Breaking Dawn

by Stephenie Meyer
- Rated 3 stars
“This is one of my least favorite of the Twilight saga. I keep hearing that it gets better with each re-read, so I'll give it another try. But my initial impression was mixed. I didn't hate the book like some did, but it's definitely not my favorite. It felt rather rushed in some places, and anti-climactic in others. But the end was satisfying.”

“I read this in one day. That's never happened before! The story just sucked me in and wouldn't let go. It's even better the second time around.”

The Almost Moon

by Alice Sebold
- Rated 3 stars
“The book doesn't justify murder, but it explains a lifetime that led up to that one act. Explaining something doesn't mean you condone it. I was fascinated with this book, so I stuck with it till the end. It left me rather sad.”
