Updates:
Friday: Finished Every Little Piece. It was soooooo good! I'm going to read some HP4 for my rereadalong and start a new book tomorrow.
Saturday: Read a little bit of HP 4, but then I spent the day with my mom and napped through the twitter party by accident so #Fail!
Sunday: Started Furious (picked from my book jar!)
Monday Finished Furious by Jill Wolfson. It wasn't my favorite. I loved the concept, but the execution just fell flat for me. I'll write a review soon.
Tuesday: Listened to more than half of Beautiful Stranger on audiobook. I'm liking this better than the first book. And it doesn't hurt that the guy's voice is British! I read a little more in The 5th Wave for my book club book of the month read too.
Wednesday/Thurs/Fri I finished listening to Beautiful Stranger and started Parallel. I also read another two sections of The 5th Wave.
