The Shining: A Haunted Thread!!
I've completed it. Perfect five. Thanks for introducing me to such a great book. I LOVED it :)
BTW, why were you so worried about the ending?

But I'm glad though :)"
Really? But we have many common books. And I really liked The Strange Case.
How can one not like this amazing book? I LOVE it :)

Ending? The ending wasn't great or extraordinary, but then it wasn't disappointing too. The whole book goes very smoothly from beginning to the end. I love BB's narration.
Review? Maybe after exam. Possibly :)
And that's how Manasa and Arpit had a wonderful Copy-Cat.
We both got a 4-star and a 5-star book :)
Yes very much. Especially in rajma and tea.So your buddy read averages a superb 4.5! And that too in spite of you both having very different taste... Great going :)
LOL! I'm a donkey then :P
having read the comments about black beauty and craving to read a fiction, starting the book.. Reminds me of A Dog's Purpose, which was amazing too.. Let's see what Black Beauty has in store..
Aha welcome Nitesh :) And I see you have already started with Black Beauty! Awesome!
Wish I could have joined you. Next time.

I LOVE Ginger and ginger ;)
She suffered a lot. It wasn't her fault at all.

Ohh...I'm sure you'll love it. Keep us updated about your progress here :)
A Dog's Purpose- Huh...a high avg. rating and lots of +ve reviews, but then I'm not a dog-person. I'm more into cats than dog. (Ellen is responsible for it;)
Good luck with Black Beauty :)

Awesome guys!! My first YA series :DYou might sometimes feel that if you have read this series few years back you'd have enjoyed it more...but I loved it so much! Hope you feel the same way! One great thing (probably only) is her selflessness and hoe she over thinks almost everything :P
I know:P So surprising ;)I won't blame you for judging me!
I'm baffled too as to why I enjoyed that series so much! Probably has to do with the fact that I just started reading during that age.

Bella is upset because she's one year older than Edward and she's spreading misery to everyone she knows. What about you?? (sarcasm intended :P)"
Me!! Bella is upset about something and she's spreading misery to everyone she knows. :P
Actually, I'm 50% done, and now it's interesting.

Ha ha...we are on the same boat, Sundara. Because I'm enjoying this cheesy tale, and I shouldn't.

@ArpitWell, I'm glad :P
What do you think of Alice??
Evil Arpit did some mischief to his laptop.... And it's down for service. You should hear from him back in some time.
:DWhich books you're reading (or plan to) here on this thread apart from New Moon?
All we can wish now is a speedy recovery of Arpit's laptop. Amen!
Your prayers worked Gorab, though they took their time...
Will resume these book from today... I see you've already finished New Moon...
Finished it today. 2 stars.... didn't like it as much as I liked the first one....

Me too... I was missing GR.
Me too... I was missing GR.
Well resume haunting tonight...
Well, I will continue the series, but not in near future. Bella is becoming more annoying with each book.
Honestly, reading this book was more painful than Bella's pain.

About, haunting-completed chapter 2. Eleanor just reached the hill house, and she is alone and frightened. Her thought process is so much similar to Merycat's.
There was a scene where she stops at a restaurant and orders coffee and wonders if it's poisonous. That reminds me of Telephone music video. Ha ha.
