Just so everyone's aware, I'm completing a slow process of shifting to here from Goodreads. I honestly probably won't be using this much until there is an app and possibly a way to set yearly reading goals, because those are two of the things I use most on Goodreads. I'd like to switch since Amazon bought Goodreads, but...I like those features :)
Anna Karenina (Everyman's Library)
I liked it well enough when I started, but just got really bored in Book 2 and couldnt make it through. Sorry, Tolstoy!

Where She Went
Amazing. Lived up to the first one. I absolutely loved the lyrics at the chapter starts. They captured every emotion of Adam's perfectly and I find myself really wanting to listen to the album. The raw emotion of this book was incredible. Again, I didn't know what to expect for an outcome until it happened, and I think I could have bee satisfied with any number of outcomes, because Forman's writing makes you feel everything her characters are feeling and live their choices. Amazing. I'm excited I have another of her books next in my lineup.
If I Stay
let me just collect my heart from the floor....I'll just say that I never had an idea of how this would end until the last page. I didn't even know what I wanted to happen--I was as torn as Mia. When Kim said "you still have a family" I think I was completely emotionally destroyed.Read this book. Just do it.
The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls
I was very thrown off throughout by the fact that Adriennes dialogue wasn't always quoted. sometimes her internal narrative would end in a question and a few lines later I would realize that she had asked that question aloud to another character. Very confusing. But I ended up being pretty intrigued by the story. I also felt a lack of closure on a few plot points...
Shades of London (2) - Ripper 2
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE THING.MAUREEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements
THREE YEARS LATER, I have finished this book! It was great! It took me awhile to get into it, but the stories get better and better as you get further in the book and I am so glad I kept with it. Learned a bunch more random facts about the elements and actually put all of my science/chemistry knowledge into a much better context!
By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
Didn't hold my attention at all. I loved The Alchemist, but this one just seemed to aloof for me from the start. I had to abandon it.
Death Cloud (Sherlock Holmes: the Legend Begins)
I connect a lot with young Sherlock Holmes...I'll be reading the rest of this series!

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
I loved the found pictures creating the story. It was tragic and exciting...however I feel most of the true content and plot will be found in subsequent books.
Rebecca (Virago Modern Classics)
Wow. There were so many plot twists in this book that my head was spinning. And the ending....just wow.
The Sequel
I so desperately want John to finish this book. Now. I can't stop thinking about it, and it was only 15 pages!
