I was not expecting to like this book at all, and honestly, there was a fair amount of dread on my part before starting it. Poetry? About Sylvia Plath, the poet? I'm not smart enough for that -- for poetry. This is my high school English experience still haunting me. Not surprisingly, poetry is ... VIEW POST
“One Whole and Perfect Day” by Judith Clarke
I was completely underwhelmed by this novel and was glad it was so short. I didn't really care about the characters, and all of the coincidences were a little too coincidental for me.

“An Abundance of Katherines” by John Green
I use GoodReads to keep track of books. Sometimes, I check reviews of books I'm thinking of reading, some books go on the TBR list regardless of what others think. Others don't make the cut. For some books, these Printz books in particular, I wait to look at reviews until I'm done reading, I want to ... VIEW POST
