Things We Have in Common | 
pickMy reaction to this book was: WTF did I just read?! It's worth the time. The writing style was something I had to get past initially. But that is because it was written from the point of view of a teenager, so the style reflects the voice of the main character. None of the characters are particularly likeable... But that doesn't make it a bad read.
pickCouldn't put it down. Quick read cause you just can't stop. Read it in two days. You're kind of cringing but feel like you can't look away the whole time. Right from the beginning.
so-soThis was definitely YA. Yasmin is a teen who's just a little obsessed with Alice. Yasmin lost her father recently, and now she has issues with food and is bullied. Alice is your typical English Rose and popular. Yasmin sees a man watching Alice when they are at school. When Alice goes missing Yasmin sets out to befriend this man & becomes obsessed with him.
I didn't find the ending very satisfactory. Lots of unanswered questions.
Not the best pic but it's late, it's a school night (read work night) and it's bedtime. Just sharing my new gadget and case purchase. #Kindlepaperwhite and the backlight are necessary for the future camping trip!
Things we have in common - bit of an odd story about teen obsession. This reads as a YA which is a genre I don't read a lot, but this is readable. #netgalley #justgettingroundtoreadingit
Coffee, sun and a new book. #summersolstice
bailedI'm 100 pages in and just don't care- about the characters or the plot. This sounded good, but I just can't get in to it.
My book club is reading Things We Have in Common this month. I know not a single thing about this book. Hope it's good!
Just starting! Hope it is good. #blameMrBook
#TBRtemptation post! This is a coming-of-age thriller. Yasmin is a 15-year-old overweight outsider whose father died & mother remarried. She only has 2 comforts, food & Alice. She's obsessed with Alice. And then she notices a guy who keeps watching Alice too, all the time. She figures he wants to abduct Alice, in which case she'll be Alice's hero by providing the lead that finds her. Then Alice really does go missing. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
pickYasmin thinks a man is watching Alice and is going to kidnap her. She plans on being the one to rescue Alice. She begins to investigate the man and finds some connections with him. So when Alice does go missing, Yasmin has to make some choices. Definitely YA. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterT @BookishMarginalia

Now Yasmin thinks a man plans to kidnap Alice. She will be the hero. She begins to investigate the man and connects with him. When Alice goes missing, Yasmin has to make some choices.
Definitely YA. For high school.
This was part of a Goodreads giveaway.
Here you go, @Liberty This is my contribution to #Andawaytheygo.
Started this one. It was a #Goodreads giveaway. So far it's definitely YA.
Read a killer review of this and since I had a crap day, my book and I are cuddling in bed early tonight.
I've been racing through this book like a hot knife through butter (but have to keep putting it down due to ferrying kids about for early dismissals and delayed openings! 😫). I can't wait to see how this resolves itself. If this is an indicator of YA fiction this year, I'm all in for 2017.
pick🌟I just finished #reading #thingswehaveincommon by #tashakavanagh and I really loved it! I'm so glad I won this in the #goodreads giveaways! Full review to come soon on my blog.🌟
pickReally enjoyed this one, even though the ending didn't feel quite right...
