I should probably pick those up soon. I'm also intrigued by what you said about All the Bright Places and I'll definitely want to hear more of your thoughts on it after I've read it!<br /><br />I'm adding The Pearl that Broke Its Shell and Kill Your Friends. I love really fucked up dark humor (like American Psycho, as you mentioned), so I think Kill Your Friends would be a good fit for me. The Pearl that Broke Its Shell sounds like it could be really intense, but like a really important book that I, as a woman, should read.<br /><br />I'm glad you had such a good reading month! :-)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-60810859677398626952016-03-09T08:50:08.952+11:002016-03-09T08:50:08.952+11:00Adding the first two.
