While this isn't my favorite Wharton novel, it was still an engaging read. Wharton captured the harshness of poverty and New England winters.

Just lovely. Fitzgerald's prose and his use of color, Gatsby's disillusionment, and the American Dream. One of my favorites.

I'm not typically a fan of historical fiction, but this one hooked me fairly quickly. It's told in short chapters, and Sepetys manages to weave four different viewpoints together to tell the heartbreaking story of the Wilhelm Gustloff.

Fairly slow in the beginning, but picks up towards the end. While it was entertaining, I'm just not the biggest fan of James's writing. It always feels like he needs to tell you something, but isn't ever sure how to get his point across.. so he just uses more words.

I read this shortly after seeing BvS. Upon leaving the theater, I was upset, and All-Star Superman was just what I needed. This is Superman at his best: selfless and kind. A hero who fills you with hope. This comic still makes me feel some kind of way, and I always find myself thinking about it.

"I was burning through books every day -- stories about people and places I'd never heard of. They were perhaps the only that kept from teetering into utter despair."
