I really enjoyed Inkheart! In fact I am on Inkspell now. Inkheart has been made into a movie a couple of years ago and plan on adding it to my Netflix list.

Hillary, my two 5 star books this year included 11-22-63 and Gone Girl. Have you read Gone Girl? I can't describe how well it was written. I absolutely loved it! Reading over your book list it looks like we have the same taste in books. Let's be "book friends".

This book is a strong 4.5 star. In fact this is the first Stephen King book I have read. It is a thought provoking book on how we may effect others even by a slightest action.
