ReplyDeleteI read If I Stay and really didn't like it so I stayed away from Where She Went.
ReplyDeleteHearing good things about The Catastrophic History of You and Me.

The Catastrophic (..) was such a cute read! I loved it! I listened to the audiobook which was fantastic - one of the things I loved most were the 80s music quotes:) I'm such an 80s fangirl! Happy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteWow! You've some great books! Every time I see the cover for The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour it makes me want to be driving down old barely paved roads on the way to a swimming hole with the windows down, listening to the Cure, and drinking a coke. I LOVE that cover.
