Gorls, add me on Goodreads! https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/...icson-laurente

Added you!

I'm currently reading Wonder by RJ Palacio and it's really touching. It's about a 10 year-old boy who's born with severe facial disfigurement and it's told from his perspective and from the perspectives of his family and other kids at his school and stuff and it's cute and sad at the same time.

I just bought The Fault In Our Stars by John Green. Anyone read it before? I've heard a lot of good things from friends.

I had to get the movie-cover version though, I hate that

Buy a box of tissues before reading.

I just finished reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and OMG it was amazing... so touching... five stars.

I also read the Night Circus before and that was five stars as well because of how imaginative it was.

Before that I read 172 Hours on the Moon which was pretty bad, tbh. It started out promisingly but the ending was so unsatisfying and the mystery/suspense evaporated about three quarters of the way in.

By the way do any of you subscribe to booktubers?

And if so which ones.

I LOVED that book. The writing style is so beautiful, and the story so good. And it was a quick read.

I subscribe to a few booktubers. Christine, Kat, Cassidy, thereadables, littlebookowl, and a few others I can't remember.

Currently re-reading A Series of Unfortunate Events. However this Tuesday I will be dropping everything for City of Heavenly Fire

I've come so close to buying this book so many times. Definitely wanna get into it once I get through some more books on my TBR.

The Readables is my fave booktuber purely cos I love the style of her videos and she's a graphic designer so they're always super pretty visually too. I subscribe to a few others but the ones I'd recommend are littlebookowl, jessethereader, polandbananasbooks (she's ****ing hilarious on her side-channel polandbananas20 too ), read susie read, words of a reader, and inkbonesbooks.

I've read Jonathan Maberry's book on zombies and I started with Patient Zero if anyone ever read it. Its an okay but but I think his other books are better. Started Dante's Inferno and pretty good so far

His Zombie 'Rot and Ruin' saga is amazing. I've never read patient zero, so I can't comment.

Oh, so you're Callum! Accepted you. I only have two friends though and I assume the other one is also from ATRL.

I hated them too BUT my copy of Memoirs of a Geisha has the movie poster cover version too and IT'S PRETTY with Zhang ZiYi in it!

Has anyone read Gone Girl? I've had the book for five months and I've yet to start it because of school work and exam prep

[Callum]

Decided I'm gonna re-read the Harry Potter series this summer cos I haven't read it in years. About 20% of the way through the Philosopher's Stone and I'm already feeling all the feelz.

Just finished reading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Seriously the most life changing book I've read since The Alchemist by Paul Coelho

[brndksk]

This month I read Splintered, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Let the Great World Spin, 172 Hours on the Moon, The Keeper of the Isis Light, The Night Circus, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and half of The Song of Achilles.

Here's what I thought...

Splintered: 2.5 star. Bland characters and uninspired plot let down this well-written debut YA fantasy.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: 4.5 star. Although incoherent and lacking a strong message, the sheer imagination of Carroll's world and characters make this classic deserving of its status.

Let the Great World Spin: 4.0 star. Although utterly devoid of humour and charm, the strong realism and insightful prose of this novel make it an interesting, compelling read.

172 Hours on the Moon: 2.0 star. This book is initially thrilling and compelling, but is let down by bad writing and a completely unsatisfying, vapid resolution (yes, even for a thriller!).

The Keeper of the Isis Light: 4.0 star. With powerful themes of loneliness, isolation, body-image and disappointment, this obscure 1980 novel is a charming, agreeable - if slightly dated - sci-fi story.

The Night Circus: 5.0 star. One of the most imaginative novels out there, The Night Circus is an endless supply of charms wonders.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe: 5.0 star. A touching, timeless and beautiful bildungsroman which transcends its LGBT genre.

I'm currently reading Dorothy Must Die, and my TBR for June includes Titus Groan, The Knife of Never Letting Go, and the rest of The Song of Achilles.
