I've often wondered what this book is about and if it's any good. What is it that you don't like about it?


Sounds interesting. Will have to read that.

1/Peony in Love which I adore and can see it being a 5 star book.
2/ Executioners on my kindle which is fairly interesting.
3/ Thirteen Reasons Why on my kindle also, starting this shortly.

Sounds in..."
It certainly is interesting so far.



I'm reading 'The Great Gatsby' and 'The Kite Runner' again for school and I'm just about to begin 'The Fallen' as my free time read - can't wait!

I'm starting The House at Riverton by Kate Morton today.



Yeah, it makes a world of difference if you have to read a book for school rather than reading it for pleasure. I had to read Great Expectations in high school and I hated it. I would probably enjoy it more if I read it now.

Oh...I hope this wins for May...I really want to read it...do you like it so far?

Good book that one!!! I'm guessing you've read the first - what did you think of it???

I really do Shelli!

Yea, I read the first too! It was really good! Just finished the second today, totally not the ending I was expecting! I'm excited for the third one to come out!

I'm still working on The House at Riverton. It's going slow in my opinion. I may have to put it aside and read something else right now. Either way, I'm going to be behind on my March reads.



it's an odd book - quite good though - the film sticks quite well too the book, but the books still better.

yeah i agree! i found myself picturing the characters in the book just how they were in the film :) yea the books always are arent they


I read the Lovely Bones well before it was made into a film. Really great book. Then the film came out and it was totally panned. Everyone got really pseudy and highbrow about it so I didn't bother seeing it. I then hired it from Love Film and watched it with my wife and teenage daughter and it was great! I thought (like you) that it stuck fairly close to the book and the heaven scenes were just like they'd been described in the novel. Can't believe everything you hear/read can you!

Right now I'm listening to Fallen and Great House on audio, and reading The Sherlockian (for my local book club) and The Paperbark Shoe (my Firstreads win). All of them are really good so far. Just wish I had more time to read for pleasure lately.

I too am apparantly 3 behind on my challenge reads!
