I have four choices for you. It was a hard decision because you have such a wonderful selection on your TBR list. If you have problems getting any of these just let me know and I..."


Unfortunately I couldn't find any of the choices in my Library. So can you pick some other book for me.

You are very welcome! I'm so glad you had the same reaction to the book I did. I greatly agree that the subject matter was tough (my brother currently has cancer), but I thought is was done in a very compassionate insightful way. :)

Karen A. Wyle (kawyle) | 107 comments (re message 206) This post raises a question I ponder often: what do people mean by a particular star ranking? Your description of your reaction would have led me to expect you to give The Fault in Our Stars 5 stars. I sometimes see the reverse as well, a review that mentions more faults than the star rating would suggest.

I absolutely loved The Fault In Our Stars and rated it 4 stars, easily. I have had someone close to me die from cancer so it really touched..."

Antoinette (nette09) Cindy, thanks for picking my book. I loved Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore I took my time, with it. The only problem I had really was the end. I guess I wanted there to be a different conclusion to Katsa and Po. In a way, she stayed true to herself.

Lisa I read I Heart New York (I Heart, #1) by Lindsey Kelk . It was ok. A nice easy read with a predictable ending


message 209: by Emma (new)

Emma (theharlequinbat) I finished reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and absolutely loved it, so sharply and hilariously written - I give it 5 stars. I'm so glad I have the collected edition which means I can move straight on to reading the next book. :D

Cindy Rawlings | 217 comments I read Firelight (Darkest London, #1) by Kristen Callihan . It was ok. It dragged on a bit, but the story itself was intriguing.

Rebecka Finally finished The Face Of Deception (Eve Duncan, #1) by Iris Johansen it was great! Thank you Candice.

Elise (redentrapy) | 338 comments Yay finished Night Circus which btw was incredible.


message 215: by Brandy (new)

Brandy I finished Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King that Sheri picked for me the other day!

I really enjoyed it. It didn't catch my attention at the start but about half way through I as totally wrapped up. Not what I expected at all but very happy with it!
