Clover Doves by Courtney FiligneziStruggling towards the light
Emma Fiorello is sixteen and deeply in love with Eric Florentino, a bright and caring, but wayward youth. They have a very special connection which Emma felt virtually as soon as they met. According to Emma they are “soul mates”. Eric knows what she means, but is perhaps a little less ‘spiritual’ in his outlook. Life is fresh and good, but Emma also senses that perhaps she and Eric will not stay together. Suddenly Emma is attacked and raped and her life begins the swift process of falling apart. Can Emma survive this turmoil and will she and Eric struggle through it, or will the premonition of relationship break-up come true?
Clover Doves could be classified as a paranormal romance: it is a love story with references to precognition, empathic telepathy and ghosts. The novel is, however, also part spiritual philosophy and part self-development/psychology. This is not to imply that Clover Doves is overly ‘preachy’ or contains lectures on these subjects: the philosophy and psychology arise naturally from the plot and characters, and are quite skilfully woven into the novel. It is clear, though, that Filigenzi has done much reading and thinking about the subject of human potential. Beyond these specialized subjects the novel is also very much about ‘ordinary’ life struggles: family, friends, love relationships, suffering, conflict and death. Clover Doves is skilfully written and will appeal to a quite wide variety of readers, especially those willing to keep an open mind.

Just finished Fahrenheit 451 and loved it. Going to start
This has been in my cupboard for a couple of years now. I am looking forward to it.
I can't claim to have read them all (or even half!) but Goodreads ‘Best Trilogies/Book Series EVER!’ list is definitely worth a look. View top 100 books. The best of J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, Suzanne Collins, Cassandra Clare, Tolkien and more…https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
Has anyone here read cloud atlas? What did you think? It's on my to-read list but I recently saw the movie it was SO confusing that now I don't know if I want to try the book!
I haven't read it but my sister has and loved it. Knowing my sister's likes, if you liked Stranger In A Strange Land and other books you read and think 'I do believe the author was on drugs when he wrote that'(example: Fear and Loathing); you will probably like it.

I have finished ReEmergent - A.M. Hargrove a couple of days ago and now I am reading Should've Known Better - Cassandra Carr.

Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity It is really a gripping story. It has helped me center and be thankful for winning at the cosmic lottery of have been born in a first world nation.I like to think I have worked hard and deserve what I have, but sometime I need to be reminded to do more to help.
I just picked up a copy of
for the weekend. I can't wait to read it. Cohen is a new author for me so I'm hoping the book is as good as the reviews.
I am current reading My name is memory,and just finished The notebook (p.s. I love the book more than the movie~).
I recently finished re-reading The Bellwether (Connie Willis). Very fun book, and very unique. Although Connie Willis is well-known as a sci-fi author, this book seems to elude classification. Here is my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...Enjoy!

I have Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill on my bookshelf to read. Sounds like he is following grandly in his Dad's footsteps?
I am currently reading My Cat Spit McGee and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane- both on my "Clean the Bookshelf" List.
Hi. Actually, I started and finished reading The Carnelian Legacy by Cheryl Koevoet 2 days ago. It was an enjoyable read. So I'm recommending that. Here's a link to my review for more of an explanation (which isn't much really :P but just putting it out there) http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I just finished The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. This is an intermediate book but I highly recommend it to anyone. It is such a wonderful story about love and loss. Just beautiful. It is so short it takes no time at all to read it.
