I love that you've added a poetry collection to your list! I love reading poetry (and share some of my favourites on my blog), but I actually need to be better about reading collections as a whole instead of just random poems each day. I think it's so interesting to experience a poet so fully through a collection and it's something I want to do more regularly.<br />Great list!<br /><a href="http://www.intheleaves.com/home/2016/2/23/top-ten-tuesday-out-of-my-comfort-zone-reads" rel="nofollow">My TTT</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927105260396589720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858889186420818075.post-44514028335284051112016-02-24T00:18:41.913-05:002016-02-24T00:18:41.913-05:00The middle section of the book was less thrilling ...The middle section of the book was less thrilling than the beginning and end, but I loved seeing Gilbert cast off what was expected of her to do what made her happy. <br />Thanks for stopping by!

The hype is vast with that book. And, well I am worried that the interesting and unique format of the book is the only thing truly special about it. I don't have a lot of shelf space, and books are expensive but borrowing this book as an eLibrary book isn't how I want to enjoy that book, because I do think a large part of what people like about that book is how stunning it physically is, and it is a stunning book. Maybe since I've already heard and read so many praising reviews I should read some negative reviews?<br /><br />My TTT: <a href="http://pagestoexplore.blogspot.com/2016/02/top-ten-tuesday-ten-booksseries-i.html" rel="nofollow">Marie @ Pages to Explore</a>Marie - Pages To Explorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748295851467280622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858889186420818075.post-30062756453116578962016-02-23T00:50:47.810-05:002016-02-23T00:50:47.810-05:00I bought Half the sky last year and haven't go...I bought Half the sky last year and haven't gotten to it yet, so happy to see it on this list and hear you enjoyed it.
