  1. This makes me sad about Feed. Now I’m scared to try it.

  2. Oh no on Ready Player One! It's on my list to read this month with the movie coming out! I really liked Paper Magician but not enough to have read the second in the series. On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet was also a great surprise for me and Unbroken! Great picks.

  3. Aw bummer about Dark Matter, I liked that one. Ready Player One was kind of iffy for me...

  5. I love that you and put HTTYD in the "bad" category and Still Alice in the "good" category. We must belong to the same book club. :D

  6. I nearly put Still Alice on my list too! I loved it but god it was just so hard to read , it made me feel so sad and cringey the entire time.

  7. I was also pleasantly surprised by Still Alice, it was one of my top reads a couple years ago, so surprising. The Paper Magician is constantly popping up in my searches but I have heard it was disappointing.
