I hope you've liked the past 8 posts/reviews! I'm actually going to be taking a break from them for a while. I will start back up once I've finished one of the books I am reading now.
What I am reading now is Volume 1 of The Vampire Diaries and also The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

TWLC #8: "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green
Back of book summary:
"19 Katherines and counting...
When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact. On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an over-weight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun--but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and may finally win him the girl."
I have already revealed in this post my love for John Green and his books.
This one is no exception. He made me care for the characters. I loved the dorky, Sheldon Cooper-like main character, Colin; his over-weight, Muslim, joke-cracking best friend, Hassan; and their new, Southern "family", Hollis and Lindsey.
In most John Green books, the major plot line, I've noticed, doesn't show up until later in the book.And the protagonist faces challenges he/she never had to before. And yet another quality of Green's books that make them truly genius.
