I'm currently reading "Wuthering Heights" and I've recently finished reading "Safe Haven" and "If I stay". So far, WH has been great and kinda hard to understand when narrated with the yorkshire slang, whereas SH was ok and If i stay was really good. I felt that safe Haven could have deliver sooo much more (I saw the movie first, maybe it was for that reason) and If I stay was definitely heartbreaking though I hated Mia and her whole way of reflecting upon the whole situation.

Kristie | 5928 comments I've just finished The Girls with No Names. I thought it was excellent. You can read my review here.

I just started The Book of Lost Names. It grabbed me right from the beginning and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

PattyMacDotComma My new favourite book! Becoming Duchess Goldblatt: A Memoir is funny, poignant, witty, unique. The anonymous author shares her real, broken life and the wise tweets of her 81-year-old Twitter alter-ego.

"People often come to me seeking the true meaning of life, but I find they’re usually satisfied with half a sandwich." DG

幽灵 (_youlin) To Kill a Mockingbird
To tell the truth, I wasn't excited at first about reading this book but it just gets even better every page! The racial discriminations were described so intricately that they seemed to touch my soul deeply. The book weaves mysteries and childhood fantasies along with its central theme that I can't help but keep reading on!

Thanks! Yes, I'm enjoying Before We Were Yours I may try On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous again but not on audio. Audio was not working for me for this book. I also quickly read The Silent Patient which was a very fast read

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 397 comments I finished Magic Burns (Kate Daniels, #2) by Ilona Andrews Magic Burns #2 by Ilona Andrews. I had started the highly rated Kate Daniels series here, instead of with #1, so it can be read as a standalone.

message 696: by Nightbird (new)

Nightbird  World I am currently reading the Seprent & Dove and I am hating it...
I don't know but I haven't read a good, interesting fantasy book for some time now.
I also can't find any decent historical romance that isn't too clean or too vulgar, something in the middle doesn't exist. I love Regency and Victorian settings and they are full of stupid heroes with insta-love.
Aren't they any good books out there, I am wondering?
