Finished re-reading:
And loved it even more the second time! Naturally I am now re-reading:
I also finally started:
I know I'm a month late for the group read, but better late than never I guess. :P

I am interested in your thoughts Brigid. If you like it I might give it another try on audio as that has helped me with other books in the past.
I'm slowly getting through
. It's not fiction so I'm not able to zip right through it. But the subject matter is really interesting. I had no idea how bad it was in Tehran!

I just finished reading...
It wasn't what I expected, not really my cup of tea and I don't know if I would want to read the next book.

Just finished 'The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea' by JL Murray. Awesome, but I expected no less from her after 'Jenny Undead'. Now I'm a quarter way through a book I can't remember how I found, called 'Nightmare City' by Jack Connor. 2 thumbs up so far.
Okay ladies, I just watched Outlander on Starz (I have on demand and realized I could "download" and watch early!) and ohmygawd!! I really liked it and whoever it is that plays Jamie(?), squeeeee, he is swoontastic!! Now I have to read the books!
speaking of watching things, I just finished s2 of Game of Thrones and immediately ordered s3 off ebay! SO PUMPEDDDD.
James that parody name cracked me up. Karen I don't have Starz so might have to wait on the show but am interested to hear how people like it.

S4 was equally brilliant. Enjoy! - Wendy
Bluemoon wrote: "Has anybody watched Divergent? Any feedback?"I haven't. I was kind of warned away from it by too many people. I haven't read the books yet because someone spoiled the ending and I just can't work up th will yet! Let me know what you think of the movie if you watch it.
Darren let me know your thoughts on Looking for Alaska. Bluemoon I was not a fan of Divergent so have not watched the movie.
The Hunger Games I know... I know I'm so late for the party the empty bottles have already been recycled, but thought it was about time I read The Hunger Games Trilogy. Drawn in immediately. Half way through the first book, and I can see why it was so popular - original premise, gritty storyline, realistic, likeable character and so well written. Kicking myself for not reading it sooner.
Smiling sheepishly. In my defence, it has taken me a while to get through George Martin's doorstops! - Wendy ;)
I read the book and watched the movie. I didn't really know what to expect, but the movie is just as awful as the book.
Anyways, I just finished reading...
I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down! I don't know what to say without giving anything away, but it did break my heart! I'm glad you guys recommended it for the around the world.
Now reading...
I really don't know what to think of this book. I've read it awhile back and now that I'm re-reading it I can safely say that my taste in books have increased in style significantly!

Finally getting around to reading A Wrinkle in Time. I think it's been sitting on my bookshelf for 5 or 6 years.
BECKY: I love that book! The I only read up to the second book cause I didn't find it as good as the first one.

Looks like a good cast so far for A Monster Calls - getting excited! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat...

Well you need to be Ashley! It is wonderful. I only read it because I love his Chaos Walking series but this book is a great stand alone.
I actually have yet to read any of Patrick Ness' stuff, although he is on my TBR list... along with Neil Gaiman and others :)
This one is free today. Looks like it gets decent reviews. Anyone read it?? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009...

The cover art is pretty and I love the idea of creepy faeries and the book sounds interesting, but I have to cringe at someone who uses the name "Creepy Hollow". I may look into it eventually though.
