Currently Reading and Recommendations
Divergent was really good, definitely worth the library wait list. I just started Graceling (I'm on chapter 5), but I really like it already too.
Getting ready to start
tomorrow while my son is preoccupied with an appointment. I loved
and was really surprised at the end. I really expected it to be one of the other residents at Dromore to do the job but am not really disappointed. I should of known he'd be willing to do the job. Guess I should be happy it wasn't Lorena that did the job...lol It took me a while to get into this book and am still confused about the green apples that kept popping up in the book. I know there has to be a meaning there somewhere unless it has to do with the old saying about bad apples. Hopefully further books will explain how the ending wasn't wait I expected and how the green apples play in the book.
I'm currently reading the Host and hating it. I'm not sure why I feel compelled to finish a book that is not engaging.I'm looking for that next great read (prefer books that are literary) and haven't found it yet.
I'm reading The Lightning Thief, Ender's Game and still reading A Storm of Swords. Love them all so far!
I've read Aftermath. Imo two thumbs up..Love the dialogues in it. One quote that I really love: “Nothing easy is worth having.”Also help me please...Been a couple of days trying to figure out the title of a book about: a girl bookworm/librarian falling in love with a hot guy. It due to publish later this year or year 2014.

I'm currently reading
. The first 100 or so pages were really slow and a rehash of Beautiful Creatures. Finally, just as I was about to put the book aside, it picked up. So far, it's an OK book, but nothing great.
Currently reading "Escape from camp 14" .... I don't like the writing style, but the content is really interesting - there are lots of shocking facts about those camps in North Korea. If you're interested in that country, I highly recommend this book :))
Currently reading , an incredible book with well written prose, (Alan Lightman).Einstein's Dreamssimilar (although) not prose toSong of Two Worlds
The title may be off putting for some, but it's only about 250 pages and easy to read, subject matter wise, not tedious.

Hmmm..unfortunately feedbooks seem to have ebooks for a limited no. of titles, mostly 'classics'.
Wow! Just finished Legend. It was great! Definitely recommend it to anyway who's thinking about reading itNow I'm trying to decide if I want to read Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare next or Frost by Kate Avery Ellison
Trying to read Divergent! I didn't want to read it at first but everyone says it's good so I figured I'd give it a try!
Finished "Beneath a Southern Sky by Deborah Raney,Great read.
After two years of serving as a missionary in a remote area of South America, Daria has returned to the States to mourn her husband, reportedly killed while providing medical aid to a neighboring Colombian village.
At first, Daria finds comfort only in the daughter born to her after Nate's tragic death. As she begins to heal, she also finds a listening ear and a tender heart in her new boss, veterinarian Colson Hunter. Determined to move forward with life, Daria ignores the still small voice calling her to wait and accepts Cole's marriage proposal. But after the wedding, Daria's new dream life turns into a nightmare with the arrival of an unbelievable
telegram:"Nathan Camfield found alive. Flying into K.C. Int'l. via Bogota…"
Real page turner.

I just read an online sample of Three Weeks in December! Incredible, hope the entire book is as good.

I'm in the middle of Beautiful Redemption - Part of the Caster Chronicles (Beautiful Creatures series) and it's been great! It really gets your emotions fired up - the whole series does & EVERY book ends with a cliff hanger that has you begging for the next one. I have five books sitting next to me that I plan to read after I finish:
* Wicked by Gregory Maguire
*That Was Then, This Is Now by S.E Hinton
* The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
* Stolen by Lucy Christopher
* The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Has anyone read these books? How are they??? I'm really excited to start reading them!:)
I am still stuck on The Man it is slow going due to other issues I am trying to deal with before I can continue reading.
Marissa wrote: "I am currently readingThe Da Vinci Code"What do you think of it so far? I had a hard time getting into that one and ended up putting it down, but I know a lot of people really liked it. I'm not sure if I should have tried to stick it out.
Hi all, just joined Goodreads. I'm currently reading "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" by Ayana Mathis, just started so will be back with comments as I get into it. Happy Reading :)
Current loo read is Cornish Legends by Robert Hunt. Very interesting, to me at least lol. As a fantasy/sci-fi writer I like to keep a large stockpile of reference material. I have many books on the supernatural, the occult and myths on legends (mostly from Britain, but also around the world). Anyone that ventures into my study, clawing their way through the haze of pipe smoke, would no doubt think I'm some kind of occultist, haha!If I could recommend one of the books in my reference collection to anyone, it would be this: http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Th...
I had a battered, moth-nommed copy given to me when I was young. Still have it now. It's superbly well written and illustrated, and the way things are described as though everything therein were real rather than fictional, is what sparked my interest in the supernatural, myths and legends.
Well worth a read.
I'm reading We Need to Talk About Kevinand Sloughing Off the Rot at the moment and enjoying them both. I'm new to the group and I read all kinds of genres though I mostly stick to Urban Fantasy and Horror the last couple of years with a smattering of nonfiction books that catch my attention. I'm also a newly published author you can find some info on my book in the author promotions folder.

She has a novel out , covers in part the subject of obesity called 'Big Brother : A Novel' have you read it? I'm not sure it's been released yet.

I'm currently reading Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare.
I am currently reading City of Ashes (Book 2 in The Mortal Instruments) series.Also Sense and Sensibility.

It's either just come out or will be soon. I haven't gotten to read it yet but I did add it to my tbr. I'm about halfway in WNTAK. She's the first writer I've read in a long time that I wanted to take my time reading because her style is so rich and deliberate. You really do have to watch for the little details at points in the book.
Ellie wrote: "I'm currently reading Heart shaped box by Joe Hill"I really liked that one. He's more subtle than his dad and that makes his books very interesting. Have you read Horns yet?
I just found this gorgeously written and beautiful illustrated short story by the New York Times bestselling author
. It's called Fox 8 and it's written by a fox from his point of view. It is amazing. Speaks to so many topics about the human condition. Can't recommend it highly enough. Jo

Can't wait to read Big Brother.
I just started reading Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo. It's kind of depressing, but quite interesting.

I got it last year during Nederland Leest but I had never read. It's really interesting.
I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Seven: Fade Out - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Eight: Kiss of Death - Rachel Caine.
