Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Hi everyone! This is my first time participating in a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ group, so I hope I remember to stay active!

It's OK so far, but not as good as Gone Girl! I think I'll stick with it though. Thanks for the other recommendations, I definitely check those out :)

I haven't decided, which book I'm going to read for week 36 either, but I have a couple of potentials: Water for Elephants, Love in the Time of Cholera or Never Let Me Go.

Oh, good ones, thanks! I'll add those to my list.

You're welcome :-) I think it's great that we can help each other finding books, and I really get inspired when I read about books others will be reading!

I like your list, we've got a couple of shared books in there too. I'm thinking about going with Never Let Me Go for my love triangle book too. :-)

Good luck with the challenge.

#16: Read J.K. Rowling's "The Cukoo's Calling" and loved it. Hope you enjoy it, too.

Thank you for reminding me about Water for Elephants! I read that when it first came out and loved it.
