So behind on my reading compared to the rest of you, but I will dutifully post anyway!
#6 The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Bronte by Syrie James
If you have read Jayne Eyre or Wuthering Heights, you should read this book. It is a well-researched novel of the life of Charlotte Bronte, written in a voice very similar to that of her novel, Jane Eyre. Such a humble, sad life Charlotte had, with some remarkable parallels to the stories in her books. I've read all the Bronte sisters' novels and this book pays a nice homage to that family. Highly recommended!
#7 The Fault in Our Stars by John Green About two teenagers with cancer who fall in love... heartbreaking and yet humorous and warm and ever so smart. Read most of it in afternoon -- just couldn't put it down!
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.
