Same with the Jojo Moyes books. Guess it just shows that everyone has different tastes. I haven't read an amazing book lately, but still will always recommend Wonder, The Martian, Ready Player One, and Michael Crichton to everyone LOL.lisacnghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404184287815243972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-48523671439061932015-11-11T20:44:15.492-06:002015-11-11T20:44:15.492-06:00Bummer to hear that about the Jojo Moyes book.

I read a couple of blah books recently as well (including one that was beyond bad), so I can definitely relate.<br /><br />It's a shame that you didn't like several of these, though. Pretty Girls, Code Name Verity, and several Jojo Moyes books are on my "To Read" list. Hopefully I'll have a different experience when I get to them.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-10820102179759816672015-11-10T19:58:47.367-06:002015-11-10T19:58:47.367-06:00What a bummer of a reading month.

It was kind of pointless as a sequel, but if I looked at it as standing alone, I enjoyed it. <br />I get into funks where I just seem to pick up bad book after bad book after bad book, honestly, that's when I know I need to take a couple weeks off, you know? I hope you have better luck this month.Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-15892693713572948132015-11-10T08:39:50.418-06:002015-11-10T08:39:50.418-06:00I'm sad over your review of Me After You.
