Just the synopsis of a book with the amazon link to it Brooke. It was posted on a few of our discussion threads. It's still posted on here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Panisoara (OPanisoara) | 2 comments I deleted my post because some of you seem upset of it. It is nothing strange as someone said, I can post it again if you want. It is a very educational book, combining popular science with stories for kids. Thanks

We aren't upset Ovi. It was just strange that it was in every thread and there was no intro like "read this great book" or "you guys need to read this" something like that. We love educational books, I just didn't know what you wanted us to do with it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sara | 1037 comments Reading The Giver (The Giver #1) by Lois Lowry real quick since my sister said I had to read it before seeing the movie tomorrow. Thankfully it is a quick read.

I saw the movie on Tuesday and it was really good. I read some reviews that said it betrayed the spirit of the book and it's fans. But I don't get that at all. The only changes was that they made the characters a little older and made the relationship between Jonas and Fiona a little stronger, but that just works better on screen IMO.

Kerr (paein) currently reading Midnight Thief (Midnight Thief, #1) by Livia Blackburne turned up in the post yesterday. Really good so far!


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments I have been reading Lover Unbound (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #5) by J.R. Ward I'm digging this one because I don't think I've had to read a Lesser POV yet.

Well, I read it a long time ago. 2006 I think so I don't remember everything but it's overall the same and hits all the major points.

The book didn't really excite me but it was enjoyable. I will watch the movie when it comes out on DVD though.

It's not really an exciting story. It's drama before action. I found it very emotional.

Still reading Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas and I'm adoring it! I can't wait to see what happens. I also started The Return (Titan, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout , which I like well enough so far. My Kindle is giving me trouble. I have a beta read that was due today and I haven't been able to finish it. I'm annoyed beyond belief!


message 8119: by Sara (new)

Sara | 1037 comments Finished The Giver (The Giver #1) by Lois Lowry yesterday and rated 3 stars. Not my favorite. Saw the movie today, which also wasn't my favorite and just alright. Since I read the book yesterday I of course knew every change or embellishment made. Since they have no real feelings I just don't understand their family units.

Do you have backup Brooke? Like your phone or something? I hate when my kindle's battery goes down. I have to use my phone...well until it goes down then my tablet and you get the drill.

I do, but I don't like to read on my phone. Too small. Plus I'm making notes. It's too hard that way. It's working on and off. So I'm reading when I can get it to work. The author is aware. It's not the battery. It's just acting funky. I think b/c it's OLD! LOL! First generation Kindle.

I didn't like Ender's Game at all. After all the hype from my friends, I really thought I would. It too me almost two months to finish it. If I were to read it now, I would probably mark it as a DNF :(

That's what I have also Brooke. I read from my phone a lot but then again I read a lot of EPUB books. The only thing I can't read from it my laptop.

My son has honors English ad he has to read The Book Thief and he HATES to read. He is complaining that it's 500 pages. He can read the Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitman which he says he is going to read instead. I think he will hate that one more.

I read from my phone at work, but that's the only time. It's just too small otherwise for me. I have a conversion program for EPUB books if I need to put them on my Kindle, but those I normally read through iBooks. I hate reading on my laptop

It opens other forms of books on my iPhone. Like if an author sends me PDF or epub, it will open those for me.


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Finished V's story, I really liked it, I liked the fact that I didn't have to read about the lessers, or Mr. X, that was nice. What I didn't like, was the Jane thing.....

Yeah same for me Danielle. I really loved V's book but thought he and Jane got the shorter ended of the stick. But still a good read overall.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments I finished the audios for Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter, #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon All He Ever Needed (Kowalski Family, #4) by Shannon Stacey The Vampire With the Dragon Tattoo (Love at Stake, #14) by Kerrelyn Sparks Beautiful Beginning (Beautiful Bastard, #3.5) by Christina Lauren and now listening to Beautiful Bombshell (Beautiful Bastard, #2.5) by Christina Lauren haven't had any time to sit down and read so I'm thankful for my audiobooks :)


message 8137: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Just realised after reading the 4th and final book in the Mercy (Mercy, #1) by Rebecca Lim series that I had accidently skipped the 2nd book Exile (Mercy, #2) by Rebecca Lim . I thought it was a trilogy haha. Oh well it still made sense.

Trying to decide between reading The Winner's Curse (The Winner's Trilogy, #1) by Marie Rutkoski or The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1) by Julie Kagawa next.

I don't have teens, but I do have a 10 1/2 year old who figures things out immediately. He wants to be a programmer. No shocker there. I have no idea how they figure it all out. I'm lucky I know how to load a book on my Kindle! or turn on the computer! LOL!
