Sophia (takikamimura) It's not a definite TBR pile for this week, but I think it'll go something like this:

Mature Monday: The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald or The Divine Comedy by Dante.
Timeless Tuesday: The Diviners by Libba Bray.
Whimsical Wednesday: Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson.
Thrilling Thursday: Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman.
Friday Feels: I’m between Wonder by R. J. Pallacio, Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell and We were Liars by E. Lockheart.
Series Saturday: Not quite sure just yet. If my copy of The One by Kiera Cass arrives by this week I’ll read it, otherwise it may be something like one of the books in the Chaos Walking Series by Patrick Ness or one of the 1Q84 books by Haruki Murakami.
Sunday Funday: Ready Player one by Earnest Cline, if I don’t read this earlier.

Oh my god! You're reading Animal Farm! That is my favourite book of all time! I hope you enjoy it.

I see we'll both be reading the same book on Thursday too, which should be fun, and so is Koajoua. That'll probably result in some discussion.

Erica - I agree that seeing what everyone else is reading makes it much more exciting, especially when people are reading some of my favourites like Animal Farm, Fight Club and The Book Thief.
