The Time Traveller's Wife - Audrey Nifnegger

No. Really, no. It's terrible. I read it and it was a waste of a good amount of time I could have spent doing something more productive, like watching grass grow.

I'm going to read it so I can have an opinion of it - when I do, I'll let you know what I think. :D I don't suppose you have any recs? <3

I think I came across as a bit harsh - sorry.

Recs? Uh. Watch me be vague and unhelpful!

> The Complete Collection of Sherlocl Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

> Dubliners and A Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man, both by James Joyce ( &hearts )

> Spilling the Beans on the Cat's Pyjamas by Judy Parkinson (it's about popular expressions and where they came from - I really, really like it)

> The Complete Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm (the originals were damn creepy - I only read a couple, but wow)

If you want, I can spam you with my To Read list later xDD

Oh, no, don't worry. I certainly didn't take it that way. :D

I've read the Brothers Grimm and the Sherlock Holmes. I'll add the other two to the list! :D

in my honest opinion? Yes.

But, that's only my opinion and I think I seem a bit rude here - if you want to read it, go for it. You might like it, but I /hate/ it. *shrug*
