Hi all I have just found and joined the group. Im currently reading Beautiful creatures and I can't put it down! I have the rest of the series winging it's way to me because im not going to be able to stop at book one and I dont want to see the film until I have read them all in case it ruins the experience for me.

Ooh and I love a recommendation so this thread has been fabulous in adding to my collection so far :-)

I'm reading that one as well. I like all the mythological creatures in the book. Reminds me of high school, when I had Greek and Latin classes.

[Nada]

[Yassemin]

We didn't read about mythological creatures in high school. I did read about them in other books, but it would have been fun I guess to read about them in school.

I just about to start

I finished reading today and would recommend it to anyone that loves fast paced fantasy books, as well as the first two in the trilogy.

Let me first say that I am honored to be posting in this fine group of readers and intellects. I am looking for assistance however and would rather state this up front rather than mislead. I am 100% convinced that should any or all of you choose to read “The Continuous Moment of You” there will be no regrets. This 104 page personal journey through a young man’s hard fought life will inspire anyone to carry themselves with a little more pride. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS READ. Thank you

[Valentine]

I'm currently reading 'The Art of Racing in the Rain'. Its a bit long, but I would recommend 'The Book Thief'

I read the book some months ago.
You are right, the topic is quite heavy, as it is about live in one of Mumbai's slums, but for me the interesting and also horizon widening aspects clearly dominate the sorrow.

I also heard Gone Girl is amazing. Most of my friends have read it. it's in my to-read list

I'm sorry but this really annoys me. There are loads of promotional threads so why are you spamming this one? I understand authors need to get there book out there but I find it really annoying when it's always in the most irrelevant places i.e this thread, rather than a promotional thread. I think it's rude. Sorry peeps. It's one of those pet peeves lol

[Vardan]

I would like to recommendThe Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge awesome read, really underrated

George RR Martin is an incredible writer, he has the uncanny ability of creating plausible characters, regardless of the emphasis that some readers place on that the majority of his work i.e s/f genre. A couple of weeks ago I finished 'Hunter's Run' by GRRMartin, Gardner Gorzois and Daniel Abraham, it was to say the least outstanding, in the writing , plot and topics it covered. The main character was 'hyper-masculine' but that did contribute to the plots development and dialogue.
I haven't read anything akin to Hunter's Run before, I don't know why it isn't recommended more often.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is Hunter's Run is excellent so is Game Of Thrones, for those that have started to or finished reading Song of Fire and Ice Series. Unfortunately it is often dismissed ,on the basis that it is juvenile because it is fantasy.

I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Eight: Kiss of Death - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Nine: Ghost Town - Rachel Caine.

I just finished Gone Girl and it was really good - very dark, very unpredictable, and very entertaining. I hope you like it, Sydney and Robin!



I'm currently reading Ready Player One, which I am enjoying for all its amazing 80s references!

[Mark John]

I'm done reading about 2 weeks ago. I love that book so much, it's full of action and made with thrilling revelations. Overall, the book is simply AMAZING! I'll definitely read
ASAP.

Last April 7, I started reading , I love Divergent Trilogy and its author, Veronica Roth.

[Cátia]

I'm currently re-reading The Host, it's a great book, and a great story;
I recommend anything by Robert Jordan, and George R. R. Martin not just the Game of thrones but also the Fevre Dream ;
And I can't stop reading the The Hunger Games;Catching Fire and Mockingjay, amazing books
And last (but not least) I'm reading theMagician: Apprentice

[Mais]

I finished Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins not so long ago and I think it's one of the best YA books EVER written .. now am reading "Let in snow" by the one and only John Green and Perfect chemistry by Simone Elkeles and am loving both :)

[Pink]

Wow I like everyone's current reads. I'm working my way through my first Manga books - Death Note. Then I'm going to read a chapter from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which I'm enjoying much more than I thought I would. This weekend I might read Rebecca for a group read, although not sure if I'm feeling much like it, so could be The Hobbit instead.

[Em]

@Laura - I really liked Ready Player One. That was a fun book!

Right now I am reading A Land More Kind Than Home. It started slow but it is picking up. It is keeping my interest but is not a compelling read.

[Aliyah]

I'm reading Silver Linings Playbook.....

I loved that movie and have been meaning to read the book. I'm putting it on my books to read list now. Let me know what you think of it.

[Anubhav]

hello!! I finished reading '100 hundred years of solitude' and 'as I lay dying'. both eternal masterpieces. I wanted to take a detour from classics and start with homer's Iliad, but I am a lil bent towards starting with Fitzgerald's 'tender is the night'. Suggestions pls!! :)

[Carmen]

I recently finished reading Alif the Unseen by Willow Wilson. Very different. Fun read for computer geeks and spiritual types.

[Ashley]

For those of you who've read the first two Delirium books and liked them then you might be disappointed with Requiem. Unless of course you're like a die hard fan who thinks any ending is good. I don't think anyone who just wants to see what happens should read it. I did and it was a complete waste of time.

I've been meaning to , but for financial purposes and book availability haven't read ALMKTH, I got We the Animals instead! I still haven't started that yet. What's the writing style in A Land More Kind Than Home ?

Rebecca is amazing - I reread it last year. I really hope you give it a try. Beautifully written, suspenseful and entertaining.

A trusted friend told me it's the best book she's read in a very long time. I'm waitlisted too - at number 684 or something...

Started reading The Mirage by Matt Ruff. Impulse read, cover looks average but it's alternate reality involving 9/11, America and the Middle East.

[Kristine]

I am currently reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth and re-reading Voyager by Diana Gabaldon.

I'm dithering over what to read next. Peter and the Stargazers or maybe The Great Gatsby....

[Cheryl]

I'm listening to Across the Universe and reading His Bonnie Bride.

I've been meaning to , but for financial purposes and book availability haven't read ALMKTH, I got We the Animals instead! I still haven't started that yet. What's the writing style in A Land More Kind Than Home ?

The writing in ALMKTH is beautiful but inconsistant. Passages like:

I stood up from the table and got me a glass from the cabinet and went to the refrigerator for the milk. I sat my glass on the counter and poured the milk until my glass was full, and then I put the milk back in the refrigerator and carried my glass to the table.

make me roll my eyes. What's wrong with "I got up and poured some milk"?

Another issue I had with it is one of the narrators is a 9 year old boy. It is written in first person and the flowery, literary writing doesn't fit in with the way a 9 year old boy would think and act.

It was a decent book but not compelling. I gave it three stars.

[Laura]

I just finished inheritance by Christopher Paolini and I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be

I finished reading The Man the re read was really fulfilling. Wrote my review.
