You're born in the same year as my younger daughter, what a conincidence! The Fault in Our Stars certainly made me cry. I also enjoyed The 5th Wave, looking forward to the sequel.

Good luck with the challenge. :-)

I'm reading Pride and Prejudice at the moment for my romance book. Have you read it before?

No, I actually have not! I have loved the movies since I was old enough to watch them, and it has been on my to read list ever since, but I havent had a chance to get to it yet, so I'm looking forward to finally reading it :)

I've enjoyed the book but I kept thinking of the adaptations while I was reading it, hehe.
