Hey y'all

So, I took a little break there, didn't I? It wasn't really a planned thing but you know, it happens. I've been meaning to post something about all the books I've read for a while but then I got overwhelmed by life and such. You aren't getting the full blown deal like I normally do, mostly because I have a lot of books to tell you about. So, here goes.


My Name is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare by Jess Winfield
: Two guys named Will. One is Will Shakespeare pre-fame. The other is Willie Greenberg Ph.D. student. How do these two intersect? Read the book and find out.


Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
: Nice fables that I will read to my children someday, if I ever have them.


Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle
: Three interlocking stores; two of which are told by two of my fave YA writers. Fun and fast read.


Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
: One of the most awesome things about my book club is that we read such a wide variety of things. I am still trying to figure out who was real and who was in the imagination of the unnamed narrator.


Paper Towns by John Green
: Green's third book. Adored it but I still like Alaska better.


Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
: Has possibly the most wretched character ever written in Aunt Norris. I suggest watching the 1999 film.


Emma by Jane Austen
: Loved the book but was often annoyed by Emma herself.

Every Boy's Got One by Meg Cabot: Final installment of the "Boy Series" that is loosely based on Meg's own elopement.


Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot
: Meg gives the reader a fun, cute romance.


The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot
: First in the "Boy Series". These are stories told via email and memo. Adorable.
