VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments I'm just reading about the Steubenville High School rape case, I think What We Saw is based or loosely based on it.

I've never heard about it before, it's horrific!!!! That scares the life out of me, I'm only one chapter in as I started it at lunch so I haven't got to the main part yet, but read some reviews which mentions this case, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Blahhhhhh.......where is the extinct word???
bugger thought I had the title lol.


message 3756: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Gah!!! Right????

At least the colors seem reasonable for having so many...

I'm starting a white title today that's short.


message 3757: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Oh wait.. Never mind. My title is white. The word white isn't in the title. Poo

CRAZY right????

Still not as gaggy as that camping worm book we read though.... Or maybe I'm just twisted for thinking that...


message 3766: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Ewww no that was nasty!!!

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1867 comments I'm reading Miracle (Pagano Family, #6) by Susan Fanetti Title is white


message 3769: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1867 comments I was looking at the Spreadsheet and I think one of my books is listed twice. Semper Fi...


message 3770: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments That might have been me actually Karen, I added some this afternoon that I thought we'd missed lol.

The title needs to have White in it, like "The White Queen" or something like that.


message 3771: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Ah Tamika not good?? I have that to read too


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments V Nerd wrote: "Ah Tamika not good?? I have that to read too"

Not to me. Super cliche. It read like an episode of Law and Order, not my ideal of what a really good mystery/thriller should be.


message 3773: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Ah no I don't like that sort of things either, you should try Val McDermid


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments V Nerd wrote: "Ah no I don't like that sort of things either, you should try Val McDermid"

Is that the title?


message 3775: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I can take a white book, I have

White Plague (Joe Rush, #1) by James Abel and White Fang by Jack London

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments lol no the author sorry, she does the Wire in the Blood series

Yeah well, we can't all like the same books after all!
Shame though that you didn't enjoy it, Tamika.

I'll update the spreadsheet tomorrow with my latest finished book as well as Abbie's (she finished 2 again in the meantime - or was it 3?!)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Afternoon, V ;-)

I was stuck on phone duty this morning so no GR after that quick post *sob*
But hey, at least I got some reading done and I will soon be done with Grind A Legal Affairs Story (Cal and Macy, #2) by Sawyer Bennett and then I'll move right into the third book of that trilogy.

I'm stocking up on the quickie books at the moment hehe.


message 3786: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Thrillers!!! Whoop-Whoop!

I'm finishing a book this morning - it's MPG Thriller..
Midair by Kodi Scheer

LaurLa | 2388 comments I am as about excited about Thrillers as I was about Horror.... whoop-whoop for everyone else ;-)


message 3788: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Haha LaurLa, it will all turn to crap soon I bet, we haven't had the dreaded NF or HF yet lol

Jessica | 296 comments I have Twisted and thriller is a MPG. It will be a quick one too :)


message 3792: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Whoop go Jessica!!!


message 3793: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Thanks! I feel like a total loser b/c I have been so enthralled with completing my re-read of HP and the books are so long! I need to get in some quickies to help the team out :)


message 3794: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Don't worry about it, my evening reading has been taken over by HP, we're having a Potterthon lol, up to movie #5 tonight Whoop whoop!!!

Okay, what is NF and HF?


message 3796: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Haha that's what I've been doing. Getting some quickies to up the book count a little before diving back into my longer books.

As a sidenote though, with the Never Never series for instance, it's total BS that the "books" are so short. It could all have nicely fitted into a single book, divided into parts. I don't get the point of books that don't even manage to get to 150 pages. (Other than being quick reads for challenges :-P)

HF is historical fiction.

NF, ehm.. I'm not sure now haha.

NF is nonfiction - our favourite genre!! ;-)

It's like fightclub..........you don't talk about it lol


message 3799: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1867 comments Thanks, E. Can handle HF but not NF so much...lol


message 3800: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Lol, just like Fight Club, yes! :-)

HF I can handle as well, NF, no.
While there are some very interesting NF books out there, I'm sure, it isn't something I read for pleasure generally.
