I'm most excited about Elizabeth Strout's new novel, My Name is Lucy Barton. I loved Strout's book, Olive Kitteridge, because of its sharp insights into human nature. I expect this book to be similar. Reading Strout's books is like viewing human nature with the help of a magnifying glass.

Victoria Foort | 4 comments Of the books on my "want to read shelf," I am most excited about "The Count of Montecristo." Personally, I love revenge stories and this one seems to combine aspects of a heist novel as well. It is also a classic and has had several years worth of positive reviews.

Tom | 10 comments Of the books I added, I'm most interested in "The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinole". I'm very curious as to what happened there and why the crusaders decided to sack Constantinople.

Joe Ferraro | 6 comments Out of the books I've added, I am most interested in reading The Testing because it was recommended to me by a friend. It is a similar to The Hunger Games and Divergent mixed together.

Brandon Burns | 4 comments Out of the books that I added to my to-read section I most want to read Lost. King by H.B. Moore because it involves some elements of mystery, historical fiction, and a small amount of fantasy parts. This is a good overall combination of a book for me

Andrew Reimann | 6 comments Andy I am most excited about the book War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I am excited about this book because it is such a classic and will actually take me a while to read. I tend to enjoy older books due to the different ideas at the time.

Ashley | 4 comments I am most excited to read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close because based on the review, it seems exciting and moving. Also, I have heard that the movie is very good, and usually if a book gets a movie it is worth it to read the book.
