No, but I'm very interested in KIN, and pretty much everything he's written. How about yourself?

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments I really liked Sharp Objects, it was really messed up at times but so very interesting. Dark Places wasn't Flynn's best in my opinion so I might suggest reading that before Sharp Objects. I kept comparing it to her others and I think that hindered my enjoyment of Dark Places. I wish it would have been the first one I read.

Holly | 1184 comments Thanks for the recommendation Chris.


message 557: by Chris (new)

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments No problem, like I said I know I kept comparing Dark places to Sharp Objects and Gone Girl the whole time I was reading it. Sadly it fell short of expectations for me. So hopefully if you read Dark Places you will be able to enjoy it more because you don't have that comparison.

Thank you, Janie. I've yet to hear anything remotely negative about Burke!

Ok so I got a few books. I got 3 more of laymons books that I did not have. I think I have read almost every one of his books lol. So tonight I got Dark Mountain, Among the Missing, and Beware!. I also got This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti. And then I got 2 more of the Maximum Ride series Angel & Fang. So I got a pretty good haul. I am happy!

message 570: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 73 comments 14, Weaveworld, and a nice paperback of Firestarter from my favourite UBS.

My mom also gave me a brand new copy of The Night Circus the other day. I'm not sure what possessed her to buy it, as it's not her type of book at all, and she hasn't read it or even opened it.


message 571: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Courtney awesome that you got Firestarter. I still need to buy that one. I did not care for The Night Circus at all. Have you read that one?


message 572: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 73 comments No, I haven't! That sucks that you didn't like it, it seems the reviews are really mixed on it.


message 573: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Yea I just felt somewhat misled by the description of the book and was expecting farm more than I got. It really was disappointing to me.


message 574: by Tee27 (new)

Tee27 | 96 comments I've just bought A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks
and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass .

They're the first physical books I've purchased in a while since I read most books on my Nook.


message 575: by GeneralTHC (new)

GeneralTHC Is THE NIGHT CIRCUS a love story? I didn't get that far into it.

Eh I guess it got there. (view spoiler)


message 577: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments I just bought the Inkheart trilogy. I've heard good things so hopefully I won't be disappointed!


message 578: by Chris (new)

Chris (cbrunner11) | 674 comments Well I checked my email late, but I just bought More Twisted: Collected Stories Vol. II for my Kindle. It is an amazon daily deal so jump on it while you can if you might be interested.

I own it in Hardback and it is signed by the author, but to be able to have it anywhere I am and for only 2$, I jumped on it. Very happy I found this.


message 579: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Thanks Chris, will definitely check it out :)

I have read some of the Mortal Instrument series, but not these, I'm glad you are liking it so far. I want to get back into those series but have so much on my to-read plate already.

Holly | 1184 comments I just bought Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson.

I hear good things. My wife read it and really liked it. It is on my to-read list but not sure when I will get to it.


message 585: by Holly (new)

Holly | 1184 comments It sounds really good. I can't wait to read it!

Isabel, I wanna get Unremembered, that sounds like a great book. I could have gotten it today but I dont really wanna have it in hardback. So will wait and see how soon it can hit paperback.


message 597: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments I want to start it straight away Janie, but I ordered it from Book Depository so it will probably take at least two weeks to arrive. I thought about getting the ebook but it costs more than the paperback!


message 598: by Janie, Group Owner & Book Addict (new)

Janie Johnson | 6303 comments Mod
Michelle 2 weeks would be fine with me. I am about to start a buddy read with Lee I think on Incarceron. And then I wanna follow through with the 2nd one Sapphique. So just let me know when you are ready to go on that, I will be waiting with bells on! ;)


message 599: by Shell (new)

Shell (shellcampbell) | 757 comments Awesome Janie, sounds like a perfect plan. I'll let you know when it arrives :)
