I liked it. Saw the movie earlier this year and wanted to read the book too. And of course book was better. Got inside Alice's mind.

Just completed my "I" selection - Inamorata by Megan Chance. I listened to the audiobook, and I'm honestly not sure if my problems are just with the narrator or the book as a whole. I had a difficult time getting into the book, and even after the plot started unfolding, I still was not attached to it. The narrator for the audiobook was male, and it was disconcerting to hear him narrate for two predominant female characters. He gave a valiant effort, but I wasn't a fan. Overall, not bad just not great either. 2.5 stars

Oh gosh i had so much time without finishing a book that i'm probably kicked out of this challenge (lol).
But now that i'm finally on vacations i've finished 2 this weekend:
D: Las Dos Torres. The Two Towers
I: Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
I really liked both of them so i strongly recommend them.
