It is such a different book, especially since it's based on a true story. So glad to hear you enjoyed Gone Girl, the music and soundtrack was definitely on point! Looks like you got some great books for review as well. Have a lovely week Genie!

Nice to find another fan of the Graveyard Book graphic novels - and since you liked those you'd be sure to enjoy The Sleep and the Spindle :)Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-71730946037745165052014-10-27T07:31:20.401+11:002014-10-27T07:31:20.401+11:00Lots of people seem to be asking about The Bell Ja...Lots of people seem to be asking about The Bell Jar, so I'll have a review up for it here once I've finished it :) YES - The Darkest Minds is soooo good!

I hope you've got the time to review it, would love to see what you think of it. I've been reading quite a few classics, but never review them. I really should start. The Sleeper and The Spindle looks so incredibly charming, I've read his Graveyard graphic novels and completely fell in love.

I love his stuff. Coraline is still my favourite, but Good Omens? I had to go back and give it 5-stars.

I can't wait to start Dissonance either since reading A Thousand Pieces of You which also has that multi-verse aspect in it :)Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-76050602024358358172014-10-26T08:26:14.271+11:002014-10-26T08:26:14.271+11:00I'll hopefully have time to post a review for ...I'll hopefully have time to post a review for it once I've finished it :) They didn't have it at my library either so I had to get it ordered in. Still, it's really good so far and the writing style flows really well. That cover of The Darkest Minds is the new Australian edition (although I own the other one with the girl's face on the front - which unfortunately doesn't match the rest of the paperbacks *sigh*) Anyway, hope you like Gone Girl :) Thanks for visiting Amanda!Eugeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456002470250311235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1530164804090408863.post-68403697090307373592014-10-26T01:22:45.435+11:002014-10-26T01:22:45.435+11:00Ooh, I'm looking forward to seeing what you th...Ooh, I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of Belzhar--I keep reading really mixed review for it! I hope you'll like it, though. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts. Dissonance also sounds FANTASTIC. :D Glad you liked Gone Girl--I've been meaning to go see that one but haven't found the time just yet.

I've been looking for it since I read Belzhar at the library and they don't have it so I'm so going to need your thoughts on it ASAP!
