I hope you're having a great vacation and got some good reading time in while traveling 😊😊

Enjoy that trip! Written in the Stars looks like something I might pick up. Looking forward to your thoughts on it.

It's funny I moved from Virginia to California and I'm actually bored with all the sunny no cloud in the sky days! That being said, I love the ability to go outdoors year round comfortably.

Hope you are enjoying your trip! Indiana has made me sick, literally. lol. Take care! I'm still working on the 5th Wave, hate to hear the movie was so bad.

[BookwormsBuddy]

I have been hearing so many mixed reviews on The 5th wave. Sorry you did not like the movie but thanks for the heads up. I have been wanting to read the book so I will do that instead. I have been just starting to hear about Passenger, I want to be able to read that one as well. Great books to read Jen!

I've had Glitch on my shelf for a while so I'll be looking for your thoughts on it :)

You and my mom have the beach-is-necessary! mentality. XD I'd have DNFd that one too, I think. Looking forward to your final thoughts on Written in the Stars. Loved seeing you smiling so much with your cousins! Do you visit with them often?

[wordsofclover]

I've read Glitch. I thought it was pretty good but I ended up really hating one of the male characters (you'll prob know who and why when you finish it). I haven't read the sequel yet but i plan to eventually.

[WishFulfillment]

I DNFed Identical last year because of the really detailed date rape scene. The story itself was really interesting, but I draw the line as unnecessarily detailing and inappropriately sexualizing rape.

I agree with you about the narrators for The 5th Wave even though I ended up giving the book 1 star. I felt like I was listening to the characters the whole time, and did not think of them as narrators at all.
