Janine | 2 comments Hi Angela, If you enjoy books with good character development and want to get involved with the story. You may want to check out Spectrum: Book one of the F.O.K Series by Sheila M Sullivan. She shares the story of a group of characters thru laughter, love and life. I am looking forward for Book 2!!!

Agreed! Have you read Seven Stone to Stand or Fall yet? Reading other books or my other Goodreads group, but want to read it soon!

message 3209: by Rose (new)

Rose Darmanin | 3 comments I just finished reading Abused by Dolores Sakt. Sad, sad true story. This is not one in the Oprah book club I picked it on my own because the proceeds from the sale of the book go to the victim. It has everything in it, romance, suicide, addiction and erotic. I would recommend it if you're ready for the type of book with explicit sex scenes.


Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'? (whatchatreadin) Currently reading Watch Me Disappear by Janelle Brown to be released tomorrow.


message 3211: by Rose (new)

Rose Darmanin | 3 comments I am reading Abused by Dolores Sakt. Very sad true story. Not part of the Oprah's book club but touched my heart because the proceeds go to the victim in the book.


message 3212: by Emma (new)

Emma Adams | 1 comments I am currently reading The Life of Pi for enjoyment and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for my class in the fall. They are both really good! I decided to read Life of Pi because I watched the movie several years ago and really enjoyed it! Can't wait to finish 7 Habits; it's very insightful!

Dairian Brown | 1 comments Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. I'm new to YA Fantasy, but this is a good book so far.


message 3214: by Rose (new)

Rose Darmanin | 3 comments I am reading Abused by Dolores Sakt. It's not part of Oprah's book club list but its a true story, very sad story of how some women endure abuse by their spouse and how they try to cope. Also the proceeds from the sale go directly to the victim in the book. So I'm reading a very good story and doing a good deed at the same time.

Leslie (lesliejean43) | 403 comments I am currently reading Cometh the Hour, the 6th of 7 in the Clifton Chronicles series by Jeffrey Archer. Very entertaining!

I had just finished Back to Brooklyn by Lawrence Kelter, which is the sequel to the hilarious movie, My Cousin Vinny. The book is also very funny, as well as fast-paced - my heart was racing near the end, and it took me a while to catch my breath! I highly recommend it!

I.G. . | 19 comments Books that look at life from an historical point of view is my cup of tea. Love and war along with the courage to overcome all obstacles that stand in the way. These are the ingredients good writers use to create great works.

I'm looking for something new to read.

I love historical romance, fiction and non-fiction.

The Twelve Tribes of Hattie was really good! Another two that I read this year..."

I too love romance, but I dislike boring romance stories. I am on episode 3 of Sean Diddy Combs A Damsel In Distress which is in ebook form on Amazon Kindle. It's quite exciting, and anything but boring. You may find it to your liking.


message 3228: by Victor (new)

Victor Michini (goodreadscomthyevilside) | 10 comments I am reading, and please don't laugh; two different series by music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, 'A Damsel In Distress' I am on episode 3. I am also reading his 'Thy Evil Side' which happens to have I believe 13 episodes. I am on two. These series aren't for the faint of heart or those easily offended. They definitely take you to another world.

Line Kragh Turner | 6 comments I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and it's taking me forever to get through. To me it's a heavy read, but i'm enjoying the story line.

Sonora Taylor (sonorawrites) I'm reading The Girls by Emma Cline. It's good, and yet, I'm also not sure what to make of it in terms of how good. To be determined!

I really enjoyed Gone Girl. Did you watch the movie after you finished reading the book? The movie is good.

Ali Abbass | 3 comments Might I recommend , Of Roses and Lily, a wonderful anthology of poems on love and longing, the soul's desires and the subsequent clash with regressive norms of the society. It is a MUST READ!
It is available here through Barnes and Noble, as well as Apple iBookstore, and Lulu. HAPPY READING!


message 3244: by Erika (new)

Erika | 1 comments I just finished 'The Silver Star' by Jeannette Walls. I had wanted to take out 'The Glass Castle' from the library but it was out when I went there but they had this. I had never read anything by her so I took it out. It was a little slow getting into the story for me but I liked it. Before that, I read Wally Lamb's 'We Are Water'. My all-time favorite book is 'She's Come Undone' by him so I wasn't surprised that I liked this. His books are long but I enjoy that. Usually it means that you really get to know the characters and the story is very indepth. I didn't enjoy 'I Know This Much Is True' but this one was great. I'm going to start 'The Hangman's Daughter' series next.
