Ta-Da



I finished Water for Elephants today! It is always such a great feeling when you read that last sentence. I must say I was kind of...no actually I was really disappointed with this book. It failed to get interesting for me until I got into about the last quarter of the book. While I think the movie will be great and Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon will be perfect for their characters, the book just didn't do it for me. I am glad to know that at least most others enjoyed it. Any good recommendations for my next book?

  2. Ditto on The Hunger Games! I couldn't stop reading. :)

    Also, Love is a Mixtape. It's a sad one, but really beautiful.

  4. Aw, what a let down! I still have to stand by Palace of Ice by Tarjei Vesaas. Easily the most amazing thing I've ever read, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the title tattooed on me.
