    Husband's Secret
    What Alice Forgot
    Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
    Me Before You (!!!)
    The Fault in Our Stars
    My husband really liked Unbroken. Historical NF junkie DD1 is actually reading it.

    For those who like paranormal romance: http://www.amazon.com/Lily-Nile-Step...stephanie+dray It's historical fiction with a paranormal aspect. There are three books in this series. I haven't read them but heard they are pretty good. The author writes a lot of paranormal pieces.

    A bit late to the game but enjoying catching up on my reading during the winter break. I recently read:

    Me Before You - liked it lot, didn't love it as much as I hoped I would.
    The Invention of Wings - just meh
    The Garden of Letters (from the author of The Lost Wife) - loved this one!

    I read three bestseller-y books over the holiday.

    All The Lights We Cannot See- is a real page turner and transcendent in parts. But the villian is a weirdly cartoonish.
    The Martian- entertaining for engineers, real science in a sci fi novel. Not great literature. Very guy-friendly. I enjoyed it but didn't finish it.
    We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves- if there's any way for you to read this without spoilers, do so. Right now. If you know what's coming, it's still worth reading.

    You got me on that last one. I know nothing about it, never even heard about it before. Just read the sample on my Kindle and I'm hooked. It better be good or you owe me $7

    Never even heard of this, so I'm intrigued.

    I read a great YA book "Eleanor and Park". Awesome. Very quick read.
    "The Rosie Project" was funny, I thought it would be annoying, but it wasn't at all.
    "Station 11" post-apocalyptic, but not your usual post-apocalyptic book

    Yay!!!
    The author also wrote The Jane Austen Book Club a few years back, if that rings a bell. Also good but the newer book was better.
