• The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls

  The Glass Castle is my favourite book. It’s astonishing. This book is quite good—definitely recommended—but nothing she will ever write will be as good as her first.

  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.

• The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

  Better than the first two movies. The ending was a good place to split the book.

• 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.
