I thought it was just a series, all of it one thing :)

Oh really? Glad you enjoyed the book!! I finished the book, though I didn't really love the ending..
I'm currently reading Unbreakable and I'm really enjoying it. It reads like a typical CW show (like Supernatural or Nancy Drew)
i’m reading “we were liars” and the writing style is so different but i’m so intrigued so i can’t put it down!!

i just started holly black's Tithe. i only read a few pages but it looks promising. you can never go wrong with holly black.
@DreamerYou're the biggest Umberto Eco fan I've ever seen! (well, the only one, but I'm sure you're also the biggest!) Hope you looove this one, too. :)
@RileyAww, thank you so much! That's so sweet :) Although there are people out there who have read more books by him than I have. But I really hope I'll get to read all his books one day. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that I'll never be able to read them in the original, unless I learn Italian, which I doubt if I will (I'm not that good at languages)
That is a pity that you might not be able to read his books in the original language! Works are really well translated these days, but I really do feel like they can't help but lack things in the original language. Maybe one day, if you want to learn Italian, you can try his books out. It'd be a great motivator to learn Italian XD
Yeah, I agree. Translations can be wonderful, but they can never be as good as the original. But, you have a point, perhaps Umberto Eco will be the reason for me to learn Italian one day, who knows? :)
heyy I just started reading the waves by Virginia woolf and at first it was really confusing and I was tempted to give up but now I'm actually loving it! :)

I read Orlando some time ago, and I loved it so much, that I now want to read all books by Virginia Woolf. Actually, I will visit a bookstore soon, and this is one of the books I consider buying.. do you think it is worth buying?

I'm so glad to hear that! Actually, I bought it already XD
I'm currently reading The Waves and, although I haven't even read half of it yet, I already know I love it, and that it is by far more than 5 stars! The writing style is perfect! Just, breathtaking! I read it really, really slowly cause I want to absorb carefully every single word..

Virginia Woolf, i love you.

@ReedI have super high expectations for that book (if I ever read it), since it's so well-known. Hope you enjoy that one :)
I'm currently reading Miss Match and I like the writing but there's way too much cheating in the book for my liking
