I finished reading The Fifth Victim
by Beverly Barton.My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
my review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Also a short story by Franz Kafka mentioned in the above https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, written by Carson McCullers when she was only 23, has become a classic of the American South - 1930s Georgia. Great characters!

I'm sure a lot of readers are familiar with Montessori schools, but I bet they don't know Maria Montessori was the first woman in Italy to go to medical school. Maria Montessori by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara is designed for little kids, but I learned a lot, too.

Good morning. I've just joined Goodreads and this Group. I am very happy to be here and share thoughts and view on our beloved books.I am not sure how to add friends or be added as one. No FB here I'm afraid.
Cuyrrently reading Swan's Way (yes, took the leap) and Breakfast of Champions (I never expected K. Wonnegut would dissapoint, but it seems there's always a first).
Welcome. Be sure to add to your profile. I like to do the challenges on Goodreads. Join some groups that you have an interest. Also I win some great books from here with the giveaways so I find new authors. I am in Minnesota.
I did a family cruise two years ago and Athens was a stop as well as Corfu and Santorini. So much history.
Welcome to the group, Constantinos! Be sure to check out our Goodreads Friends thread if you're looking to make some new friends. There are a lot of people that would like to connect.

It's a good book I enjoyed it a lot, though probably because I did the mash-up of Eos and ToD. It was a great experiencie!
I'm currently trying to re-read The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare because I want to read Chain of Gold next, but I honestly can't get into it like when I first read them. And I'm also trying to read The Bane Chronicles by the same author but no luck either.
I feel the dreaded reading-slump looming over me...

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski"How was it? Is it as good or better than the TV show? I want to read those books too but I'm still unsure.

TID is a great trilogy but I guess I'm just not in the right mood. I think I'm going to try with another book before the reading-slump hits me and I spend the next month feeling frustrated because I can't read anything xD
Any recommendations? We seem to have similar tastes in books.
You are very welcome!! Hmm I've recently really loved YA books although my first real read was probably Divergent by V (but it's a kind of 'love or hate' trilogy -i quite liked it). But feel free to check my 'want to read' shelf since my sister has like bombarded me with LOADS of book recommendations !!! XDAny books you particularly enjoyed? I
Xx
@Haleema: Oh, there are so many I could recommend. Ley me add you as a friend and I'll check what books you've enjoyed the mostró and recommend based on that. Sounds good?
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger appealed to me on every level. I've got a soft spot for a child's point of view, and when there's humour and terror and adventure and tragedy and romance all mixed with a hint of magic, what more could I want?

I heard the book The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I got excited to read that book. How do you highlight the title of the book by the way? Thanks

You need to be online, not on the app. There is a link just above the text box that you comment in that says "add book/author". Click on that and do a search for your book. When you find it, click the "add" button to the right of it.
The book link is automatically selected. If you prefer the book cover, there is a toggle just below the search results that says "add: 🔘link ⚪️ cover" just select cover instead.
I just finished a romantic suspense novel by a 'new to me' author: Run and Hide

Well, based on what I have read so far, the reader is part of the plot. We are in the story.

You Are Lovely! by words&pictures is a clever little board book for tiny tots.

John Boyne probably broke all kinds of rules writing his new novel, A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom, so of course, I loved it!
5★ My review of 'Traveller'
