16. The Woman in the Window — (8/15-8/25)

17. Less —  (8-26-9/5) 

- A good funny book about growing up

18. The Silent Patient — (8/28-9/15)

- Egan's ability to capture different voices

- I remember key sections really well, like the hot air balloon scene

- I had too high of expectations

22. Why Buddhism is True — (9-23-11-22)

- Kind of dull

- Learned more about how the mind works but it was hard to understand the spiritual parts

23. 9 Perfect Strangers —  (12/01-12/10)

- Too long and dragging for little result

- Not much action

24. Matilda —  (11-09-12-16)

25. Ecotopia — (8/3-12-28)

- Loved it, very thought provoking

26. Gone Girl —  (12-13-12-20)

- Enrapturing even on second read

26 books is good! I didn't read a single book all of my spring semester of university because I was having a hard time but I still read some really good books this year.
