Her writing is very entertaining and I found myself literally laughing out loud many times throughout this book.
