You: Two Reviews

Ever think you're tired of reading the same ol same? We've got something not so new, but definitely different.




When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.

There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting.

As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck’s life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck’s perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.

Happy New Year


It's officially 2015! New year, new book challenges! 

I've made some amazing friends this past and I can't wait to kick off the new year doing a book challenge with some of them! 

So without further ado, here's what we'll be reading first.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss





Told in Kvothe's own voice, this is the tale of the magically gifted young man who grows to be the most notorious wizard his world has ever seen. The intimate narrative of his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-ridden city, his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a legendary school of magic, and his life as a fugitive after the murder of a king form a gripping coming-of-age story unrivaled in recent literature. A high-action story written with a poet's hand, The Name of the Wind is a masterpiece that will transport readers into the body and mind of a wizard

The first book of the challenge needed to be over 500 pages so that is why we choose it (plus it's one of Renee's favorite books and we want to know what all the fuss is about)
 
Join us for some fun reading this year!!!
