So far, I'm two books behind for the year. It could be a lot worse--I could be five behind in the last week like I was last year! I'm going on vacation in a few weeks though and should be able to breeze through a few while I relax on the beach. I've already got a few lined up that I am going to take with me!
I thought a good way to catch everyone up with what I've been reading is by going through my highest rated books.
I'm not going to lie to you, this book was very sad. I cried for most of the second half of it, actually. Despite that, I really really REALLY love this book. It's so honest and believable and you really feel like you're friends with Hazel and Gus too. It has really high highs and really low lows, but it is 100% a book worth reading, and you'll be better off having read it.
There are so many "If you liked the Hunger Games trilogy... read this" lists, but seriously. If you liked The Hunger Games, read this. Veronica Roth is slightly older than me and yet she has created this fascinating and all-encompassing dystopian world. I did prefer Divergent to its sequel Insurgent (released May 1), but they are both just so good.
Everyone I know who has read Steve Jobs liked it. It took me a long time to read it. It took me too long to read it, but once I decided I was going to finish it I was able to. It is pretty slow starting out--in the pre-Apple days--but I found it a lot easier to read once he and Woz met and started Apple. It took me 3 months to get 1/4 of the way through and a weekend to read the last 3/4.
What are your favorite books that you've read so far this year?
