Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #17 (Time Traveler's Wife) - The Silent Wife by A.S.A. Harrison. I can completely understand why Nicole Kidman has been pushing to produce this movie and play the role of Jodi! The characters were excellently written, complex and flawed. While I didn't particularly like them, I pitied them for not recognizing their flaws. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just finished #12 (I know why the caged BIRD sings) - Grave of Hummingbirds by Jennifer Skutelsky. This was a surprisingly good book! I received it as a kindle first. There was a bit of a slow, confused start, but the author's writing was good so I pushed on. So glad that I did! Once the author started describing the Sophie character, I was hooked. Definitely worth reading! 4.5 stars
