    Another slow month for me (I'm on my third book right now but it's a reread) when it comes to reading, but it was a great one.

    I'm going to cheat and link to the recommendation I wrote for this last week! I can't believe I waited so long to read The Book Thief! I loved this book so much that it's almost impossible to talk about it.

    As much as I loved The Immortal Rules, Masque of the Red Death, Breaking Beautiful and a couple of others, best book of the month (and year) goes to The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King!:)

    Yay! I didn't actually complete any books this month. I'm in the middle of A Game of Thrones and I'm about halfway through 500 Ways to Be a Better Writer. I'm thinking it will end up being Divergent as I want to read it again this weekend before Insurgent comes out. Yay!

    I got so caught up in revisions that I barely read, but I am currently in the middle of Girls of No Return by Erin Saldin, and I love it!

    I love to read horror books, anything but horror. But it is weird feeling, I'm afraid on the dark.
