I'm really glad you reminded me of Rainbow Rowell! I read Fangirl last year, and I really enjoyed it; and I've been thinking of checking out some of her other books.
I can't imagine what it must be like to have read one whole book already this year, let alone several. I used to be quite a voracious reader, but I just can't do that anymore. It's hard to explain - I tend to get comfy and fall asleep reading in a chair/on the couch; I can't read in bed for reasons of discomfort; and if I read too long, my eyes go bonkers (as they do when doing any close work), which is a highly technical term (*g*) I use to explain how doing close work for any length of time makes my long-distance vision blurry, and then takes hours for it to recover. My eye doctor says that's typical for my age, but I don't know anyone else who has the problem, so ...
However, I have read about a half of a book this year, along with the daily spiritual readings I do in the morning, so if I can manage one or two a month, I'll be doing well, for me. :)
