I started reading Sharp Objects but it has yet to draw me in. It’s a little slow. I’m hoping it picks up the way Girl with the Dragon Tattoo did.

I read Gone Girl and loved it. I started reading Sharp Objects but it has yet to draw me in. It’s a little slow. I’m hoping it picks up the way Girl with the Dragon Tattoo did. The first 100 pages of that book were so boring but then it picked up and I couldn’t put it down. Since I gave up on SO I started reading The Boy in the Suitcase. It’s pretty good so far.

I did like The Time Traveler’s Wife, but I did not enjoy The Ordinary Sadness of Lemon Cake. I thought I would, but it was just not my cup of tea.

I was just thinking the other day that surely it must be time for a Connect through Reading post from you! I am glad when you post both positive and negative reviews. There are so many books to read that I definitely want to know if certain ones can come off my list. That said, Dare Me is on my Fall into Reading list that I just posted. Now I’m torn about whether or not to read it.
I have a lot of non-fiction on my reading list for the fall, but, as always, am more excited about the fiction, including JK Rowling’s new book. I just finished a really fun YA book, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. It was a super fast read and definitely worth it.
I’ve heard that Sharp Objects is much darker than Gone Girl. I will wait until I hear what you think to add that one to my list. My book club chose Gone Girl for this next month. Isn’t that a book that it feels a little wrong to read twice? Even if I did like it the first time?

I definitely will! Also on this post, I’ve already read Bossypants and the Island and thought Bossypants was absolutely hilarious!

So glad I’m not the only one…
I really liked The Language of Flowers and Defending Jacob too.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Gone Girl. I loved it (disliked the ending) but really enjoyed it overall!
Thanks for sharing

I agree with you on The History of Love and The Ordinary Saddness of Lemon Cake…neither were my favorite. I liked The Language of Flowers and really liked Defending Jacob. I have to say Gone Girl was OK, but not my summer favorite.
