Awhile back, I looked ahead to all of the books on the list, figuring out if I could borrow them from a library, read them on Oyster, or purchase a copy. At the same time, I discovered that this book, "Dreamquake" was part two of a "duet" -- so I grabbed a copy of the first book as well, and I am so ... VIEW POST
“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.

If you don't like books with unreliable narrators and/or ambiguous endings, this book is definitely not for you. And it wasn't just the ... VIEW POST
“John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth, a Photographic Biography” by Elizabeth Partridge
So, I'll admit: I was a little dubious about reading a biography of John Lennon. I had to buy it, too, because it wasn't available from any of my library choices, or online. Having read it, I still wonder at why, exactly, this was chosen as an honor book. It was good, but I would love to know what ... VIEW POST
