Zita, you are on such a roll this year! What has been your favorite book so far?

Of course, all Harry Potter books, but these are re-readings. So from the others - I really like Dead Beautiful by Y. Woon (I even bought another 2 books from this trilogy :)), it´s great. Then The Madman's Daughter has an interesting plot, inspired by the classic book by H.G. Wells; and Dead Cold is the best crime novel I've read so far in 2015. And Surprising Lord Jack is great funny historical romance.
I think these are so far the best ones ;)!

[Cassandra]

Awesome! I hope the rest of the year brings plenty more great books for you.

Wow! How fast you are reading. . incredible!

Astrid wrote: "Wow! How fast you are reading. . incredible!"

Thanks :)! I usually read more than one book at the same time and switching between them according to my mood. Before, I only read one at the time, and when I didn´t like it so much, it was problematic to read it quickly or at all - now when I´m switching between more books, I don´t have this problem. And January is a great month regarding reading so far, because I managed to put off all but the really necessary things like go to work. I think that February will be slower, but I'm generally pretty fast reader.

What did you think of The Wave? I've had it on my shelf for the longest time.

I really liked it. At first I was intrigued by The Wave because it is inspired by real events, and after reading, I think that the author conceived the events in the book perfectly. He did not expanded upon it for too many pages, but on the other hand the book did not feel rushed. Also, he regulates vocabulary and diction accordingly in terms of who exactly told the story at that moment...that´s perfect. With the theme that is not quite as "easy read", but definitely worth reading - and thanks to the length of the book, you can read it very quickly. And the last few chapters are stunning!

So I would definitely recommended it :)!

I hope I helped a bit with deciding on a possible reading this book ;-). And I wish you a happy Easter!

[Adriana]

Thank you! I will definitely have to take it off my shelf soon. I'm looking forward to last few chapters (:

Hope you have a Happy Easter as well!

Wow! You've already read two books in October! I'm so impressed. What book has impressed you the most this year?

Thanks :-D!
It is so hard to choose only one, because I already read many great ones from different genres. If I have to choose only one I will say Atlas Shrugged. And really great are also Dead Beautiful, Dead Cold, The Madman's Daughter, Surprising Lord Jack and Hide and Seek: Cabins and Hideouts.

[Jackie B. -]

Thanks for so many recommendations. Hide and Seek sounds fascinating! It's not the sort of book I typically would read, so obviously I've added it to my TBR list. :)
