30. The Remains of the Day—incredible writing, but very stream of consciousness. I admit to skimming!
31. The Memory Police—dystopian and weird.
32. Daisy Jones & The Six—Thanks for your recommendation! Loved it.
33. The Book Thief—took me a minute to get into it, but then it grabbed me. Tissues needed.
34. The Sun Down Motel—what a ride! Great story-telling. Couldn’t put it down.
35. The Giver of Stars—could have been a little shorter with some tighter editing, but great story, and wrapped up with a happy ending bow.
36. Good Girl, Bad Girl—sucked me right in, and I can’t wait for the sequel!

Started A Little Life but got bogged down in the philosophy and detailed history of the four characters (not sure yet if it’ll be a DNF), and so started The Broken Girls, looking for something a little faster paced. After reading The Sun Down Motel, I’d expect nothing less!

Oh my word. All of these books I’ve either read or want to read! I just realized I’ve never mentioned Schindler’s List on my blog. That will have to change. It’s such an amazing story.
