I've never ordered so many books off Amazon...
14. Bringing Down The House: How Six Students Took Vegas For Millions (Ben Mezrich).
Bought it cos it's the guy who wrote The Social Network, and having just seen the film, I wanted to read something similar but not identical. It was good! Kinda confusing with skipping between quasi-fiction and the "how I wrote this book" parts, but enjoyable all the same.
15. Before I Fall (Lauren Oliver). Teen trash. Groundhog Day with zero inspiration. I was begging her to just die, dammit, by day 2.
16. Last Night At Chateau Marmont (Lauren Weisberger). I heart Weisberger. It's fantastic summer trash (good trash). Although the "fame changes people for the worse" storyline is wearing a little thin now...
17. The Time Traveller's Wife (Audrey Niffenegger). Awesome, just awesome. The film version was great too, but the book was just a whole new dimension.
18. Her Fearful Symmetry (Audrey Niffenegger). Plain creepy. Great writing, as with TTTW, but whereas the whole time travel lark was vaguely realistic in TTTW, this was just beyond comprehension.
19. Mary Barton (Elizabeth Gaskell). L-O-V-E-D it. I heart classic fiction. Gritty, northern classic fiction is just the icing on the cake.
20. Emma (Jane Austen). Do I actually need to say anything? I love Austen.
21. Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction. Stolen from the boyf's bookshelf, read in a hasty weekend whilst working nights. Giggled.
22. The Pact (Jodi Picoult). Picoult. It's like modern Austen (I just vommed a little in my mouth saying that).
23. Handle With Care (Jodi Picoult). Osteogenesis Imperfecta is one of my diseases of huge curiosity. Love it.
24. Pictures of Lily (Matthew Yorke). Disturbingly visual. Not one to read before going to work, I was half hallucinogenic for the night.
25. Chasing Harry Winston (Lauren Weisberger). Fell in love with Leigh. I want her Mondays.
26. What Alice Forgot. Interesting, but not interesting enough that I was still thinking about it hours after I put it down. Forgettable.
