The cover is AMAZING! If you can be the discussion leader, I am going to add it as our next monthly read.

I highly recc. Up in Flames by Nicole Williams( for mature audience). Great book.

[Gisbelle]

Thanks Angela :) I'll keep that in mind.

[Purvika]

I recommend Beautiful Disaster or On the Island

We cannot read Beautiful Disaster in the group because of the adult content and a lot of members in the group are still pretty young :) I might consider On the Island, though. Thanks :D

[Dennise]

Can we read "why men love bitches"?

It is not a YA. We don't read nonfiction :)

[Beatrice]

[harshini]

Yes Saving June!! Or her other book

[Gisbelle]

Sounds great :)

[Carla]

I haven't read Speechless or Saving June so that'd be great. I also LOVE Gayle Forman. I know you all read her in December, but how about her new one? Or do you need a breather?

[Gisbelle]

I heard Just One Day is not that good :( but maybe we can add it in weekly read :)

BUMMER! I've been too busy to check. I just watched Pride and Prejudice with Kiera Knightly a week ago and absolutely LOVED it all over again so, of course, I had to re-read the book for my millionth read. PERFECT!

[Gisbelle]

Ooh... I love that movie and the book also :D

[Maggie]

What's the deal with " Beautiful Creatures " by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, are those books any good?

I'm reading book 3 now. Book one is nice, but book 2 seems going nowhere. I like book 3 so far, though :)

Hmmm.... Maybe I will save them for summer reading. Thanks Gisbelle.

[Gisbelle]

No problem :)

[Purvika]

What about this

[harshini]

Isn't that the second book in a series?

[Purvika]

Yup ... I think .....first was already added in monthly read
Otherwise
Add

[Angela]

I highly recc. Find you in the dark by Meredith Walters and Up in flames by Nicole Williams.

[Gisbelle]

Aren't these books in New Adult genre?

I am thinking of adding New Adult folder in the group. Maybe we can do one new adult book each month.

[harshini]

It seems like here are a lot of New Adult being read these days

[Gisbelle]

Yes you are right. Not rec. to young readers like yourself.

Sounds good.

[harshini]

Yeah I know, guess I won't be much help over there

[Purvika]

Yup ... You need more like 4 years to read new adult genre :D

[Erika]

I love the idea of a adult folder monthly book. I would definitely do that.

[Gisbelle]

Yes, we can start next month :) I won't go to adult books, though. Let's start with New Adult. ;D

[Erika]

Yes that sounds perfect :)

[harshini]

Hey Gisbelle is On The Island YA??

[Gisbelle]

I guess so.

[harshini]

Okie thanks :)

I am halfway through Beautiful Creatures and thinking about seeing the movie today. Enjoying the book. Has anyone seen the movie? Should I finish the book first? I normally always finish the book first but hubby is going to be out tonight and I have the time. Thoughts?

[Gisbelle]

Elena, I finished the series last week. I liked it, but not loved it. The final book didn't disappoint me :) I heard the movie was a disappointment.

[Elena]

I saw the movie the other night and it was okay. I was glad I read part of the book because I think I wouldn't have gotten as much out of the movie. A lot was different as is normally the case.

[Gisbelle]

That sucks! I hate it when the movie is not the same as the book. :(

[Elena]

They combined scenes and characters which was weird. I'm pretty sure the budget wasn't huge. The acting was good though and the cast. Jeremy Irons and Emmy Rossum were really good.

[Maggie]

I downloaded all the books. Nook had them on sale for a couple of days. Saving them for summer reading.

[Elena]

Looking forward to reading the whole series. I have to take a break right now. Can't write and read at the same time. Messes me up so work first then play! I will probably have to finish this summer as well.

[Gisbelle]

I probably wouldn't have read the Caster Chronicle if my friend hadn't lent me the audiobooks.

[harshini]

I haven't ever had an audiobook. But they sound interesting. I have had some devices that can read to you. But they are a bit crappy lol

[Purvika]

Are audiobooks any good , never tried one, I like reading expressions, does the audiobooks express truly or are they just lame

[Gisbelle]

I was hooked after listening to Harry Potter. Some audiobooks are so great since there are sound effects, like gun shots, rain... I have listened to at least 50 audiobooks already. It helps me catch up with reading since I normally work in front of computer and can't read. I like listening to thriller than romance.

[Purvika]

Yeah ... It will be soo cheesy if you listen to the romance ... All those sound effect Lols

[Gisbelle]

yes :P So far I have listened to only 2 romance.

[Purvika]

Lols ... I bet you would have stopped in between to have a breathe :p ;)
