^ Phew, I was planning to get The Night Circus for a friend but wasn't too sure. And now that I've seen what you have to say about it, I know I won't. Thanks! I read so many good things about Room, but I also read that it's extremely repetitive because it's narrated by a 5-year-old. Did you think it was a problem at all? ahh, i'm SO glad you didn't! you can read my review of the book on amazon, haha: http://www.amazon.com/review/RD01C7RAHDVZU...=&linkCode= yeah, room is a good book, but i didn't recognize the repetitiveness that much. i think that could have been a result of how the boy told his routine every day, but once you realize the situation he and his mom are in, you get why he is repeating himself. Room looks interesting. I put Son of a Witch down. I am now reading The Girl Who Played with Fire (on my brand new nook color!) It's been a great page turner from page one. This one will finish fast. i just bought that book! i never intended to finish the series, but decided to pick it up anyway. I was going to read Room. Then I read what it was about and was like f*ck NO. SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I'm not into scary things. it's not scary! p.s. I just read The Great Gatsby. what did you think? p.s. NBA. what do you think? |

what did you think? p.s. NBA. what do you think? Great Gatsby was pretty good. I didn't love it but it was short and fun to read, ok story. I like that setting. NBA... I'm happy with how Orlando is playing right now, but the Dwight saga is hanging over my head. I'm sure you can relate, as the Nuggets went through this with Melo last year. Though I think there is a better chance of Dwight sticking around and causing less drama than Melo. Nuggets look interesting...people are picking them as a sleeper. I think they can go pretty far this year because they have the ideal team to cope with a condensed schedule. Youth and a deep bench. Plus the Denver altitude home court advantage will be even more valuable this year I think with all these teams playing so many back to backs. |
