Oh, I find Attachements adorable and amusing. I especially enjoyed the email conversations and Lincoln’s snooping around. Hehe. As for Fangirl, it got me curious about fan-fiction. Cath seemed so obsessed I wonder if it’s they’re fun to read. ALSO, I find it cute whenever Cath reads her stories out loud and Levi, a guy who never really liked reading, close his eyes to listen.:D
To summarize, I find her books cute, playful, and easy to read. 🙂

I like your list. There’s a good range of reading what with Macarthur and all. I read The Martian recently. Engaging use of technology to tell a suspenseful tale. I’m reading a summary account of attempts to find Atlantis. The author is judicious about what might be possible and what shouldn’t be seriously considered at all. Hope you’re having a good week, Rosema!

Ohhh! I heard a lot of good review for The Martian but its length intimidates me! HAHA

The Ocean at the End of the Lane received five-stars from me to, it kind of has a “magical realism” element that makes me think you’d enjoy The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender.
