Hey Bieke I'm so sorry I missed this and just now saw this. Les Miserable is a great book and I really hope you enjoy it

Zara, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1) by Kendare Blake are both very good book. Give one of them a try.


message 303: by Dawn (new)

Dawn Jayne Finished the first of two challenge picks: Wild From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed

I gave three stars on this one. I didn't dislike this book, but it didn't work for me on a few levels. It's a memoir, but I couldn't form a connection with the author. I think she'd be a cool person to hang out with, but some of her decisions and reasoning simply stray too far from my own. This isn't a right or wrong thing, just very different.

Or alternatively you can continue reading the Chaos Walking series I saw you started but haven't finished...."

Tanya (bookaholic22) | 99 comments I'm on page 207 of Beautiful Creatures that Elise picked for me and I don't think I'm going to complete the challenge but we will see


message 311: by Liv (new)

Liv | 34 comments So I finished Defiance by C.J Redwine, (picked for me by Antionette) and I have to say that I loved it! I thought it had a great plot and interesting characters.
To me had the best mash-up of fantasy, adventure, and a little romance in the mix of things. Can't wait to read the next one!


message 312: by Ritu (new)

Ritu (ritu_r) I finished reading Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire last night and gosh!! I want my own travis :D thanks for recommending it to me partner


message 313: by Dawn (new)

Dawn Jayne I finished Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth - thank you for the suggestion, Ritu!
This book was incredibly difficult for me to rate because I enjoyed SO MUCH of this book and I'm very happy to have read it - finally!
I gave it a three, because of how much was left hanging at the end, how many questions were left unanswered. I didn't get the 'closed door' feeling I wanted. Despite the parts I loved - and there were many - I couldn't shake the frustration of all the unknowns. I'm more of a 'why' person, instead of a 'what' person.
I realize this is a personal pet-peeve, and I would not hesitate to recommend this book to others.
Thanks, partner!
