Good Morning Everyone,
It's time for the Linkup!
So I confess (even though it isn't Wednesday) that I didn't get a whole lot of reading done the past month. I'm not sure why really other than being busy and slightly distracted. However last night I downloaded a book and I finished it! To be fair it wasn't a long book but that didn't mean it wasn't a really amazing read!
The book was: If I Stay by Gayle Forman
Now I kind of avoided this book for a bit because it was so popular...and I was burned pretty bad by Gone Girl (again apologies if you loved it) but after seeing a trailer for the movie I decided it looked like something I would enjoy.
I am so glad that I decided that.
I downloaded it from my library and started reading. I have to say that I loved each and every one of the characters. They were all so well written and beautifully described...it didn't matter that the book was short....it was full of life.
Basically to give you an overview without spoilers- Mia is in a coma...and yet she is there watching everything going on around her...and it is up to her if she wants to stay....or go.
I laughed and I cried great big tears over this book. It left me thinking about it long after I had finished it and that to me is the mark of a great one. I've already put my name on the waiting list for the next book in the series!
So that's what I've read...and now I have three more books on the nightstand that are ready and waiting for me! However I can't wait to see what you all read to get more ideas!
Happy Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!
