Not the best of the trilogy. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the new characters. Didn’t keep me glued to the pages the way “Catching Fire” did.

Still a great trilogy. Looking forward to the rest of the movies

Already saw the movie.
Great movie.
Great book.

Great book.
I’ve already seen the Movie “The Hunger Games.” and this book was available from the library before The Hunger Games was.

Kept me curious the whole way!

A non-fiction novel about a sports writer (Mitch Albom) who visits his old Sociology professor Morrie Schwartz who is dying of ALS. In their last visits, they discuss the meaning of life (and death) through conversations about acceptance, communication, love, values, openness, and happiness.

What a great book.
Highly recommend!

As a followup after reading James Frey’s “A Million Little Pieces” – this book was interesting. Not quite as spellbinding as his other novel but it was still good enough that I felt compelled to continue reading even when I needed to go to bed.

As a novel composed of several intermingled short stories that follow the lives of different people who live in Los Angeles, it was easy to read and the interjections of one story at the end of a chapter from another story made this novel easy to put down between chapters when needed.

This was a great book. It took a couple of tangents (as I feel many non-fiction books do) but it was a great read into how we form habits and how we break habits.

I would definitely refer back to this book when deciding to try something new, or trying to remove a habit from my daily routine.

Highly recommend

Wow, it’s been a while. I guess I’ve been feeling pretty busy this past year.
But still. It’s no excuse. Especially since I don’t necessarily actually ‘read’ all these books. Many of them I listen to in audio book format during my commute to work.

This was one of them.

I first heard about this book from a podcast about introverts – which I definitely am.
My expectation for this book was to finish it feeling very affirmed that being an introvert is okay and that society is simply set up to under appreciate the less vocally inclined. However, like many non-fiction books, I always feel like there are so many tangents taken with several anecdotes that have me wondering why on earth the book went in this direction. This book was no different. If anything I finished the book with a distinct feeling of uneasiness. Yes I am an introvert, but I am not purely an introvert. I have several characteristics about myself that are extroverted. Because of this mix, I ended up feeling a bit lost as to how to truly be myself and be an effective leader at work and an appreciated member of my social groups.

I do appreciate the overall tone and intent of this book, but I’m glad I only borrowed it from the library instead of buying it.

It does make reference to many other authors, however, that I am now very interested in looking into.

I didn’t read the book in its entirety only because some parts near the end were not relevant to my situation. and a good chunk of the pages at the end were ‘workbook’ pages.

I really enjoyed this book. It helps me identify my own needs to be happy and how I can help make the people I care for happy also.

I especially appreciated the concepts of the 6 love tanks:
1. Security
2. Variety
3. Love and Connection
4. Significance
5. Growth
6. Contribution

I need to make sure that I rank these in the order that fits my own priority and ensure that the #1 love tank is always full. (once that one is full, I can then proceed to fill the other tanks.

I need to know the order of priority of the love tanks for my partner and ensure that I help fill these tanks in that order.

What a great book.
Definitely worth another read when time requires/desires it.

Wow. this book took forever. It wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. A bit of historical fiction – fine. But I kinda thought there would have been more turmoil between Clara having to choose between Mr.Tiffany/the love of her job vs romantic interests.

I had to borrow this book twice from the library but it wasn’t uninteresting enough that i could warrant not finishing it. I’m glad I did. Probably won’t read it again. But it was still a nice historical piece of fiction, which I have to admit is a nice chance of pace. (feel like most of my entries are ending with those last two sentences often.. hmm.. still trying to nail down the type of genre that I actually truly enjoy reading i guess.)

Think I found this book on Oprah’s book club list.

It’s a realisitic story as a marriage and family falls/is broken apart. It’s very sad. Very real. Not sure what I thought I was doing reading a book about a divorce when I’m starting to meet new people. yeesh.

Good book.
Have no desire to read it again.
But it was a worthy read.
