I continually see the promos for the TV show, but knew it was one that you need to watch from beginning to end. But books? That I can get behind. Now I must add those to my list.

That's awesome, though. I don't think I read fast enough to finish 17 books even if I spent a week relaxing on vacation. I wish I could … I'd definitely hit my goal of 50 books for the year!<br /><br />I actually had a book by Kimberly McCreight on my "To Read" list already (Reconstructing Amelia), and this one also sounds awesome.<br /><br />Have you watched the TV show they made out of the Wayward Pines series? I see previews for it all the time, but it looks like it could either be really awesome or really awful. I may have to check out the books, though!<br /><br />A Half Forgotten Song does sound lovely and poetic … Good to know I shouldn't get sucked in by the title alone!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-19030550702248261722015-07-15T11:21:44.847-04:002015-07-15T11:21:44.847-04:00I always forget that I like Sarah Dessen.
