Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1)

World After


Oh Ashleigh, I loved Wool Omnibus, but I read it in 2012!

It was a toss up between Carolyn and Angela's books, Stardust and A Thousand Splendid Suns, for my #6. I think I'm in the mood for something a little lighter, so Stardust it is!

Thanks ladies for great lists :)

Oh I am sure you'll enjoy that one Rita! It was a great book :)

Too many good lists to pick from. I've already spied two that I already own...

My top five, #1 is #1 as it's the only one that got five stars, the other four have all gotten four stars so are not in any particular order:

1. Sunbolt by Intisar Khanani
2. The String Diaries by Stephen Lloyd Jones
3. Shameless Ambition by Robert Fanshaw
4. The Rain by Joseph A. Turkot
5. Diary of the Gone by Ivan Amberlake

I also have to add the book I just finished:Bloodlines by Vanessa Skye - 5 stars!!

I finished Time Will Tell by Fiona McCallum ★★

2. Christmas: Skipping Christmas by John Grisham ★★★

And just started this one:
8. Aussie Summer: Time Will Tell by Fiona McCallum

Finished my second Skipping Christmas - rather a let down. ★★★

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

And, happily I realised that another book on my Summer challenge list fits this challenge too - Time Will Tell

I started and finished Skipping Christmas today. Another 177 pages to my total, taking it up to 348.

About to start Time Will Tell

Finished Meritropolis, had started before today though, so can only count 70%. A total of 171 pages for me

I'll post an update on my pages later tonight - I'm hoping to finish my current book this afternoon :)

I didn't end up starting with Skipping Christmas, instead I have started with Meritropolis

When's the thread being launched? I might need a bit of time to work the top 5 out...

ETA - just saw your post Brenda that said within the week :P

I know exactly how you feel Brenda!! There's so many criteria that could make a book one of your top 5... highest rating, if it haunted you after you finished reading it, if you connected with one of the characters really strongly... it's a tough choice.

Finished my firstAll I Want for Christmas ★★★

I too had a bit of difficulty with E - I had to go further back in the list to find one that fit. Weird.

I'll be starting with the christmas read Skipping Christmas so I can get it read in December. Then followed up with Bloodlines
