I have been very lax on the reading/blogging about reading front lately. I don't want to point any fingers
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins ★★★A mystery or a thriller: This was an okay read, I didn't find it all that thrilling just rather so-so. I'm not that big on this genre so it wasn't all that surprising that I felt that way.
The other two books I read are probably not going to be counted in the challenge, but here they are anyway:
The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend by Kody Keplinger ★★★Now I usually make it a rule to read a book before seeing the film adaption but this time around it didn't go that way. The film was quite loosely based on the book it would seem and I just found it much more enjoyable.
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins ★★★
I was super keen to read this after finishing Anna and the French Kiss earlier in the year but something about it really irked me. At first I was annoyed by all the obvious quirky character choices of course she was adopted by her gay uncle and is dating a 20 something rock star *yawn* but I got over it by the second half and liked it a little more plus I read like half of it on the train to and from the city.
I'm like 99.99% sure I didn't buy any books during August, the only book stores around here are QBD which is not my favourite. So that may be beneficial. Still don't have a local library card so may go crazy soon (even though I have many books I could read).
