Jody (jodybell) | 3477 comments I remember another high school English class read The Crucible and wanting to read it myself ... 23 years later, I still haven't read it. :S

Zaz | 2969 comments The best is to have a look at the series you'll read in 2016 or finished. For example, there are three .5 in the Twilight series, if you're interested in reading more: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4536...
Others that can interest you because you shelved the series in your TBR and there are 0.5 books:

Anastasia (anastasiaharris) | 1730 comments Still Alice is such a great read. The movie is also really good.

Zaz | 2969 comments No problem with that, it's why seeing other plans and searching titles are interesting, they are really a good way to try new books :)
You'll have a neverending reading list in several months :p

Every time I look at someone else's list, I think "Oh, that book should be on my list." I'm making an alternative list "just in case" I run out of things to read...yeah, that'll never happen. :)

I watched the movie on DVD, cried uncontrollably, had nightmares for a couple days, and am afraid to read the book! Hits too close to home, I guess. I have read another Lisa Genova book, Love Anthony, and it was wonderful.

Zaz | 2969 comments Have a look at the "suggestion topic" (in mod corner), there are links for fairytales you can read online for free :)

Ah you're the second reading Peter: The Untold True Story. I'm looking forward to see your opinion about it (I'm a Peter Pan fan, so everything related interest me but I really dislike most of them).

I'll read The Deal probably in 2016 (week 44 or side-read). Romances are not my cup of tea and this cover is so... horrible... but I'm trying to read a little of this genre every year.

Jody (jodybell) | 3477 comments I think with the fairy tale, unless you're Danish or German you can always go with Hans Christian Andersen or the Brothers Grimm - that way they're at least easily accessible, and free!

You should check out the original Little Mermaid story. it's kind of dark but very well written.

L | 127 comments I too was flummoxed by what an "in between" book was but I decided that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them should qualify as a HP spin-off - but I see you already have that book in another category! You could always go for The Tales of Beedle the Bard x

That is a genius idea!
