message 2520: by Rosilina (new)

Rosilina Rolyat | 3 comments I must honestly say I am currently not reading any special book however, make no alarm, I will take some occasional break from my studying and writing, and start reading a book. In the interim, please take a read if one of my poems. Feedback welcome and appreciated. Please see poem below:

Sweet Moments

Though I speak in foreign tongue
your unhesitating sense of understanding, evoke my every being,
Never have I felt such a deep belonging,
Oh! sweet nothing, yet sweet everything,
So captivating, so mesmerizing,
I 'm swimming in the gem that many sought but have yet to obtain
Oh! such unexplainable suspense of sweet liberation
Take me in, hold me still
Take me where it's hot, and water flowing like spring from a hard rock
Take me through moment of forgettable existence of the universe,
That graced only by a double presence with time standing still
If winter should come, keep my eyes open,
but if they should blink,
and I should be caught in moment of sleep
wake me up in this same moment of sweet delight,
Oh! How long shall this last?
I love the thought of forever,
But moments in a lifetime sound comforting,
Oh! endless moment of sweet desire
Keep me here, and let me be,
Keep me here, let it last,
Let this Euphoria last; moments in a lifetime or forever.

Sweet Moments

I realised I spelled your name wrong. Sorry.


message 2527: by Ivy (new)

Ivy (ivy48035) I am currently reading Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. Fascinating & beautifully written. It is based on four women with rough pasts who migrated from China and their American born daughters. The way it is written makes it easy to read and captivating at the same time, and the stories of the women are a mix of heart-breaking, brave, and joyful. A real tale of hardship and the happiness yet struggle afterwards.


Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'? (whatchatreadin) Currently reading Hunted by Dominique L. Watson

Sounds very good! I need to read Amy Tan. Have you read any of Lisa See's books? I gave Shanghai Girls, China Dolls, and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, all 5 stars.


message 2530: by majda (new)

majda (majdareads) | 15 comments They seem interesting, Kathryn. Are they all in the same series?


message 2531: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (an80slady6886) Shanghai Girls is the 1st in a 2-book series; the 2nd book is darker and more depressing, but Shanghai Girls was a great book. The other 2 books are stand-alone books.

Danielle (danideck3) | 2 comments The Girl on the Train.

Kern Carter (kerncarter) | 2 comments Sleep by Nino Ricci and just completed an amazing book called Ru by a Canadian author named Kim Thuy.


message 2535: by Stacy (new)

Stacy Lokenvitz | 1 comments The Collector By Nora Roberts


message 2536: by Patrick (new)

Patrick McCusker (patrickmccusker) | 11 comments I am reading - again - Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I know, I know, it was published years ago but for any new writer who wants to learn how to create characters this small book would be hard to beat. And for readers who want 'quiet time' curled up on a couch with a glass of wine and a copy of this book - well it's to be recommended.

Best regards

Patrick.

GINA H. | 1 comments Nice to meet you! I'm Gina.

I'm reading Beacon by P.S. Meraux, its the second book in the series. Beacon It's a YA paranormal romance novel mystery. There's something about the way this author writes that draws me in. I forget that I'm reading a work of fiction and feel like I'm merely observing these characters as they go about their lives. If that makes sense.
I'm new to the thread, so I've been looking at the postings and making a list of other books that I plan to add to the growing stack by my bed.
So allow me to offer my thanks.

Nice to meet you too.
I completely agree. There's something about the writing that has me hooked. I've just started Beacon myself, but I've already bought the next two in the series.

majda (majdareads) | 15 comments I actually read that book, Xunaira. It was slightly amusing but I didn't understand a lot of the humor in that book. It takes a lot of thinking to get the whole concept.

Sheilane Nadia | 1 comments You should try my book: "Don't Judge me: A woman's motive'.
It's a collection of short stories about women who do some very questionable things. You would loves it. Super relatable for women.

It's $1.99 on amazon and free on smashwords.com.

Martha Rosemberg | 9 comments I'm reading all the books of Leonardo Padura. I've loved "The man who loved dogs" and "Herejes". Now I'm finishing "La Neblina del Ayer". Besides the plot, reading these books you have a real picture of Cuba's situation.
