I do have If I Stay on my TBR list though. <br /><br />I'm in the process of reading Since You've Been Gone and The Gallagher Girls Series. <br /><br />I think I need to check out Pivot Point. <br /><br />Aw. Reading everyone else's list makes my TBR list even longer.

So so good!<br /><br />Since You've Been Gone was also a cute, summery contemporary book and unlike Matson's other books doesn't hit you in the gut with emotion...but its a great story of friendship and discovering yourself. <br /><br />Pivot Point was another book I loved. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about it but adored West's Distance Between Us and so gave ti a shot at the urging of a friend and now I'm on the Kasie West fan girl bandwagon. <br /><br />I liked Easy but I know that its not a book for everyone. Its not perfect but it was a good NA read. As for Gallagher Girls they are young YA reads and I was just so-so on them...I much prefer Carter's Heist Society books. <br /><br />Today's blog post - <a href="http://www.tickettoanywhere.net/2014/08/top-ten-wednesday-books-i-must-read.html" rel="nofollow">Top Ten Wednesday: Books People Tell Me I MUST Read</a>Irishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06617716348424295398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596564390509397743.post-61983052692204906962014-08-20T16:13:18.292-04:002014-08-20T16:13:18.292-04:00Easy is a really good book!

I thought Since You've Been Gone was good, but really slow. I'd recommend Amy and Roger's Epic Detour if you're going to try a Morgan Matson book. And, as a rule, I hate NA, but I did really enjoy Easy, fwiw.

I'm on the 4th book in that series and I've already purchased the rest of the series. I've read both of the books in the Raven Boys series and enjoyed those as well.
