    That's it. 2014 has been the year of the major reading rut for me. I'm currently 4 books behind on my (pathetic to begin with) reading goal. I doubt I'll make it up this month.

    Glad to hear I wasn't the only one.  I really tried to get through it but it was just so bad I was struggling to read it.  I hate giving up on books, I rarely do it.

  • Salt and Storm by Kendall Kulper - cool, but not quite as mind blowing as I was hoping for
    Make You Mine by Macy Beckett- awesome, as expected
    Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater (re-read on audio)- 
    The Shadow Scholar: How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat by Dave Tomar - eye-opening and really well written
    Rip-Off edited by John Scalzi - some stories were awesome, some duds. 
    Broken by Shelley Coriell

    I'm at 70 for the year. I usually read around 50 or 60 so this is good for me.

    - Gayle Forman
    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
