Book Loves & Hates

I said I would post a list of the books I've read recently and here it is! Aside from my true go-to best-of-all-time books (also listed at the bottom), I pretty much either love or hate a book with no gray area in between. I'm putting them below with links to them on Amazon.com but if you're interested in knowing the why's of my like/dislike just let me know (I'm horrible writing book reviews).

• A Discovery of Witches- Deborah Harkness
• The Night Circus- Erin Morgensten
• Sharp Objects- Gillian Flynn
• Bossypants- Tina Fey

• Waiting to be Heard- Amanda Knox (and for the record I don't think she killed that girl but I do think she's got some seriously undiagnosed personality disorder or Asperger's)
• Fat Chance- Robert Lustig
• Looking for Alaska- John Green

Hated:

• My Story- Elizabeth Smart
