Of course, Rick Riordan's books-=always good! This one really amped up the stakes for the last book! Colleen Hoover--I like her books quite a bit, this one was one of my favorites. A heartbreaking story about family and domestic abuse. She actually based a lot of this story on her parents relationship when she was young. Wild was way better than I thought it would be, a real page turner! The Paris Wife was very good, although very sad. I seem to keep picking sad books lately LOL! But I liked learning more about Ernest Hemingway, even if it made him look pretty despicable. Untamed was an intense quick read, but definitely needed more character development.
Right now I'm reading





I binge read

Jupp. Tracy Bloom has the best titles AND books, ever.

Ashley and Heidi, it was good in so many ways, very gritty, a great story, captures emotions and tells a difficult tale in a compelling way-I really liked it. At the end, though, I was still a little confused, but it may have been me. It was told in a confusing way on purpose, to show the MC's pain and survival mode of not facing all the details. Powerful.

Ahhhh I loved the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books! And the Swedish film adaptations are AH. MAZE. ING."
YES, they are! :)

You must like the series then?

Ohhh boy. It's interesting when that happens! I remember asking for Slash's autobiography for Christmas a few years ago; my cousin misunderstood and got me a CD of his where he jammed with a bunch of different artists. It was really cool and still makes me laugh :)

I fell in love with the series instantaneously. I should have it done by the end of 2016.

Can't go wrong with Little Women! I love the old movie of it, too, the one with Winona Ryder in it.

KAREN: I met her during her Scarlet or Cress release and loved her. So even though I wasn't a fan of Cinder I stuck to her books. She's really nice!

That one looks cute

That one looks cute


I need to get that one again; I had it from the library a few weeks ago but I didn't have time for it!


How is this one??"
I'm really liking it so far. I think its meant for fans of Alice in Wonderland, if you're not a fan of that, you probably won't like this one.


Go with Crooked Kingdom--everything will be fresh in your head. :)

That would be a difficult decision but I don't think you can go wrong with either
