I actually just finished Green's book last night and sobbed my whole way through. It was breath-taking. <br /><br />Here's my question:<br /><br />Is "My Most Excellent Year" worth finishing? I will admit that I started reading it and got to just under 60 pages and put it down. It seemed like fluff and like it would in no way resonate with me. I actually thought that opinion had something to do with the fact that there were so many pages/snippets of correspondence, which did nothing for my attention span. I will give it another go if you think I'm missing something because it seems that you have excellent taste.Diananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733989908779076720.post-32751964258848141072012-04-09T19:14:57.350-07:002012-04-09T19:14:57.350-07:00Her Fearful Symmetry haunted my summer! It was all...Her Fearful Symmetry haunted my summer! It was all I could think about after I read it. No one I knew had read it. I had to sit my boyfriend down and tell him about it so when I made unintelligible noises he would have some idea of what I was going on about. It was so different from The Time Keepers Wife, though I also loved that. Her Fearful Symmetry was a little more disturbing and stuck with me.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12229935185715492837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733989908779076720.post-23453218197228148812012-04-08T22:53:32.310-07:002012-04-08T22:53:32.310-07:00new reader of your blog here!

But it's so true, it's heartbreaking and beautiful and funny and charming and ugh. John Green is just like, my fav. Looking For Alaska takes the cake for me, I mean, TFIOS is a close, close, second, but LFA just blew me away, it haunts my waking moments. I broke down and bought my own copy today so I could re-read it and highlight it and mark it up and bend pages and read it again. <br /><br />Another of my favorites is Her Fearful Symmetry. Gorgeous and haunting book. I will be reading that one again here soon, probably after I give LFA some good loving.Miss Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15099432277343129346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733989908779076720.post-26343005781105928842012-04-08T12:56:44.544-07:002012-04-08T12:56:44.544-07:00Thank you for these recommendations.

Freaking amazing.<br /><br />SARAH DESSEN. One of my most favorite authors ever. Wes is my #2 book boyfriend, right behind Dexter from This Lullaby. Because DEXTER. Did you know that I met Sarah Dessen? (Definitely not trying to brag, I just get really excited when people actually know who she is!) She came to Dallas on her last book tour and I totally fangirled out and she signed my copies of the Truth About Forever and This Lullaby. <br /><br />HUNGER GAMES OBVIOUSLY.<br /><br />It's Kind of a Funny Story is so so wonderful. I want everyone to read that book. What did you think of the movie?<br /><br />And as for the rest of these, they're going on my "to-read" shelf on Goodreads. Because I think we might be the same person so I'll definitely like them.<br /><br /><3 <3 <3 YOUsydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499014109764156005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733989908779076720.post-33996116097414471652012-04-06T12:57:09.406-07:002012-04-06T12:57:09.406-07:00I myself am in the process of giving/borrowing Hun...I myself am in the process of giving/borrowing Hunger Games books to all of my friends.
