message 1008: by Brittany (new)

Brittany Perry | 229 comments Hmm...ever read Tiger's curse series by Colleen Houck? bittersweet ending there. Or Anne McCaffrey's dragon riders of pern series? several of those have sad endings Dragonsdawn, Chronicles of Pern First Fall, and Moretta Dragonlady of pern are perfect for sad endings as well. Especially Moretta

message 1018: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassandra_ray) Finished reading What's Left of Me yesterday and it was okay. I'm starting Crewel right now. I really hope I enjoy this book, the past few books I've read have all been just okay!


message 1019: by Melissa (last edited Mar 25, 2013 07:09PM) (new)

Melissa I just finishedDivergent by Veronica Roth. If you like Dystopian, I recommend it. I am reading some Jerry Spinelli books which are more for intermediate (trying to find some for my son plus I love Jerry Spinelli's books - they usually have a great message). Just finished Wringer and currently reading Loser.

Now...for a great recommendation: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. After reading this I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Talk about an emotional roller-coaster :)

Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth Wringer by Jerry Spinelli Loser by Jerry Spinelli Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Soph ♡ Finished The Ninth Life of Louis Drax by Liz Jensen by Liz Jensen, after staying up til the early hours of the morning so that I could finish it. Highly recommend reading that one, if you haven't already.

Later tonight, I'll start The Host with Bonus Chapter by Stephenie Meyer by Stephenie Meyer.


message 1021: by Devi (new)

Devi | 29 comments I have read Gone Girl. Personally i think the book is good, but not too good. I just pity both of the characters, and i dont like them. The plot is well.. average, i think.


message 1022: by Emily (last edited Mar 26, 2013 08:11AM) (new)

Emily (creatorlimbs) New Reads:
He Loves Lucy by Susan Donovan
Urban Legends: 666 Absolutely True Stories That Happened to a Friend...of a Friend of a Friend by Thomas Craughwell
Strange Bedpersons by Jennifer Cruise

Re-reads:
Stray by Rachel Vincent
Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
The Good, the Bad, and the Undead by Kim Harrison
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

I've gotten further in the re-reads than the new reads but I suppose that's typical for me.

Finishing City of Bones!! Really good book, can't wait to know how it ends! DON'T TELL ME! haha :p


message 1024: by LordOfTheReads (new)

LordOfTheReads | 2 comments Hi everyone!

I'm currently reading Wayfarers by Winfred O. Cook and you know it's probably one of the most awe-inspiring books and feels a lot like something by Harper Lee.

It should be a best-seller.

:D I'll be doing a full review

You have a ways to go but then something very interesting happens :) you are correct that the diary is a clue. Please let me know what you think once you reach that point. You WILL know what I'm talking about when you reach it.

Megan | 8 comments I am currently reading Insurgent. I finished Divergent last week. But before that I was reading Lucid by Stoltz and Bass and I found the book to be very enjoyable and interesting. I would definitely recommend it.


message 1032: by emma (new)

Natalie Cormier I reccomend The Hobbit or The Historian (Elizabeth Kostova). Two of my favorites!


message 1037: by Sydney (new)

Sydney Mugerwa (corrosivemind) I tried reading Fallen Star by Jessica Sorenson and I have to say, It's a horrible pre-teen book. It's like I am reading little girl gossip.


message 1038: by Melissa (new)

Melissa (emtmelissa) | 16 comments I'm currently reading If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch which is really good so far (probably be finished tonight) and I'm also reading Hard Truth by Nevada Barr.


message 1039: by Anoosha (new)

Anoosha I am reading Spetimus Heap (by Angie Sage) nowadays. I have only just started and am on the 1st book. So far its ok. Its a kids series. Although at times, i do think that the noval is a bit slow at places. Its still a good book. So i would recomend it to anyone who loves fiction (with wizards and witches and magic) and does not mind a bit slow book.
Secondly Im reading The Hobbit. I know its a bit too old, but its AWESOME! Anyone like me who hasn't read it, SHOULD read it! Don't depend on the movie. As awesome as it is (and i hope the next parts are too), i would still say that you should read the book as it is the real story and the movie is a bit different at places like other lord of The Ring movies.

How are they? I really want to read the novals but first I want to know if they are worth reading.


message 1041: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah_something) | 2 comments I'm re-reading _In Cold Blood_. I can't get over the level of style Truman Capote has...amazing. I just can't find writing like this anymore (sad, really.) Highly recommended to anyone that hasn't read Capote, or is looking for some an amazing read that also has a "True Crime" element to it.

I agree. When I know a book is not going to end well, it opens up a whole new range of possibilities. Plus a sad ending is usually more emotional and so..."


Right, i just think that happy ending is too common. Im not saying that happy ending is a bad story, some are even a masterpiece. I just think that if its sad ending then people will be able to get more emotional, and know that not all things end well.

I thought they are going to be super great but they are not that great , I mean if you lower your expectation you may be able to go through them , I am seriously having very difficult time finishing them.

Swati I feel that way of the book I am reading. I just finished reading one of the best literature book Dr Zhivago by a Russian writer Boris Pasternak. He won Noble prize in 1958. Now I am reading The Man by Irving Wallace,however finding it difficult to concentrate on this book as my mind is preoccupied with previous book. Hope my reading turns around in few days.
