THIS BOOK IS FINALLY HERE!
The hype you may have heard about We Were Liars is COMPLETELY within reason.
Please please check this out—I need someone to discuss it with!
Here’s a link to my post about it from a couple months ago if you need a reminder of my fangirling over this book: http://wp.me/p3r7yv-8N
Now leave and go buy it!

At the beginning of January I set a reading goal for myself and decided to read 75 books this year. I tend to get busy or in a rut, so I figured that was a safe number.
I here to reveal my January total….7 books! I don’t think that is too bad at all. At least two books were paper copies which do tend to take me a little bit longer to read. All in all, I read some great stuff in January including The Uglies, We Were Liars (comes out in May), The Here and Now (releases in April, and Cress (NEXT TUESDAY!!!). I can’t wait to see what is coming up in February!

OH. MY. GOODNESS.
I keep telling people that I’m already wondering if this will already be my favorite book that I will read this year.
I saw some other review that said that they didn’t like the choppy writing style. For me- that is what I found most interesting. It gave me a hint, of sorts, that something huge and abrupt was going to happen. I never would have guessed what was going to happen. Just know that We Were Liars is more than a story about a bunch of rich kids spending summers on an island. Random House is genius for promoting the book in a way that does not go too far into the plot. This way, the reader goes in blind and has no idea what to expect. I only knew that something had to be happening the way that the plot and story kept jumping around to different summers. I had to keep reading because I needed to know.
When I finally reached the book’s climax, I just stared at the page for a few minutes trying to process what had happened. In fact, I finished it days ago and I’m still trying to process it.
Do yourself a favor and get We Were LIars when it releases in May!

So I’m still reading Prodigy, but it’s in hardcopy. (So far, so good I love it!)
That said, I was too lazy to get up and turn the light back on when I couldn’t sleep last night. What did I do? I pulled out my beloved Kindle Fire and chose to start We Were Liars. I got it from Netgalley, but have heard great things about it and was ready to start it.
It is SO GOOD! A full review is coming eventually, but I had to just go ahead and express my excitement over this book. It definitely lives up to the hype that I keep hearing about.
