Happy Friday, everyone! Let’s kick the weekend off with a few book reviews in fifteen words or fewer.

1. Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography by Lemony Snicket
A fun addition to the series; can’t remember if it illuminated any of the mysteries.

2. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
The art is gorgeous, but I always thought Max was kind of a dick.

3. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
I avoided this one for a while because I eye-rolled a werewolf romance. What was I thinking?!

4. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought the “twist” was a given.

5. The Snapper by Roddy Doyle
Love the Rabbitte family. Sharon shines here, and Doyle doesn’t shy away from hard issues.
