I really enjoyed it, and the movie, too. Embarrassed to admit it, but it's true.

I LOVED the Passage! What an awesome book. It keeps getting better as you get further in.

I started Kindred but not really feeling it so I may not continue with it.

Embarassed? Why?

I started [book:Kindred..."
The Passage while so intricate whith all of ithe different characters is definitely worth the time and effort put into finishing. It is the first in a trilogy and this particular book stands up against Stephen King's "The Stand". I really recommend you push on through until you find your rhythm so to speak.
As for "Kindred", please dont give up! There are so many little references and nuances that looking back we can pick up on but at the time that Butler wrote it, many missed. She was very clever in that way, and the over all message of the book is powerful. I liked the book so much that I actually did my short senior thesis for my Bachelor's on it.

Well, James Frey is the author, and he is sort of a laughing-stock, especially now that he's got this YA factory going on. And the movie got savaged in the reviews.....Oh well. I still enjoyed them both.

I also just started the audio version of White Cat, Jesse Eisenberg from Zombieland and The Social Network is the narrator, and is good so far.


I may start Amaretto Flame, an indie book by Sammy Spencer. It sounds promising.

How did you like A Living Nightmare?

Gotta love audiobooks for that reason, at least I can listen while I'm cooking and cleaning! White Cat by Holly Black is moving right along. There are a couple of things I'm still confused about, but it might be that I wasn't paying close enough attention!

I'll second that! When it's a really well done audiobook I find I even end up cleaning or organizing things I hadn't meant to get to that day, just to keep listening.






How far in are you? I really loved all the action in The Hunger Games!



It is good. Lots of action.

the summary of Divergent! It's gonna be goood!"

Awesome! Angela, have you read The Hunger Games?
People compare them to each other. I want them to be "similar, bit different" lol.

Yes, I loved The Hunger Games. I would definitely say that Divergent is good for fans of The Hunger Games. :)

I enjoyed the Benny Imura books."
Me too! Such a nice take on a "zombie" book. Almost can't call it that.

Finished Dust & Decay and loved it. Finished Because I am Furniture and liked it. It's always hard to read books about abuse. :(
I've just started Entwined and so far, so good. Love the cover!
