I always tell people to push through that one and continue with the series as it gets better:)<br /><br />I've also been hearing tons of good things about The Goldfinch. My cousin had a copy of it in his bathroom over Christmas (TMI?) and he was raving about it. Definitely on my 2016 to-read list!<br /><br />I love seeing wrap-up posts!

D: Terrible! That Sarah J. Maas series is tempting me, though; as is the Raven Cycle. I hear so much about both in the blogosphere that I figure there MUST be a reason.<br /><br />Aww, my blog was one of your favorite 2015 discoveries? I'm so honored! <3 Thank you! I'd say the same about your blog too (and I'm not just offering a return compliment--I really do mean it).Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-25711239990481505972016-01-09T18:48:15.956+00:002016-01-09T18:48:15.956+00:00SAME!

I read Gatsby twice this year; once on my own and then again for school, and it was during that school read that I really truly got it and loved it. This Side of Paradise is awesome, too, and I'm so happy I've found someone else who's read it! (I also read a collection of his short stories and they were divine.)

But I know lot of classics, espcially those written by men (*cough*), tend to have one dimensional women that the males idolize in the book. And they *might* have a completely manipulative, conniving female who makes a nuisance of herself. It really annoys me every time. It's like the authors are trying to say "Here, women, this what you all ought to be like. And here's what you shouldn't be like." It's like some lesson for the female readers out there. It drives me crazy. <br /><br />Sorry. Had to rant there. <br /><br />I do want to read the Goldenfinch. And Hemingway. Hemingway sounds good. a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797055056494841024.post-32005564873431784562016-01-06T13:58:20.148+00:002016-01-06T13:58:20.148+00:00Great post.

I haven't read The Goldfinch yet, although I have heard nothing but amazing things. I enjoyed Throne of Glass too, but definitely felt like Crown of Midnight was sooo much better and got me obsessed with the series. I was a total Chaolaena shipper too. Oooooooh, I definitely suggest getting to We Were Liars asap!<br /><br />Great answers! I hope you have a great reading year in 2016! :) Here's my <a href="http://reviewsfromabookworm.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/2015-end-of-year-book-survey.html" rel="nofollow">survey</a> if you want to check it out.
