Wow,...Yeah, all down to mood and personal opinion.<br /><br />Wow, great holiday! :) Thank you for telling me where to find stats! Helpful, cheers! :)Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-38850771394298701452013-01-15T04:28:22.044+00:002013-01-15T04:28:22.044+00:00JO!

I think it's possible I could read it again and not love it half as much.<br /><br />And hahaha! I was on holidays, and I was staying up till 4am every morning. Maybe NOT so good for me, but still. AND GOOD READS STATS! YES!

I am in just such awe of Trumble for writing that book. She is amazing. CHANGE! So true!<br /><br />Catastrophic History just wasn't what I expected. I forget her name, but I didn't like the main character. She wound me up so much. I think it was because, at the time, I was expecting a completely different story which I was really in the mood for, and that's not what I got. If I read it now, I may like it more, but I probably won't read it again because of how much I disliked it. Does that make sense?<br /><br />Oh wow, thank you for stopping by my blog at such a late time! You could have left it for another day. :)<br /><br />Oooh, Goodreads tells you which books were long and short? I didn't know that! I'll have to look and see how!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828378728962868575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-79728247624311203802013-01-02T15:16:53.742+00:002013-01-02T15:16:53.742+00:00"Book that had the greatest impact on you in ...<em>"Book that had the greatest impact on you in 2012? Don't Let Me Go by J.H. Trumble."</em> JO. YES YES YES. SO MUCH YES.<br />DLMG had such a HUGE impact on me. It made me cry and <em>think</em>, and, most importnatly, <em>change</em>. I think it's a rare, and important, book that does that.<br /><br />AND OH NOES! I'm sorry you didn't love Catastrophic History. It's so funny. It's one of my favorite books of 2012, and I gave it 5 stars (I wonder if I still would if I read it right now?) but... I think it was one of those right time, right place books, if you know what I mean? I read it straight after <em>Saving June</em> which had a HUGE impact on me, and I think it was the perfect blend of happy/sad to follow it and keep me in love with reading and... it's strange. I know I had a very <em>emotional</em> reaction to it, as opposed to intellectual, where as a lot of the others books I read and ADORED in 2012 were more intellectual ones. DLMG was more of an intellectual 'WOW' for me, but... huh. I can't think properly. It's 2:02 in the morning and I'm running on energy drinks alone :P<br /><br />I wasn't sure about my longest/shortest, either, so I checked Goodreads and felt very chuffed for recording all my books ^__^Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381533012764037154.post-76257896385321861822013-01-01T15:21:30.900+00:002013-01-01T15:21:30.900+00:00Happy New Year to you, too!
