7. Divergent, Veronica Roth
While this is a great debut novel for Veronica Roth, I think she has a lot of room to grow. Action sequences were rather choppy, and character deaths were written so blasé that it really didn’t bother me when they died. Once the book really hit its stride and took off, albeit very late into the book, things started to flow better and the world started to open up. There is a lot of...

8. The Maze Runner (Trilogy), James Dashner

Best Books I Read in 2011
Hey guys, I said I would do this but I’ve been putting it off because I can’t properly order all the books I’ve read. I’ve finally narrowed it down to the top 10 (and the bottom 3) and can’t wait to share them with all of you!
I know I always have trouble choosing books to read, so I hope some of the books I post look interesting enough that you read them too :)

I love that all of the 30 Rock fans on Tumblr’s first reactions were like “I feel terrible but my first thought was ‘how will this effect the 30 Rock plotline’?

brimmingfull replied to your post: LOL ok I was way off
WHAT’S ENLIGHTENED? And Jesus, who on earth finds New Girl funny?!
omg it’s an HBO comedy that I have never heard of but am now going to watch and it better be good. New Girl really is not that funny (I’d give it a nomination over Glee though) but it is the exact type of show the Golden Globes love. ugh, these awards are fake...
