I haven't read any Murakami yet, but his other books look intriguing too! I actually thought of you when I read about his new book – I think it has the promise of weirdness and might be right up your alley.

Yeah, it was a really interesting book with some great characters. The end was a bit too tidy for me, but that's part of why I'm excited to read the sequel – maybe he'll messy it up a bit! I want to read The Bone Clocks, but I have to admit to being a little bit intimidated too!

Yes, I did. It wasn't perfect, but I thought the premise and characters had a lot of potential that wasn't realized in just the one book, so as soon as I heard it's going to be a series, I was pretty excited to keep reading! It's kind of like a cross between The Mentalist and Criminal Minds – but a teen version. So if you're into that kind of thing, definitely worth checking out!

Yes, I am SUPER excited about both of those! *wishes for fall to get here faster*

I read Tina Fey's book and it was really amusing, so I figure maybe Amy's will be just as good!

Oh, tell me about it. At this rate I won't even finish a quarter of my TBR list in my lifetime!

Yep, it's looking like being a good fall for reading!

Yeah, I loved the Rosie Project, though I wasn't quite as fond of the ending. I didn't know it was going to be a series, so I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes!

Me too!

What a coincidence, I just put Amy Poehler's, Lena Dunham's, and David Mitchell's books on hold at the library! Great minds think alike. I love Haruki Murakami, but I actually don't even know what his new book is about. Definitely looking into the other things on your list/becoming you now, bye.

Have you read The Naturals? I've looked at that book several times, but haven't read it. I hope you enjoy all of these books when you get around to them.

I haven't read any of these either, in fact, some of them are very new to me and now need to be added to my never-ending TBR! The Rosie Effect is the only one I'm familiar with having read the Rosie Project this year, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

I can't wait to read The Rosie Effect. I thoroughly enjoyed The Rosie Project.
