The fourth is okay. But then they get progressively worse and worse, and honestly I thought the last book was a joke. Which was really a shame, because I LOVED the first three.
I actually really like the Beautiful Creatures series. The movie looks bad, in my opinion, but I thought the series was fun and different from a lot of YA books out now. I have the final one and I can't wait to read it!

I am currently reading Harry Potter and the half-blood Prince. I want to read the next Harry Potter book. I am also thinking about reading The Perks of being a wallflower or The Fault in our Stars.
I am currently reaDING Ths Sisters Montclair by Cathy Holton. Good so far. Just finished The year of Living Biblically by A. J. Jacobs which had some merit but I could not get all they through.
Currently finishing The Host by Stephanie Meyer and wanted to suggest Plum Island by Nelson DeMille. It's a good mystery novel and John Corey is such an interesting character.Also I was thinking about buying Thirteen Reasons Why and reading it tomorrow but I wasn't sure if I would have already missed most of the discussion

It is turning out to be good & I'm definitely watching this movie after reading this :)
I started (and finished) "The unbecoming of mara dyer" and its sequel this week. I just finished the second one. My god, they are amazing!
Listened to Wuthering Heights - Emily Brontë I don't approve of the nature of what she wrote about, maybe in her days it was ok for the style of writing and what she wrote, but for me it wasn't enjoyable. I tried to conjure up images different to how it was being read, but to be honest, I just couldn't get it out of my mind of how an egotistical and arrogant tyrant who was adopted could turn out to be such a evil person.

When is the movie supposed to come out? I'm even later to join the ride and probably won't even start the series for another couple months due to other reading.
Just finished The Timekeeper by Mitch Albom. Really good, at least in my opinion. Perfect for someone who's always rushing in life--which is most people.
just started reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I am currently reading 'When God was a rabbit' by Sarah Winman, I would recommend it, it's very funny & an emotional rollercoaster :)
Hi. I'm new to the group. Has anyone read Divergent or the Hush, Hush series? I'm looking for recommendations for books like these.

Rachel wrote: "Hi. I'm new to the group. Has anyone read Divergent or the Hush, Hush series? I'm looking for recommendations for books like these."Loved Divergent ... actually just checked out Insurgent this week from the library!

I've the first two Harry Potter books and took a break from it to read The Faults in our Stars. The Perks of being a Wallflower is in my list too. After i'm done with Insurgent - i'm diving back to the HP books.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer's Comrade by Mark Twain. I read Tom Sawyer about a year ago and been wanting to get to this one. It certainly takes effort but very worth it. :-)
Rachel wrote: "Hi. I'm new to the group. Has anyone read Divergent or the Hush, Hush series? I'm looking for recommendations for books like these."I've read both of those and love them!
If your looking for something kind of similar, like in the same genre, I'd recommend the Mortal Instruments or Infernal Devices series. You might like the Beautiful Creatures series or Shatter Me or the Iron Fey series, too.
I am currently reading the 5th book in the A Song of Fire and Ice series (Game of Thrones). I love all the details and the intricate plot lines. My husband, his daughter, his brother and sister in law, and some friends of mine recomended it.
Game of Thrones smells good. I want to read it. I'm currently reading City Of Glass and it makes me cry.
I'm currently reading the Pretty Little Liars series. I really like them. I loved to watch the series, so that's why I end up with the books.It's really easy to read, the writer has a nice writing style. Every time the clue is different than you thought it was going to be. Although, I'm reading the 10th book now, and I'm starting to get a little bored at the series now (a little too much the same and it's getting to be far fetched). And the writer doesn't always do research on what she writes (there are no o's with stripes through it in Finnish language).
Though I really liked the book. I recommend them if you like high school books / chicklits / girly books with some tense in it.
Btw: you guys give so many nice recommendations, my to-read list is getting so long! Haha, I definitely have to read faster.
I am currently reading A Million Sun's, book 2 in the Across the Universe series by Beth Revis. Loved the first book and I am greatly enjoying the second book so far. Almost reminds me of the Delirium series with their views on society and human behavior.
I highly recommend anything by John Green. But some other fantastic books are...-Divergent Series By Veronica Roth
-Delirium Series By Lauren Oliver
-I Am Number Four By Pitticus Lore
-Dream Factory By Heather Helper
-The Staticitial Probability of Love At first Sight
I love to go online at Amazon and order used copies of books I have always wanted to read for sometimes as low as $1 (plus shipping). I like the idea that other people have held and enjoyed the book before me. I started to read the first book of that series, "A Game of Thrones" and was really starting to get into it, but I left it at a family gathering and now my mother is holding it hostage, saying I have to visit her to get it back.
Just finished "Wuthering Heights" - hated it.
I'm currently reading "The Book Thief" - I think I'm the only one who never read this before. The characters are very endearing, but it is about such a sad time, the Holocaust. I don't want them to die!
I just got "13 Reasons Why" in the mail yesterday, so I guess I will start that next, at least I know that main character is already dead, so I don't have to worry about when or if it will happen.
I don't know whether I want to read the March Book of the Month pick, "The Fault of Our Stars" - sounds like more suffering and death. I need something happy!
Finally reading City of Bones... It's about time, I know :-/
I have been fully enthralled in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich and just finished #14. Needing a break from that chaos I picked up Savages by Don Winslow (talk about chaos!). It is AWESOME! Definitely not for everyone (the first chapter is simply, "F*** you.") but I love it. Way better than the movie, duh.

Laura posted somewhere that we are reading "Divergent" also.

The Fault in our starts is a terrific and tragic book.
Has just finished Bad Blood: A Vampire Thriller - J.R. Rain Was a great book by 3 different authors who I have never read before. Will definitely keep an eye out for the next in the series if they do any more. Now I am going to read Devil's Waltz - Jonathan Kellerman which I need to read to get the series read to catch up with the publishers lol.
I just finished reading Shades of Darkness by Parker Stevens.. wow what a great read. I loved it. The characters were interesting and well developed and it combines two of my favorite things, vampires and the Titanic. I reccomend this book for anyone looking for a good hot read

I don't know if I said this already, but I'm reading Phantastes by George Macdonald. It is a great book, but I would also like to find some fantasy short stories that approach the idea of parallel universes. :D
Just finished The Third Twin by Ken Follet it was ok quick read because I loved his Pillars of the Earth (way way way better) and I'm now reading his Key to Rebecca which is better than the The Third Twin but no where near as good as Pillars. Before I finished the Game of Thrones series by George RR Marting..Amazing!
Greetings fellow booklovers! Just joined up today looking forward to the Fault in Our Stars..already read Divergent and it ROCKS! Currently picked up the new Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller, very engaging so far. Finished up Mr. Monster by Dan Wells. Really liked it except for one moment, the rest was great. Happy reading!
I love reading the suggestions! Not that I need my to read list to get any longer! Right now I am working on the Jack Daniels series by J. A. Konrath, this series is like crack to me! I am really looking forward to reading Divergent! I am most likely the only one that hasn't read Hunger Games in here but it is also on my to do list.
I haven't read Hunger Games either...
Just finished with
I've read some not so good reviews about this book but personally I liked it and enjoyed it. I'm currently reading
