• Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

  If this is what it feels like to be in love at sixteen, I’m glad I skipped it and heartbroken that I missed it.

• Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

  Definitely not the story I thought it was—pop culture had given me false expectations. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it very much.

• Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

  Currently reading: I’m on page 3. By the time I’m on page 50 you should have driven to the nearest bookstore, purchased it, and started reading it in the parking lot. This is gonna be good. Edit: finished. Absolutely fantastic.

• Silk by Alessandro Baricco

  “It is a strange grief to die of nostalgia for something you will never live.” Short, sweet, and beautiful. Haven’t seen the movie.

• The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

  Loved both the book and the movie, though the movie felt a little rushed in comparison with the book.

• Cress by Marissa Meyer

  Thorne is my favourite character in the series so far. He’s the comic relief. I’m pretty excited for book four.

• Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

  Love how she kept Cinder’s story going while focussing on a whole new set of characters. Red Riding Hood is bad ass. Kendra wrote a review for this one, too.
