    1. Thanks Grace! I hope you love Since you've been gone. It is a lighter read, which I loved. And yeah, this was my second time reading The Art of Racing in the Rain. I did not cry any less.

    1. Thanks Ramona! Don't feel too bad. I had it on my Kindle FOREVER and just now read it. I have always heard such great things and I can't believe I just now read it too.

    1. Thanks Shannon! Rook was just as good as you said it would be. But then again, we are bookish soul mates, so that is to be expected, right. ;) Sticking to five words is tough, but I love it. It forces me to be clear and to the point.

  6. I'm very interested in Broken Monsters because of the "freaking disturbing" part! I love your 5 word reviews, by the way. =) I'm definitely interested in Rook, I've seen kind of mixed reviews but I prefer that to books that only have good reviews anyways, so I probably will pick it up one day.
    Great reviews, Cynthia! =)

    1. Thanks so much Shay! Broken Monsters is a great read for sure. It started a little slow, but man it was disturbing. If that intrigues you, I highly recommend it. And Rook is pretty awesome too. It started out a bit slow, but I loved it.
