It’s time for another Literary Junkies link-up with Taylor from Pink Heels Pink Truck and Christine from Life with a Side of Coffee. I get so many great book recommendations from this link-up so I really look forward to it every month.
Here are this month’s questions:
1. What are you reading right now? Tell us about it.
I’ve been reading The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty. The story is about a woman to accompanies a teenage Louise Brooks to New York City where she attends a dance academy. It’s really a book about the woman’s self-discovery and I read it voraciously!

2. Out of the 16 books that will be turned into a movie adaptation, which one are you most looking forward to seeing this year? (Article Link)
Probably Divergent by Veronica Roth. I’ve read a lot about the series so I put it on hold at the library.

3. What was the worst book you’ve ever read?
I usually stop reading books that don’t interest me, so I’ll have to go with anything by Henry James that was forced, FORCED on me in high school.

4. What foods or beverages have you spilled on a book while reading? Anything good?
I dropped a lot of Girl Scout Cookie crumbs into the pages of my law school books.

5. Do you pictures characters as popular film or tv actors? Or do you create a whole new person in your head?While reading Noah by Elizabeth Reyes, I totally pictured Noah as Taylor Lautner. Generally, though, I don’t associate book characters with actors.
6. Out of all the authors you’ve read books by, who’s brain would you want to pick the most?
Maybe Alexander McCall Smith. He must know people like his characters – do they recognize themselves in his books?
What are you reading these days? Any recommendations for me?
Me Before You! Loving it
you MUST read The Girl You Left Behind. Read Honeymoon in Paris first, though.
And skip The Last Letter from Your Lover by the same author. Disappointing because her other books were incredible!
Nooooo I liked that one too! Not as much, but it was still pretty good.
I finally found a book club to join and can’t wait to start reading some new books! I love when a book takes you away and into a new world, will have to check out these on the list for sure!
The best part of book clubs is all the recommendations you get.
My worst book that I ever readv was widow for a year
That just sounds depressing 🙁
I’m currently reading Throne of Glass , by Sarah J. Maas .. this is probably in the young adult, fantasy, category.
Worst book I’ve ever read: Allegiant by Veronica Roth (hated the ending) and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (sick and twisted psycho story).
Book on deck: The China Study (nutrition)
Monica.
I love YA.
I’ve heard a lot of criticism about Allegiant.
Girl Scout Cookie FTW. I was excited to hear that Louise Brooks was an actual person. I’m going try to find the book she wrote Lulu in Hollywood.
I’m going to have to find it, too. It’s not at my library.
