Tomorrow I'm off to Powell's in Portland which is the largest bookstore in the world. I'm sure I will find tons of great books. I also like to read young adult fiction. When I clicked to read your post I thought you were an author. I write novels and have an e-novel The Mindstalker online. It will be free the first Saturday in July if you have a Kindle. It's a paranormal, suspense, romance.

My preference is young adult fiction and I know it's shameful, but it gives my brain a much needed rest.<br /><br />I just started getting into niche blogging and there's a huge learning curve. A Twilight-ish book is just what I need to settle my brain down for the evening :)<br /><br />Thanks for the recommendations :)Kimberly Gauthier, Dog Nutrition Blogger for Keep the Tail Wagginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021211954887075184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-42563721485709646202013-06-17T11:42:21.767-05:002013-06-17T11:42:21.767-05:00I loved Gone Girl.

I read Gone Girl and liked about half of it -- for the clever writing. I am an admirer of craft. Then I found that the writing was just too clever -- that the twists and turns were more about the writer than the characters. At that point, I was gone.wellwell2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15966678098042337023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-83324947832281376392013-06-16T23:30:45.329-05:002013-06-16T23:30:45.329-05:00I need to pin this book to my list.

For that reason, I disagree with your librarian: you didn't give up on the book too soon and didn't miss the book's point. All the characters were manipulative and unlikable, but I did like the story anyway.Bryan G.http://www.stillunfinished.com/noreply@blogger.com
