Michael (book_nerd1991) Finished Long Gone, forgettable!

I am about to begin How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr


message 2502: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) Yesterday I finished Ten Big Ones (Stephanie Plum, #10) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich. It's the tenth novel in the Stephanie Plum series. This novel had a far more serious and darker tone than the other books. It was a gripping and exciting read with an excellent plot and great characters.

Right now, I'm a couple of chapters into The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier by Ian Serraillier. This is a re-read. I first read in when I was in school. I remember liking it but I don't remember much about the plot.

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I managed to finished reading The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier by Ian Serraillier this morning. Now I'm reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks by Nicholas Sparks.

Sue (suetinge) | 1580 comments I started Do Unto Others: Jesus Was A Liberal by a college classmate of mine earlier today. I still have Persuasion going on the Kindle and listening to Matched.


message 2506: by Robin (Saturndoo) (new)

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) I just finished 44 Charles Street by Danielle Steel and I am reading Wisdom (My Blood Approves, #4) by Amanda Hocking and going to start Triangles by Ellen Hopkins


message 2507: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. The book was a bit of a disappointment really. I've read most of Spark's books and I think I'm too used to his writing style. I found the plot of the story to be extremely predictable and slightly unrealistic. But if you've never read a Nicholas Spark novel before, you'd probably like it.


Now I'm about to start reading Ford County by John Grisham by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

message 2510: by Robin (Saturndoo) (new)

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) I finished 44 Charles Street by Danielle Steel which I was disappointed with. Lots of repetitiveness in this book and mistakes such as Benjamin Franklin was a president...Really???? since when?

I am still plugging along with Wisdom (My Blood Approves, #4) by Amanda Hocking and Triangles by Ellen Hopkins . Hopefully will be done with one of them today so I can start Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale


message 2511: by Chris (new)

Chris (chrismd) | 1237 comments I started The Tiger's Wife and immediately fell into the story. Also reading Across a Moonlit Sea for 15.3. For a bodice-ripper, it's not bad. Also listening to--and really enjoying--The Whiskey Rebels. Definitely my favorite Davis Liss book.

message 2530: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom by Christopher Ransom this morning. This book was one of the worst horror novels I've read in my entire life. It wasn't even the slightest bit scary. The author's writing style is terrible and I felt like most of the book was written by a horny 12-year-old. The whole plot was confusing and I disliked all the characters. I ended up not really caring what happened to any of them. This book is definitely one to avoid.

Now I'm about to begin The Green Mile by Stephen King by Stephen King.


message 2531: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8987 comments haha, horny 12 year old!! lol! I looked and one of my friends who does reviews gave it a 1 star...so even if you hadn't given it a bad review, I would have yanked it for that

I have that one sitting over here on one of my shelves...I have seen the movie lots of times but haven't read the book yet. I like the movie but I think I have avoided the book because it will be better than the movie and I don't want to be disappointed in the movie LOL


message 2533: by Riona (new)

Riona (rionafaith) I'm working on The Windup Girl and Delta of Venus. They're both in paper, though, so I may start Lolita or something else on kindle tomorrow.

I am about to begin Chosen by Chandra Hoffman


message 2544: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I just finished The Green Mile by Stephen King by Stephen King earlier today and I absolutely loved it. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and The Green Mile has got to be one of the best novels he has ever written. In fact, it's one of the best novels I have ever read in my entire life. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down! It is very beautifully written and extremely moving at times. The plot is original, gripping and heart-breaking. I'd give this book more than five stars if I could! My full review is here.

Now I'm about to start The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson by Shirley Jackson.
