1) Slaughterhouse-Five was a dnf for me, so don't feel bad
2) I loved Ove, too.
3) Yes for Pines and Blake Crouch, I hope you find the other 2 books so..."

Thanks for the recap Ioana :D
I'm glad i'm not the only one who hated Slaughterhouse-five!

It is really weird that the last 2 books have not translated/become available in GE??? That's weird, because they've been out a long time. Very frustrating for you I am sure."

Thanks Alondra!

Yes it is very frustrating. And because they are not exactly new, i was counting on finding copies easily. They were available in GE before, but last year they suddenly weren't anymore and in any format; Audible/e-book/paperbacks disappeared (or so i read in a blog anyway) and now there is a new publishing date. Weird, but i have to wait *sighs*

Probably a new publisher or some behind the scenes drama. The writing world has a lot of that! smh

Congrats on finishing already!! I'm so far behind. Saw that you have a second list going. Heading over to see it :)

Thank you Jackie! I'm usually always behind on this challenge so I'm really happy I finished early this year.

Great news, enjoy!

Back to my first list :)
I finally got my copy of 1Q84, it is a huge book.
I'll probably be reading it between other books until the end of the year. But i am curious about and i hope i'll enjoy it.

Long and not a fast/easy read, but I enjoyed it. Good luck!

I really liked it when I read it but it was long. Just be ready for a lot of weird and quirky things. Enjoy :)

Thanks, Ioana, i just started it so it's probably too early to know if i'll like it or not :) but i hope i'll enjoy it too.

Thanks Lillie :) i'm already sensing the weird part. I'm curious how the story will evolve.
