Teamfiction | 1 comments Currently reading The Elite, the second book of The Selection series by Kiera Cass and it's amazing. It's however, all about a fight for a crown, as well as a newfound love with the Prince. Kind of reminds me of the Hunger Games without all the blood or fighting, but highly recommended. :) xThe Elite

I just read The One and only Ivan. While it is a children's book, I thought that the message was appropriate for all ages. Nice easy read and Ivan the Gorilla :o)

I read the first book and didn't go any further. *shrug* I didn't think it was as great as some people made it out to be, nor did I find it as offensive as some others said it was. I think the thing that bothered me the most was the food rules! (but that's just me) Like everything I've heard different things about the next two books. I'm just not moved to read them.

Aηahι- Aηι:{P  (ani--justkeepbeingawesome--) oh I was about to read thirteen reasons why! but didn't knew if it was good :P I just finished reading Hate List by Jennifer Brown and It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini these are amazing books!

I read them. They were not my cup of tea at all. I thought the writing was terrible. I didn't really think there was much of a story, just jumped from one sex scene to another. I don't understand all the hype. I don't understand being with someone who enjoys violent sex like that. Most people rave about them though. What did you think?

Liana Goode (liana_goode) | 21 comments I am currently reading: Fatal Choices by anne morgellyn Psychological suspense thriller. Which is free on amazon at the moment http://amzn.to/17sGwqF
Blurb:
Louise Moon believed she knew about death.

After years of working in a morgue, she thought nothing could shake her.

But when her close friend Buz Vubrin goes through with an assisted suicide at a Geneva clinic her world is shaken to its core.

Louise had been dreaming of a new life with her husband, Androssoff, working on a medical research project in New Zealand.

But in the wake of her friend's death, Androssoff returns to London while Louise sets up home in Geneva, giving her space from her struggling marriage.

As Louise attempts to reconnect with Androssoff and look after her young son, her life is thrown into further turmoil when she meets Joffey – a terminally ill session musician who is considering assisted suicide.

She wants to persuade him that life is worth living?

But is it? And as she struggles to hold her own life together, will she be able to save someone else’s?

Some choices in life, Louise is about to discover, can be fatal. And sometimes there is no way back to the life you knew.

'Fatal Choices' is a gripping and topical psychological novel of love,life and death. It completes the Lousie Moon sequence of books that started with Remains of the Dead and continued with Grave Truths and The Art of Dying.

Praise for Anne Morgellyn:

'A masterful, intelligent, gripping example of the master novelist's craft' - Alistair Kinnon, best-selling author of 'The Knotted Cord'.

"A gripping story. I was hooked." - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.

Liana Goode (liana_goode) | 21 comments The new Brian Kavanagh book (A Belinda Lawrence Mystery): The Embroidered Corpse an intelligent murder mystery. Free on Amazon: http://amzn.to/ZR8RVo
I really enjoyed reading it, highly recommended! Here is the blurb:
In a quiet English village two bodies are discovered.

Both murdered.

But it is the manner of the death that most startles amateur detective Belinda Lawrence.

They were both slain in a way that perfectly replicates the death a medieval English king.

But why?

There appears to be no motive for so elaborate a crime.

But after she stumbles across a mysterious ancient tapestry, Belinda Lawrence and her associate Hazel Whitby are drawn into a terrifying conspiracy involving a bizarre religious cult, an enigmatic academic, a group of secretive monks -- and a mystery that dates back nearly a thousand years old.

And it soon becomes apparent that 'The Embroidered Corpse' will not be the last dead body - Belinda's own life is at stake.

‘The Embroidered Corpse’ is a brilliant re-invention of the classic English village murder mystery, following on from the best-selling 'Capable of Murder'.

Bookish (jtunnage) Currently reading the progress I made on my book this evening, and when I'm done with that I'll be curling up in bed with Colleen Hoover's "Hopeless" (for the third time)

:)


message 1472: by Liana (new)

Liana Goode (liana_goode) | 21 comments Another book I recently finished reading is Collateral Damage - Free on Amazon. Superb Cold War thriller. http://amzn.to/101lVoV
To interest you here is the blurb:
Hans Koller is a young German obsessed by his father’s Nazi past.

He is also a leading member of an extreme left-wing Palestinian terrorist group known as the Front.

His mission? To place a bomb in a crowded Chelsea street.

But when the operation goes disastrously wrong, Koller suspects the Front has been infiltrated.

But by whom?

And for what deadly purpose?

In a world where no one can be trusted, Koller's reputation as a ruthless killer has been compromised.

And he is determined to get it back.

Stephen Dove is a Midlands schoolteacher.

His beautiful but promiscuous wife, Emma, is an accidental victim of Koller’s Chelsea atrocity.

After losing the woman he loves, Dove is desperate for vengeance.

He begins as dogged, obsessive pursuit of the man he holds responsible for robbing him of his wife.

An innocent caught up in a dangerous world, Dove tracks Koller across the Middle East, becoming entangled in the brutal world of international terrorism.

Both men are seeking answers.

But will they get them when they finally catch up with each other in a deadly spine-chilling shoot out?

Or will they both end up as 'Collateral Damage'?

Anna and the French kiss is one of my favorites! The only down side is... it's difficult to find a replacement book that'll take you abroad with such fun, and interesting characters. Loved it ;) Happy reading.

message 1482: by Lianne (new)

Lianne (liannevanroekel) I finished A Study in Scarlet, the first novel about Sherlock Holmes. The book was first published in 1887, but it's not at all old-fashioned. The writing is very easy and the story is interesting. A recommendation for everyone who likes classics and mystery.

What did you think about the flashback part of the story? I found it a bit jarring at first but it became interesting quickly.

Bonia (boniamachbub) im currently reading son of neptune. its the second book of the lost hero by rick riordan. its amazing and i cant wait to finish it. i really recommend this book :D


message 1485: by Michael (new)

Michael (lovechild) | 280 comments Finished The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath over the weekend. This week making my way through Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell both are much better than I had hoped.
I am still thinking about "The Bell Jar" and it influences on modern writing that type of confessional writing and how it seem commonplace now.
Next read will be The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson for one of my other goodreads group.

message 1488: by Karen (new)

Karen L (1karen1) | 18 comments Currently re-reading Reason to Breathe to myself. Just cause I need a good soil break.

Currently re-reading The Green Mile to my Mathew because he's never read a King book(which is some thing that I can't even comprehend.)

Just finished This Girl because Will Cooper and Colleen Hoover want to test the size of my heart.

Always on the lookout for the next book.

I thought the start of the second part was really weird, because of the flashback. But once the connection between the stories was clear, I liked it. It gave me a much better understanding of the crime that was committed.

The other group that is discussing the book right now is called YA Buddy Readers' Corner. They are in the buddy reading series section. They are maybe doing the whole series but right now they are only doing book one.
