W (wency25) Check out sinfully cursed by Steven brown.. It's a good read- fiction/ urban fantasy

Arushi (arushi1) | 21 comments I completed Allegiant yesterday. Now I'm reading Gone With the Wind. I loved the movie but for some reason I always avoided the book. It's very engaging but it's a heavy read. I've read 490 pages but I won't be able to complete it before Wednesday, I suppose. After that, I'll read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. I think I'll complete that this week as well, even though I have a Chemistry test on Friday (who cares, though!)

message 15: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Garner | 2 comments First Night of Summer First Night of Summer by Landon Parham

Once I started reading this book I was completely captivated from beginning to end and I didn't want to put it down until I finished it.

Fascinating, clever and chilling.

First, I loved that the setting takes place in Ruidoso, New Mexico with such vast, beautiful landscape. Let me preface this review by saying, this novel maybe hard to read in some parts, but it doesn't make it any less brilliant. Filled with heartfelt moments, the first section is devastating as you the reader witness that the lives of these children are brutally cut short. It is amazing how Parham is able to create such intense suspense despite the reader being fully aware of what is going to happen and who the killer is. The story is a disturbing and insightful look into the nature and fragility of the human mind and the compulsion to be violent. The quick, cliffhanger chapters kept my heart racing from beginning to end.

Kathy | 21 comments I just finished "Leaving Time", by Jodi Picoult Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult . I loved this read! Ms. Picoult is an excellent writer, but this book shocked and surprised me, like very few have done in the past.

I will say that it is a mystery, but I must not elaborate further, so that I won't spoil it for those who have not read it yet.

I'm a voracious reader, so when I say this book was shocking, and satisfying, I mean it! I can usually guess ending, but not this time. I wasn't even close to figuring it out, and I'm very glad of it! I hate books that I can figure out, before they end.

I highly recommend this book!

message 27: by Diane (new)

Diane (lemonsky) I'm reading The Corpse Reader by Antonio Garrido. Despite the title, it's not a horror novel. It's about Ci Song, considered to be the founding father of CSI-style forensic science. It's set in early 14th century China.

message 31: by Kathy (last edited Mar 01, 2015 11:28AM) (new)

Kathy | 21 comments I just finished In the Kingdom of Men by Kim Barnes. I eat books, not literally, but figuratively ;), and this novel is one of the best books that I have read in decades! I was drawn in by the cover, but to my huge surprise, the content was outstanding! I will read almost anything, except gushy romance, or slasher books. This was neither. Please look at my short review of this on my page, and then take a look at it on Goodreads. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

I enjoyed Ms. Barnes book so much, I am now reading her book, A Country Called Home. If this one is anywhere near as good as the above novel, she will become my 'other' favorite author, next to Carson McCullers.

Marianne Aiza Estacion (itooktheredpill) | 41 comments I'm planning to read The Piper's Son by Melina Marchetta and maybe continue the Outlander Series. I also want to finish Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet AND Wuthering Heights. :)


message 33: by Diane (new)

Diane (lemonsky) I'm reading The Hot Rock right now as part of group read. Very funny and interesting. The movie with Robert Redford and George Segal is very good too.

Renee (pontiacgal501) | 11 comments I've recently finished The Last American Vampireby Seth Grahame-Smith. Didn't realize he had a sequel out until I saw it displayed at the library. This was a good book but not quite as good as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

I'm currently reading Divergentby Veronica Roth.

Renee (pontiacgal501) | 11 comments Currently reading Just After Sunset by Stephen King by Stephen King. So far this is a really great book. There is a couple of short stories in this book that are only ok but over all they are all really good. Reminds me of some of his older works.

Up next I will be reading Intensity by Dean Koontz by Dean Koontz and Deeply Odd (Odd Thomas, #6) by Dean Koontz .
