Fave Reads of 2011- So far!

Written By: Kellie - Jun• 24•11

I love, love, love this idea. I can always use an excuse to gush about the books I’ve read. I tried not to reuse any books but it didn’t work out that well. I’ve read 44 books so far this year, but what can I say, some were just better than others. I think my big winners are Gone by Michael Grant and If I Stay by Gayle Foreman, neither of which was my number one book so far this year!

    Never Let Me Go is amazing. It’s so odd and good.
    I’ve been hearing about Gone today. I don’t even know what it’s about, but people keep saying they love it.
