Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finished Destined to Fly - Indigo Bloome.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've decided to read Shelter - Tara Shuler


message 2053: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Just finished Shelter - Tara Shuler. Wasn't a bad book, was interesting in parts for the style of book. Found quite a few spelling and grammar errors and sent an email to the author telling her. Now I am going to read Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson.

Yvonne | 6 comments Book: The Broken Gift

"This is certainly an eye-opener of a book. For anyone who might be concerned, how can attempting to answer some of the major questions of the Bible be considered anti-Christian? This will give the reader quite a mental workout, and it is very much recommended. "

Katie.g | 129 comments Currently reading And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Housseni and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Not got far into Water for Elephants but I like it so far and And The Mountains is amazing. He tells different parts of the story from different points of view so there is some dipping into the past and greater understanding of events as you go through the story. Highly recommend all his works. Especially A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Michael (lovechild) | 280 comments The Night Circus The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Should be done tonight and then On to Coming Clean A Memoir by Kimberly Rae Miller Coming Clean: A Memoir


message 2058: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinpickell) | 421 comments Just finished The Five Kisses, which was adorable & light. I'd recommend it for anyone who'd like a quick light romance that doesn't have sex. You'll read it in an hour or so, so it wouldn't take up any time.

Trapped is on the table tomorrow. I cannot wait! I should have read it months ago. *sigh*

Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 23 comments Change Your Perspective by J. Poet – Book Review
By Susan McMichael
4 out of 5 stars

Different perspectives, interesting times and reliance …
As a long time singer of Church music, both hymns and songs, and as a poet, I was looking forward to this book. Christian poetry’s framework and structures have changed over the past thirty years, in much the same way as secular poetry has: using much more free verse. Following in this heritage this is a book of free verse. I appreciated Change your Perspective's hopeful tone of getting the reader to enjoy their life, to see how God and Christ could make a difference to people's lives. In the poetry in Change Your Perspective: A Collection Of Inspirational Poetry, the reader is asked to take a journey from the physical reality of imperfection to the spiritual view of change for the better through Christ. Despite this emphasis on the spiritual this is not a book of ‘grandiose’ events, but rather of the very ordinary. Following along these lines Poet uses the common, vernacular speech to bring God into these poems: “When your chips are down... you say you want / To be married / You say this will / Make your life / Whole” (Ladies – Give God A Chance).

The book is a series of small recipes for getting your life back together, for changing your ideas. It is divided into three main sections: Broken, The Almighty God and Emerge. It delves into the everyday, including those feelings and actions that we like to deny.

I've been trying to get back into paranormal books.


message 2062: by Chrystal (new)

Chrystal (chrystal0830) So i finished the books that i responded with earlier and now I am on to Fifty Shades of Grey and Twilight of a Queen... Only reading fifty shades because i'm going to see a play that is a parody of it and i figured i would at least read it so i would understand the jokes :). Other wise Twilight of a Queen is in true Susan Carroll fashion and is very good so far.

Im currently reading Divergent Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth Ive read so many good reviews that I really couldn't resist anymore. So far so good. I like the story line and the idea of the factions. I havent been able to put it down!

message 2069: by Natalie (new)

Natalie (creativecountry0407gmailcom) | 108 comments Currently reading A Simple Winter by Rosalind Lauer; I need to get back to it soon. I would recommend The Other Boleyn Girl and The Red
Queen by Phillipa Gregory especially if you can get them on audio. Otherwise, they are over 600 pages each and would take forever to read.


message 2070: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (originally_elle) | 250 comments I finished Divergent Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth and I really enjoyed it! I cant wait to read Insurgent Insurgent (Divergent, #2) by Veronica Roth & I have very high hopes for the Divergent movie coming out!!!

And since my brain is burned out on YA & all things fantasy Im taking a break from it all so Im now currently reading Vision in White Vision in White (Bride Quartet, #1) by Nora Roberts

Shelby | 13 comments Chrystal I love Fifty Shades of Grey at first I didn't want to read it cause that's all I heard everyone talking about but I finally gave in and it turned out to be one of my favorite series!

Tia I have read quite a few Jennifer L. Armentrout/J. Lynn books I haven't read one I don't like so far.

I'm currently re-reading My Wolf's Bane by Veronica Blade. The second one is coming out in January so I'm refreshing my mind (:


message 2074: by Tia (new)

Tia Jenkins (tia_jenkins) oh yeah i finished Pure and Deity and I'm almost done with Apollyon. I've also read her Lux series and fell in love with it. Right now Jennifer is my favorite author. Although it could change :)

message 2078: by Sydney (new)

Sydney Mugerwa (corrosivemind) Just read Shatter Me, Destroy Me and Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi and I am still in a daze. These books sucked the spirit out of me that I feel weak and disorientated

message 2083: by [deleted user] (new)

I am currently reading Austenland by Shannon Hale and Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I recommend that everyone should read Circle of Secrets by Kimberly Little [you can just search it, I can not put up links with my kindle].


message 2084: by Robin (new)

Robin (robinpickell) | 421 comments Just finished up The Iron Duke (Iron Seas, #1) by Meljean Brook (loved), The Grimm Legacy (The Grimm Legacy, #1) by Polly Shulman (really liked) & The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle by Christopher Healy (a little disappointed because I LOVED the first one). Now I need to decide if I want to read The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus, #4) by Rick Riordan or one of the others I my list.


message 2085: by [deleted user] (new)

You should really read House of Hades, I have heard that it is fantastic from some of my friends. I read the other books in the series and they were all brilliant, I bet that that one would be fantastic as well.

Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 23 comments The Only Way Out by Don De Lene – Book Review

Problems, problems, problems… Solutions?
Hannah Lane, the seven year old girl we remember from The Power, The Miracle and The Dream, is now 22 years old and a “Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and renowned peace activist” (Ch. 1). She is with a National Geographic team that has just landed on Mars, and has become officially the first woman to set foot on the planet. Hannah has come a very long way since her loosing childhood days as an asthmatic, but how exactly did she get here? Was it really the secret of “the power within … [her] … mind” (Ch. 12) that brought her to these heights?

The Only Way Out: Forgiveness - The Path To Peace & Happiness takes us deeper into the spiritual philosophy set out in De Lene’s earlier book, concentrating on our desire to hurt others, and the solution of reconciliation through absolution. We can never really be at peace unless we are willing to forgive wrong. In this book De Lene digs deeper into a metaphysical view of the world, particularly the idea of God, however, the philosophy presented is not at all ‘orthodox’ religion. De Lene instead derives his inspiration from the non-fiction book A Course In Miracles (Helen Schucman, Foundation for Inner Peace:__ 3rd ed.:__ 2007). De Lene’s book is an unusual blend of novel and teaching manual, and is a very enjoyable and easy way of looking deeper into philosophy.

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've had a 5hr bath and finished Vigilante - Kerry Wilkinson. Had some spelling/grammar mistakes, but all in all a very good thriller. I kinda guessed near the end who was doing it and will be carrying on reading the rest of the series. Now I think I will go back to reading Halfhead - Stuart MacBride.


message 2088: by Emily (new)

Emily | 68 comments Just finished Life of Pi by Yann Martel and loved it. I definitely recommend it.

N | 276 comments Just finished Breath by Tim Winston, very dark and twisty. Recommend :)


message 2090: by Robin (new)

Robin  (robin-alisha) | 32 comments I'm still reading My Best Friend's Girl by Dorothy Koomson . I'm in school now. So, I don't have as much time to read as I used to. However, I hope I can finish it soon.


message 2091: by Fiona (Titch) (last edited Oct 10, 2013 04:34AM) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finally given up on Halfhead - Stuart MacBride

"I am sorry to say that I have given this as much energy and time as I can, but I still can't get into the storyline. I have no idea the characters are like the way they are. Not sure where the story is going with a prolific serial killer not doing much as it is and why the police officer is just sat in a pub moaning.

Oh well, I do love Stuart MacBride's books. But I really couldn't get my head and teeth into this Sci-fi style book".


message 2092: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I have just started reading Desire (The Dining Club #1) by Marina Anderson - Marina Anderson.

Based on the authors who wrote 50 Shades and Bared To You books. I am reviewing these for Netgalley.


Avid Reader and Geek Girl (avidreaderandgeekgirl) | 1572 comments I would recommend City of Bones it's a great book, slow points in the middle but the beginning and end are really good!


message 2094: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) I've finished book 1 Desire in The Dining Club series and now on to book 2 Bound by Marina Anderson.

Soph ♡ I'm half way through The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
