For example, I found Smoke and Mirrors a bit much because it was short stories and they were each stranger than the last. <br /><br />Having read some slightly intense books this month I think the Wedding Pact series sounds ideal for me!Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-57417656114575716882016-05-11T12:32:11.185-05:002016-05-11T12:32:11.185-05:00I might have to try some of these books.

I've heard good things about The Ocean at the End of the Lane and have it on my TBR. I love it when I find a favorite new author. Sometimes I binge; sometimes I savor but it always makes me happy! Adding The Player because it seems like the perfect summer read.<br />Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-4247871514729705492016-05-10T13:58:25.938-05:002016-05-10T13:58:25.938-05:00I have Please Don't Come Back from the Moon on...I have Please Don't Come Back from the Moon on my list but I didn't love Summerlong so it isn't suuuper high up there.

That's definitely what happened with The Lunar Chronicles. The Substitute sounds like such a cute book! It almost reminds me of The Wedding Date too!

I read in stages (I guess). I read a book...read others...then, pick up that author again. <br />I keep thinking that I want/need to read Neil Gaiman, but it seems that people are all over the place about him, his stories, what book of his is the best, etc. I get overwhelmed, don't know which one to grab, then move along.Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744003004126232764noreply@blogger.com
