  1. WOW! You put my voracious reading to shame! You read about a book a week!

    Time Travelers Wife is one of my all time favorite books. I hope the movie doesn't ruin it.

  3. Daaamn, that's a lot of books. I applaud your progress so far! I don't think I've finished an entire book this year so far. I space out too much.

  5. The trailer for The Time Traveller's Wife looks awful. Which is a shame seeing that the book is a good read.

    I recently watched the film adaptation of Nick & Norah. It was terrible. I can't believe I wasted my time watching it.

  6. I read The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao too. I was glad to learn a few thing about the Dominican Republic at least. I want to read Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, so I'll read your review afterward. I loved her first one, Sharp Objects-so intense. I also have Revolutionary Road on my tbr list-I'll go look at your review. I don't know any of the others you've read. 22 books for a busy wife is good. Enjoy your loot-when you get some again. My LL post is up.
