I actually have the vegetarian on my list for the same category as you! Can't wait to read it!

I thought The Vegetarian was okay - I listened to the audiobook, which made it super hard to keep track of the characters. You'll have to let me know what you think of it!

I also want to read American Gods! We must be book buddies, haha!

Chris (chrissanko) | 7 comments American Gods is one of my favorite books -- I can say with confidence it's good. :)

YESSS - have you heard there is going to be a TV series? I've heard such great things about this book that I am hoping to read it and then watch the show (definitely the book first!!).

Amber Cotton (rosellasweet) | 5 comments American Gods is great! Similarly, Good Omens by Gaiman is really good.
