[Kassandra]

Gavin, I loved the Great Gatsby and Kite Runner is on my TBR. I hope you enjoy it!

[Kassandra]

Iasa, that's such a great story of where you met your boyfriend!

[Kassandra]

I just finished The Bear. I was supposed to read a different title but the Book Bingo challenge got into my head when I realized I haven't read any books in the B or O category yet!

[Gavin]

I'm reading Hideaway

What an interesting trio of books, Mic..."

Not really. The same depth of character, but less forlorn love. In fact, Winchell Dear reminded me of the sheriff from Longmire. I actually think that Bridges of Madison County is a better book. But so far, I have loved every one of Waller's books that I have read. I look forward to reading the rest.

Finished Vampires: The Greatest Stories


I don't usually read short story collections because in any anthology there are inevitably one or two weaker works which subtract from the whole. And that was the case here. For the most part the stories supported each other, but there were two which were jarring, and one of those I found to be almost unreadable. I gave the book three stars.

[Amy]

I'm currently reading the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Has anyone else read it?

[Monika]

Amy: I haven't but in my English textbook from last year there was an extract and it looked nice! It's on my to-read shelf. Hope you enjoy it! :)

I just started a book, I'm not sure whether it has an English translation, I actually had to add a Czech (my native language) edition. Anyway, it is a travel book about a man who moved out from Germany and got a house on an island in Sweden. So far it's been really sweet and just exploring things in the new country. I'm fond of travelling, so it's really fun to read :).

I finished it yesterday. It's amazing and very emotional.

[Lauren]

I'm about two-thirds if the way through The Kite Runner, it definitely is emotional.

[Amy]

Thanks, Monika! Yeah, it's extremely emotional. I have to say though, I'm about a third of the way through, and never have I hated a lead character as much as I hate Amir! Totally well written, 3 dimensional character, but such an assbutt!

[Bookowl14]

I am currently reading:
Farther land
Of mice and men-(with my English class)
The moaning of life
Uglies (listening to it via YouTube)

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

I just finished Attachments by Rainbow Rowell. It was delightful. A sweet, quirky, feel-good romance. I highly recommend it, but you might want to save it for a day when you need cheering up. :)

[Overbooked ✎]

Attachments sounds so good Renee, I need something to fill up till the end of the month

[Lindsay]

I just got Landline by that author through GR giveaways. I have so much I want to read right now.

Currently Universe in a Single Atom by Dalai Lama.

Have 50 Shades, Monuments Men, Orange is the New Black, Landline...can't even focus to edit the book my friend wants to publish for next week, and that I really hope you all read and review since I'm the editor lol

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Have you seen the TV show of Orange is the New Black? I just finished the second series and OH MY GOD.

I saw the film of The Monument Men and I want to read the book too. Let me know what you think of it!

[Srividya]

I read Orange is the New Black sometime in March and totally loved the book. Hope you enjoy it too Lindsay :)

Currently reading The Shadow in the Wind and enjoying it thoroughly. The writing is simply superb and just can't put it down..

[Lindsay]

I want to watch both, but my rule is not till I've read it haha

[Lauren]

I was fascinated and started reading the book after watching the monuments men but I found it really dense and couldn't get through it! I'm not really one for non-fiction though. I loved the TV series Orange is the New Black but heard bad things about the book, let me know what you think.

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Have you watched the new series, Lauren?

[Lauren]

I have! I only discovered it a week before series 2 was released so I got to watch both back to back :)

LOL Castiel...

And I agree!

[Amy]

Do you watch supernatural, Faye? Just with the Castiel reference ha

Religiously. :)

[Kassandra]

I love Supernatural!

[Amber]

I just finished The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastyesterday at an online manga reader and it was a pretty good read. They are making an anime out of it.

[Gavin]

I'm reading 11/22/63

[Heather]

Just started A Wanted Man by Lee Child (my guilty pleasure) & have had a lovely afternoon watching Wimbledon on TV while reading away! Bliss

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Really struggling with reading right now... -.-

[Gavin]

Why's that, Holly?

[Holly, That Geeky One]

I'm just not into it. Plus I'm finding it very hard to pick up Moby Dick, but I know if I start anything else I won't finish it.

[Kassandra]

Holly, maybe you could try making a daily page effort to get through Moby Dick...something like 20, 50, 100 (whatever is realistic) pages each day? I've done that to get through some of my tougher (i.e.. those I'm not very interested in) reads and it has helped a lot. It gives me hope that I only have to struggle for so long (!) and I still make progress through the book so I can move on to something more interesting to me.

[Amy]

My sister has just introduced me to supernatural, I'm still on season 1 but oh my god! I love it!

[Amber]

I'm almost done with The Ask and the Answerand As Above, So Belowso will try to finish this both this week as the ask and the answer is due back Sunday. They are both pretty good reads though.

I loved this book!

I had to smile, Roseanne, when I saw the combo that you're reading. Two books that are seemingly on both ends of the spectrum. :)

[Kassandra]

Holly, are you still making your way through Moby Dick?

[Renee, Mistress of the Mini-Challenge]

That's such a great connection, Sandy. :) Thanks for sharing it. I'm really enjoying the verifying as well. You are right when you say Cather paints pictures with words.

I seem to do that a lot. that way when I need a different pace I switch

I never thought about it that way. That is a really good idea! There are definitely times when I get bogged down in certain books.

[Josh]

Spreading the love to Stephen King. I'm not reading the Stand with the group but I picked up his seminal quest series, the Dark Tower. Here's my tongue-in-cheek take the first book so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILOsl...

[Amber]

I'm reading a lot right now but hope to finish most of them soon.

[A]

I have started reading War and Peace and Cress

[Francine]

I just started Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

[Amber]

Enjoy Francine! That is a pretty good read. My mom and I loved Ready Player one as I read the book and she listened to the audiobook.

[Joi]

I am currently reading Where There's Smoke.

[Judy]

Infinite Jest

I've tried to read this off and on over the years, but can never seem to finish it. Hopefully this time I'll make it.

[Amber]
