Shelby’s Comments (group member since Jan 11, 2015)

Shelby’s comments from the 2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] group.

I couldn't decide whether to read this for this week or for the graphic novel week, but am going to keep it here for this week. This book got really good reviews and many reviews say how creepy it is-can't wait!

This seems like really good mystery!

I finished Cress and am so in love with it just as much as the other 2! Cannot wait for Winter!

I have this book set as my book to read for this week, but there are so many people also waiting for this book at my library that it will be many more weeks until I can get my hands on this book. I can't wait to read it's been recommended to me by a friend and I have heard great things about it.

I just saw the movie last week and loved it! Now I want to read the book-wondering if the book is better than the movie?

Amazing book-I loved this so much I went on to read all of Gillian Flynn's other books, which are all just as good as this one. The movie to this is really good too-great adaptation of the book, although I think the book is just slightly better.

Let me know what you think of it Michelle-I'm going to start it soon too.

Hope you enjoy it- read the other 2 in this series-they are great too!

I am finishing up "Scarlet" right now and about to move onto "Cress"-cannot wait! I love this series!

I've been waiting a really long time for this one from the library, so that must mean it's really good, right?

I've heard such good things about this author and cannot wait to read one of her books!

Diane Chamberlain is one of my favorite authors and I am really looking forward to reading yet another one of her books!

I just finished this one last week, so I'm ahead of the game for this week's discussion. I love, love, love this book and cannot wait to finish the whole series!

I am reading "Scarlet" right now and plan to read this one next!

I absolutely loved the first book in this series ("If I Stay"), and could not wait to read this book. I waited so long to get it from my library and I was hugely disappointed by it :-(

Hello, my name is Shelby. I just joined this group today (01/11) and am looking forward to this challenge this year. I have always enjoyed reading, but only really got into seriously reading last year when I became a stay at home mom. I enjoy mostly fiction, specifically young adult and dystopian books. My personal reading challenge is 75 books this year, which I expect to surpass, and this group should help me explore different kinds of books.
