The spookiest day in the world is coming up soon, and in my book that is the beginning of the end of the year. Although I read very little during the first half of the year, the second half made up for it mostly.
Next in the list
Last night, I started reading The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid, which is another title that I've been intimidated by but ended up loving from the first sentence. I found it on the Oyster app on my iPad, and being eager to try this app, I joined the trial and decided to give the book a go. I'll talk more about what I think of Oyster in a later post, but for now, both the app and the book are pretty good.Reviews posted

Have you seen the movie version of Perks? It's well worth watching.
Oh wonderful Chaos Walking books! I can't wait to hear what you thought of them. Are you planning to read Patrick Ness's new book, More than This? It's slower to start than the Chaos Walking ones, but it's fantastic in its own way.
Perks of Being a Wallflower really is a good one. It will be interesting to see how the movie does.
I need to get busy reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower so I can see the movie. My oldest daughter really enjoyed it.
I noticed that The Perks of Being A Wallflower is on of the books World Book Night has chosen for givers to give away this year. I really want to read it!
I really need to try Perks of Being a Wallflower.
I remember being a bit annoyed by the ending of the Reluctant Fundamentalist, as always I wanted more answers!
Not yet! That's next on my list.
I'd like to read that one. I'm intrigued by it plus I liked the Chaos Walking trilogy enough to want to read more books by this author.
I'm hoping to get hold of the movie sometime. It should be pretty good.
I need to watch the movie too. The book was amazing and I have a lot of hope for the movie.
I noticed that too and was so thrilled. That book deserves to be on that list.
I'm enjoying the narrative of The Reluctant Fundamentalist. It is pretty fast-paced so I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes.
I borrowed The Perks of Being a Wallflower from my boss, but haven't read it yet. Clearly I need to soon!
I remember reading and loving The Perks of Being a Wallflower as a teen, but I definitely think an adult re-read is in order! It's amazing the difference a decade and a half can make, eh? Also, I missed seeing the movie in theaters . . . must track it down!
