The only books I've read from your list are The fault in our Stars - which I loved and The Perks of being a wallflower - which I didn't, but I think I'm in the minority with that opinion. Good luck with adding more books to your list :)

[Amber]

I will and Thanks Pink. I try to read a few Stephen King books a year and got one book series ending next year called Kingdom Keepers by Ridley Pearson but I still got my Sherrilyn Kenyon series and everything.

[Amber]

I'm going to add this one down as it is a pretty good read as well so far and I will finish this one too. The End of Your Life Book Club.

[Amber]

Boundwas a good read but I gave it 4 stars on my review of it I wrote of it because the author created an independent character that had to submit herself to a love interest to end the story instead of being by herself as an independent woman.

[Amber]

The Book Club by Mary Alice Monroe. is a pretty good read.

[Amber]

I'll be done with this one soon. It is a pretty good read. The Extra-Ordinary Princess by Carolyn Q. Ebbitt

I generally don't like short stories much, but I loved these!

[Katy]

Amber: How was World War Z? My brother is listening to it on audio book right now and loves it.

[Amber]

Hey Katy! World War Z was pretty good. It was much different than the movie version though both were good. It was done as interviews with the different people who had seen the zombie apocalypse happened Definitely give it a read. and LauraT, I am enjoying the Fall of the House of Usher and other tales. For my first ever Poe collection, it is pretty good. Full review to come when I finish with the readalong.

[Bionic Jean]

Wow you've read a lot this year, Amber! And so many that I've never heard of as well. I haven't read any of your initial 35!! I know you've recommended a couple to me recently, and we've both enjoyed the classics like Edgar Allan Poe and Washington Irving. Do you think you'll read any more of O.Henry?

You might like to check outM R James He's like an English version of Poe, but much more about suggestion of horror. He wrote short stories likeLost Hearts

Oh and by the way "The Last Unicorn" has always been on my favourites shelf!! I know you mean the graphic novel, but the original ofThe Last Unicorn is just a magical book.

[Amber]

Awesome and thanks Jean! I'm not sure if I will. :) and I'll think about it. I hope to read a few more before December ends and then 2014 I'll start planning my reads for that. I recommended the child thief to you which is a dark version of Peter Pan so I hope you'll check it out. Def check my books I've read out if any interest you.

[Bionic Jean]

Thanks for the recommend I've added "The Child Thief" :)

[Amber]

No problem Jean. I hope you enjoy it. :)

[Amber]

I'm going to add this one as I am almost finished with it. Pepperoni Pizza Can Be Murderby Chris Cavender
