Sarah (sarah_endipity) This is like 2 or more people read this certain book together right? This is awesome!


message 3: by Vikki (new)

Vikki I'm actually listening to the audiobook Room by Emma Donoghue

It's pretty good so far. I just linked up my kindle to the public library so I'm taking full advantages of it.

If anyone is interested I just started Fifty Shades of Grey yesterday. It's a bit racy but I'm sure most people can be mature about its content.

I read Fifty Shades last year. I thought it was pretty good. :) If you want to discuss it with someone, let me know, I'd be happy to discuss it with you!

Yes. That's one of the reasons I want to read the book right now. I hate watching movies before books! I missed out on the Hobbit because I hadn't read it in time haha.


message 9: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah_endipity) it was good. nothing like the book.

the only reason i know that is because there were a lot of people who wanted my fav actor to play (i think his name is) Mr. Grey(?) if i was him i would be insulted.


message 10: by Reader the Fish (new)

Reader the Fish (readerthefish) Oh... I heard about the movie. I don't know how they are even going to even make one ( my opinion), though I think the book stands out on its own is the best. All I know about actors is that MANY people want Ian somerholder from "the vampire diaries". It was rumored that Angelina Jolie was thinking of directing it...

why be insulted? If the man does an excellent job, he'll be a sex god to women across america. i think the fifty shades movie would be interesting and probably will be rated NC-17. haha

^^^ Agreed!!
I'm not sure if I'll see it or not. If I like the book I will probably end up going but if I don't I may just give it a pass.


message 13: by Reader the Fish (new)

Reader the Fish (readerthefish) I have this feeling that the movie will be like watching "tiwilight" with different actors, and minus the blood.


message 14: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) well that's just it, Fifty Shades WAS a fan-fic of Twilight before the author changed all the names and wound up getting published. THe characters for a time were Bella and Edward. But it was a pretty good book I thought. I have yet to read the second and third ones though.


message 15: by Reader the Fish (new)

Reader the Fish (readerthefish) I hear that a lot. I haven't read "twilight" yet, so I don't really what's the big buzz about it.


message 16: by Kayla (last edited Feb 21, 2013 07:46PM) (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) I'd say if you want to read Twilight, read it, but I wasn't all that impressed with the series. It was okay but could've been a thousand times better in my opinion. Though, I do admit, The Host was an amazing book. Cannot wait to see the movie!
The Host (The Host, #1) by Stephenie Meyer

The Host was an amazing book. I read it a few years ago and I may do a re-read before the movie.
I had no idea Fifty Shades was original Twilight fan-fic. Interesting. I wonder if I'll see any relations


message 18: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah_endipity) Well, I know I won't see it. Mostly because I don't want to.

Does anyone know about the new Tron movie. I soooo can't wait for it. Just because of the actor. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!

Anybody want to read: Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell with me? I have to read it for school.


message 19: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) They're coming out with ANOTHER Tron movie? O.o I liked the one from a couple years ago.


message 20: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah_endipity) i haven't seen any of them. i just like who will play the bad guy. that is if accepts


message 21: by Reader the Fish (new)

Reader the Fish (readerthefish) There was the torn TV/ cartoon series...I don't know if its running anymore, but I think I've heard of a sequel of it of some sort.


message 22: by Kayla (new)

Kayla (kaylawrites89) Well they made a movie just three years ago. It would be nice to see a sequel to see what happens.. I guess..


message 23: by Reader the Fish (new)

Reader the Fish (readerthefish) Oops "TRON" not "TORN"
