It was out of my comfort zone, but I ended up really liking it.

We might both be overbuyers though, oops! I listened to a few of her podcasts and some I found entertaining and great...others got on my nerves. I will have to consider this book! I think Ocean at the End of the Lane sounds really interesting.

Then I read some reviews (most people hated it), and watched his Netflix comedy special, and decided nope. His stand up is actually really dirty...and not funny dirty. Just awkward and gross dirty. I have to pretend I didn't watch it otherwise it taints my love of Ron Swanson too.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-86839616570583108612015-05-12T12:24:38.473-05:002015-05-12T12:24:38.473-05:00I've never read Picoult and everyone recommend...I've never read Picoult and everyone recommends The Storyteller as my first.

It took me a little while to get into it and it was definitely different than what a typically read, but by the end I was amazed at how masterfully done it was! I didn't realize until the end that most of the characters weren't given names either!

KC and I are opposites as well, but I'm Scott and he's you in our marriage. Lol.<br />I didn't mind If I Stay. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I read the sequel immediately after (on a plane) and really disliked that one which in turn made me dislike If I Stay even more. I watched the movie over the weekend and it wasn't fabulous either lol.Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-90060078924949552332015-05-12T07:41:40.238-05:002015-05-12T07:41:40.238-05:00I still haven't read any of Gayle Forman's...I still haven't read any of Gayle Forman's books but people seem to love them or hate them. lol!
