The Matchmaker by Elin Hilderbrand, I started and finished in 2 days, it was really good and I was bawling by the end!

"To Rise Again at a Decent Hour." There were many lines that I wanted to write down and hoard forever. And I read lots aloud to Mr. T, which always means that I enjoyed it.

@KelLeeLeee: she is one of my absolute favorite authors. I'm going to order that book immediately .
Most recent was Gone Girl, which was really good. It was different than I expected.
Currently I'm close to the end of The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory. Also a very good read.

Sigh I'm in a reading rut, I haven't read a book in a long time. I need to get back to it, I usually read a book a week, haven't read on in months

@mrsjyw: I LOVED Eleanor & Park and am on a total Rainbow Rowell kick now. I read Fangirl, Attachments and am halfway through her latest book, Landline.

@Caly: You liked Gone Girl? I'm reading (well, listening to) it right now and i'm not sure where all the hype came from so far! It's okay though..
In the past few months i've listened to
-The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt (meh)
-Looking For Alaska - John Green ( )
-What Alice Forgot - Liane Moriarty (good but not amazing)
-The Happiness Project - Gretchen Rubin (ok but kinda draggy)
-The Fault in Our Stars- John Green (looved..before it was a movie, #sohipster)

@MrsTiz: I wasn't a huge fan either. And I predicted the ending, so that ruined it for me.

@MrsTiz: I'll be honest, at first I wasn't very into it and kinda forged on despite being a bit bored. It picks up about 100/150 pages in, then it got really good. I was glad I stuck it out. You liked The Fault in Our Stars? A friend gave it to me to read, perhaps I'll need to bump it up in my queue

@mrsjyw: OI have a feeling of the ending as well.. but it seems so obvious that it can't be right..
@Caly: I'm not sure what page i'm on because it's an audio book, but they've just rounded up for a search party in the woods for Amy.. am I on the way to the good part or in it?

Just read The Fault in Our Stars. Started it Saturday and finished it yesterday morning(Monday). Really good! But I didn't cry like I was preparing myself to do.

Currently re-reading American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. Great read. I'm in a re-reading rut though, I need new ideas!

@mrsjyw: @KelLeeLeee: I just read Eleanor and Park and The Matchmaker last week! e&P was for book club and matchmaker for fun. I enjoyed them both!
Now I'm reading Fly Away by Kristan Hannah. It's the sequel to Firefly Lane if anyone has read that.
