Yesterday I finished About A Boy by Nick Hornby and The Oracle of Dating by Allison van Diepen. Both I really enjoyed :friends0:

I really liked that one Kate. I think it's his best book really (although there are a couple I haven't read)

I really enjoyed this book too. I was surprised how similar the film is to the book as well (except the ending). It was great :D

 

This week I have finished:

 

- Maximum Ride Book 1: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

- Sarah Dessen: Along For The Ride

Both I loved!

What did you think of The Book of Lost Things Kate? I wasn't so keen. I thought some of the writing was very good and it started quite strongly, but there were some bits I thought a bit odd, and overall it was just a bit unpleasant and somehow unsatisfying.
