  1. Oh, Noelle, Gone, Gone, Gone is such a gentle and beautiful story. I really hope you enjoy it. I haven't read Amy & Roger, but Lisa did a while back. I can't remember her rating, though, my memory isn't what it used to be, you know... back when I was young.

    Maggie, does everyone have a copy of A Straight Line to My Heart? *cries* I want that book so badly! I'm excited to hear what you think.

  5. I just finished Insurgent and it's pretty good but I didn't love it as much as I did book 1. I've heard great things about Gone Gone Gone I really want to read that one!

    1. I've been so unmotivated to read Insurgent. It's just been sitting on my Kindle. Maybe I'll just grab an americano and power through it at Starbucks. -M
