Books

One of my 30 before 30 goals is to read 30 new books.  Before I came up with my list of goals, I had been reading quite a bit, so I'm going to count those books because they were all read after I had turned 29.  I just thought I'd do a little progress post and see how many more I have left to go!

1.  The Fault in Our Stars
2.  Gone Girl
3.  The Storyteller
4.  The Book Thief
5.  Divergent
6.  Insurgent
7.  Allegiant

I need some suggestions.  I'm always on the hunt for some new books to read, so post any you'd recommend in the comments.  I'd love to hear what you all suggest.
