But I haven't. I think I own books one and two, but at this point, who knows. They may end up donated. That said, the new covers sure are pretty! :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Jess.

I got bored reading The Great Gatsby for school and just bought the Cliffs Notes (ahhh, old people problems ;) ) I am reading your Boy With The Cuckoo-Clock Heart review now, so that is fun! And REQUIEM, man, do not get me started on Requiem. We may have discussed this before, but I loved Pandemonium (as one of the three staunchly #TeamJulian members) but Requiem.... what even!? IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY EVER END. (Sorry, I may never actually forgive Lauren Oliver for that book!)

I never ...Gotta agree with you on The Great Gatsby. I never got the point... although I've loved other books by Fitzgerald. I did not like Vinegar Girl at all -- it felt like the Shakespeare plot was being forced into such a contrived version, and it just didn't work. I actually enjoyed Cursed Child, despite the plot issues. I'm seeing it on Broadway in June, and I"m so excited! Great list. :)Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278177602258496039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513140108485649021.post-41617432239486111202018-01-31T03:03:16.681+00:002018-01-31T03:03:16.681+00:00I loved The Great Gatsby, but yeah I can see that ...I loved The Great Gatsby, but yeah I can see that not being for everyone!

Also, I read Peter Pan (the original) for the first time a few years ago and it was SO WEIRD!!!

They're on mine too! I despise The Great Gatsby, and I thought The Cursed Child (as the script, I've never seen the play) was just a disservice -and at certain points an insult- to HP fans. <br /><br />I bought The Gift a while back, but still haven't read it. Am kind of hesitant to do it now :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356820854329055719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513140108485649021.post-48822361361671029992018-01-30T08:19:17.803+00:002018-01-30T08:19:17.803+00:00I've heard that about Peter Pan too (I've ...I've heard that about Peter Pan too (I've never read it myself) and frankly it makes me want to read it less. And that's good to know about Requiem, since I do plan on reading more of Lauren Oliver's backlist at some point. Maybe some of her backlist lol.
