Hi Danielle,I hope you find a book in my little selction you are interested in. Although you only rated it with 2 stars, I will give "Adulthood is a myth" a try - maybe "All the bright places", too.
Have fun reading!
I am about halfway through Holding Up the Universe, and it's charmingly engrossing. I occasionally read middle-school and YA lit as my 13 yo grandson and I have an informal "Grandma-Grandson" book club and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to be introduced to compelling literature and modern voices. So much has changed since I was in school!Jordan, hope you'll find something on my list to read.
Hi Danni, I read The Perks of being a Wallflower! You have it a 4 star ratting and I have it a 5 star. I really enjoyed it. It made the movie (which I love) make a lot more since.

I'm happy you enjoyed the book so much. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is also great.
Hey Jaime,I picked A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens to read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You gave it a 5 star rating and I ended up deciding to give it 4 stars. I'm glad that I read this because it had been on my book list for a while. So thank you!
Hi vishal I picked the alchemist by Paulo coelho in the end because I couldn't find the Rosie project
It was pretty good I just finished
I finished reading Jordan's book Holding Up the Universe. It was a quick and easy read, very interesting. The author made both her protagonists very easy to empathize with; her use of language was masterful. I didn't find the dialogue completely credible, but that can be overlooked in the totality. I gave it 4 stars.
I finished Adulthood Is a Myth and i must say i rather liked it. I found myself in a lot of the described situations and gave it 4 stars in comparison to the 2 stars from Danielle.
I finished book:What Lies Beyond The Stars
I rated it 4 stars as Annie did. It's a creative fictional story built around the philosophical question of finding higher meaning in a high-tech consumer driven world. The storyline is intruiging, and there's a mystery interwined in the pages. The ending does not solve/answer it, but there is supposedly a sequel coming which i would like to read for sure!
Anne
I finished reading The Obsession. I enjoyed it but I rated it 4 where Anna W rated it 5. It was good, but for me it was not quite up to par with some of the other Nora Roberts books I've read. Also, I am glad to have had the opportunity to do a Copy Cat Challenge. This was my first and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Anna W for making this possible. :-) I will definitely be participating again.
Just finished The Martian by Andy Weir from Anne's list.I gave it 3 stars compared to Anne's four as I felt that at 3/4s of the way it dragged for me. Other than that though I thought it was a really engaging and interesting story and I really loved the sarcasm and the parts that made me laugh out loud.
Hey Jadine,I picked Crank by Ellen Hopkins as it was the one book that caught my attention, The style of writing was extremely different than what I was used to but was exhibited beautifully. You gave it 5 stars, I gave it 4 only because I found the story a bit difficult to believe. Overall an enjoyable book.
I finished The God Delusion.Pradnya rated it 4 stars; I gave it 3 stars.
While I like the points it made and found some of the supporting data enlightening, I also found it to be repetitive and sometimes condescending.
