COMPLETED:

[Megan]

Just completed my selection for "G" - Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. Endearing and incredibly charming, the book winds old Southern myths into reality. Love the characters and the cooking sequences make me want to check out edible flowers! Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

2/26

[Megan]

Just completed my selection for "W" - We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. While I had basically figured out the twist in the book about 30% of the way through, the unusual writing style kept me interested despite that. I enjoyed the characters, which were particularly complex in their oddities and personalities. Worth reading! 4 stars

3/26

[Leslie Ann]

M - The Martian by Andy Weir 1/7/2015

[Cassandra]

Way to go, everyone!

[Leslie Ann]

Loved the Martian. Robinson Crusoe on Mars. I couldn't put it down.
