If you're looking for a novel that has a true beginning, middle and end, this is not the book for you. Sorority by Genevieve Sly Crane tells the story of various sorority sisters in bite sized short stories. The story unwraps to reveal the story of Margot.

I went into this book expecting a full story and not various short stories. That in itself took me a bit to get used to. Though it wasn't a format I was expecting, I still enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and I liked that each person had their story to tell. I liked that I could relate to multiple characters and see their lives. I have to say, I'm glad I never had the urge to join a sorority. Though I did like the book I have one issue. My one main issue is that the book feels a little incomplete simply because there was no true end. I like having an ending so this book just doesn't sit right. It did work with the story though.

All in all, I enjoyed it.

"My first favorite film is The Shining by Stanley Kubrick. I am a huge horror film fan. I love them so much. I’ve always loved them. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been attracted to scary stuff; I don’t know why. When I was younger I would watch a lot of the cheesier process-of-elimination slasher ’90s films. And then I feel like, as my tastes matured a little bit as I got older, I found The Shining, which is a movie that my dad had always spoken about with this weird fear, because he’d never finished the movie. He’s like, “The one film I’ve never been able to finish in my life is The Shining.” So I grew up like, “What is The Shining?” And then, finally I watched it, and it was just incredible. Well, Stanley Kubrick’s my favorite director, so you’ll probably see a lot of his films in the top five. I just love that movie so much, and it’s my favorite on-screen performance of all time, from Jack Nicholson. I think that he’s absolutely incredible. I’m ready to play a role like that."

"I’ll give it a shot. “Favorites” questions are my least liked questions because I’ve never been any good at favorites. But I’ll give it a shot. I’ll probably disappoint every fan out there. The ones that stick out as being my favorites, most of them are from when I was young, because movies just meant something different to me when I was a kid than what they mean to me now. They still mean a lot to me, but also it’s, once you start working in the film business, your appreciation shifts. The Neverending Story, without a doubt. I loved that movie. I thought the girl in that was hot. I thought she was so cute. I was like, “I want to be her when I grow up.” Wear a necklace on my forehead and say, “Call my name, Sebastian. Call my name!” I remember, I was living on an island; we didn’t have a movie theater, we just had a town hall. Every now and then they would drop a big sheet and a projection thing. We’d sit on wooden chairs. So, The Neverending Story."

It was good. I read it over a year ago so the details are a bit fuzzy, but I loved the premise of a group of what are basically space pilgrims, setting off to a distant planet. There are some interesting twists to the story. I loved the details of the ship and world building.

I enjoyed this book. It was a short sweet read. The only thing I didn't like was it was wordy. Seemed like a lot of words to say one thing but other then that I liked it a lot. It was funny and loved the chemistry and the ending was a perfect way to end :)

This was a good book. It definitely kept me enthralled. I did feel that at times it was a long read. It took me longer than I expected to read and I'm usually a fast reader when I have the time. All in all it was a good fantasy read with very vivid details.

This is very clever, I thoroughly enjoyed every choreographed minute of it. Not quite what I expected as I assumed it was just a comedy but the music added a fantastic twist. Loved the tequila bit!

Gave a 9 star because the end got a little silly!

This book reminded me of fairytales that I used to read when I was a little girl. I was addicted to knowing how it was going to end. It was heartwarming and gave me a ton of feels (0 more)

Surprised
I was pleasantly surprised. Although it wouldn't be a mission impossible movie without running, motorcycles and car chases. I may think Tom Cruise is absolutely bonkers, but I must admit he makes a damn good movie.
