[Scott]

I finished The Waste Lands earlier today.

On the way home I'm going to start The Graveyard Book.

[Δx Δp ≥ ½ ħ]

[Dustin]

Scott - are you sure you don't want to start W&G!?!

[Becky]

Dustin, how are you liking A Thousand Splendid Suns? I thought it was amazing.

I just finished Mockingjay, which most definitely was NOT amazing. Booo! :(

[Dustin]

Hi, Becky. Thank you for your comment. I've heard a lot of good things about Mockingjay, so I am surprised you didn't enjoy it.

So far, A Thousand Splendid Suns has been an amazing read. For the most part, I really like Khaled's writing!

[Dustin]

Have you read The Kite Runner?

[Becky]

Dustin wrote: "Have you read The Kite Runner?"

Yes... I read The Kite Runner first and loved it, but I loved Suns even more.

Mockingjay... Well, I liked the dystopian aspects, but I didn't like how the characters were portrayed. So much seemed out of character from the first books. I'm sure that I'm in the minority in not liking it though.

[Chris , The Hardcase]

I liked Mockingjay, just not as well as the first two books.

[Rachel]

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a million times better than The Kite Runner and I thought very highly of the Kite Runner as well.

[Dustin]

From what I've read so far (p.268,) A Thousand Splendid Suns is more enjoyable that The Kite Runner.

I was bummed by the way Mockingjay went. After Catching Fire it felt like a let down, especially the ending. Can't win them all I suppose.

[Jc11king]

I've read the Kite Runner, and I loved it.

Still haven't read ATS Suns, even though I have it.

[Scott]

Dustin wrote: "Scott - are you sure you don't want to start W&G!?!"

I want to but I have a couple of library books that came available for my Nook so I need to read those first.

[Dustin]

Oh, okay, Scott.

[Morris]

Although I've been reading Stephen King for years, I had never gotten round to reading the Shining - until now. I am enjoying every minute of the book and I have really no idea why I didn't tackle it before.

[Becky]

The Shining is one of my FAVORITE books... I love it.

[Δx Δp ≥ ½ ħ]

Instead of reading this, I'll first read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

[Lynne - The Book Squirrel]

I am finishing off books I have bookmarks in!

She by H. Rider Haggard
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
Delver Magic Book I: Sanctum's Breach by Jeff Inlo
The Gates of Rome by Conn Iggulden

[★ Jess]

Maciek, that made me laugh SO hard!

Im reading Specials-the final book in the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. Next I am going to read something from The Bachman Books

[Dustin]

Hi, Booklover! You should read The Backman Books in its entirety, IMO!

[Elena]

I am in the middle of The Waste Lands . So far, the best in the series. It really takes me out of this world. I wish I didn't have anything to do but read....

[Scott]

I just finished The Graveyard Book. It was excellent.

Now I am reading The Innocent.

[Dustin]

Hi, Elena! I'm glad you're thoroughly enjoying The Waste Lands!!

[Kit★]

Finally starting my re-read of Duma Key, eagerly anticipating Christmas because I know I'm getting and . Man I can't wait lol, I feel like a kid. :)

[Dustin]

AWESOME!

[Dustin]

I finished A Thousand Splendid Suns! I'm not sure what I'll be reading next, it's a toss-up between Alice McDermott's Charming Billy and re-reading To Kill A Mockingbird.

[Dustin]

I decided to go with Charming Billy. So far, it's a little slow. But it has piqued my interest, and I think the pace will pick up fairly shortly!
Has anyone read it?

[Jessika]

Kit, I'm hoping to get Full Dark, No Stars for Christmas, too! I feel like a kid again...I'm so excited wishing for it!

[Chuck]

You'll love it - One of my favorite King works. It's darker than any thing he has written. "1922" is my favorite of the 4 novellas. Enjoy!

[Lynne - The Book Squirrel]

I am reading a non King book Delver Magic Book I: Sanctum's Breach by Jeff Inlo. I am really enjoying it and have the others in the series too all on my ereader and downloaded free from manybooks.net.

[Erica]

I am now reading "Full Dark, No Stars". I am trying to take my time with it, but it is very hard.

I am saving that for the new year when I have to work my night shift again on New Years Eve.

[Kit★]

Just finished Duma Key, now I'm going to finish checking my email, then it's on to Full Dark, No Stars. Yay :)

[Becky]

Did you love Duma?

[Kit★]

Yes, I did. Edgar was great, and Wireman, and Libbit and the paintings, oh I wanted to see them! Big Pink reminded me of an R.L. Stine story about a beach house that scared the crap out of me when I was in 5th grade... I wanted more details though, the end came too soon lol

[Becky]

Duma made it instantly into my favorites short list... I listened to the audio, and it was amazing. John Slattery did a wonderful job with it. I'm going to listen again at some point this year. It's so good.

[Scott]

I finished The Innocent and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass.

Now I started Wizard and Glass.

[Samantha]

I finished The Stand and I started Outlander and The Bone Woman: A Forensic Anthropologist's Search for Truth in the Mass Graves of Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo. Love both of them so far.

[Miriam]

I just finished the Dark Tower series for the first time. It took from July until December. I loved all the books. I wanted to dive right into my next Stephen King book but I also enjoy reading other authors, even though Stephen King is my favorite author. So, I'm taking a break and that just makes my next King read sweeter. I'm reading a book on teaching writing to children by the guru of children's writing, Lucy Calkins and I'm also reading a short story by Alice Munro and listening to an audio book by Meg Cabot in the car. Happy New Year and Happy Reading to one and all!

[Kit★]

Finished FDNS, oh wow, I loved it!
Now I'm onto , and I'm sure it'll go quick.

[Dustin]

I've also started to re-read To Kill A Mockingbird...I am trying to take it slow, so that I'll get as much out of it as possible (re-reads should be taken at a much slower pace, anyway, IMO.)

[Rachel]

That movie scared me so bad it change me.

Felina wrote: "I'm reading The Passage. Very good so far. I've heard a lot of people comparing it to The Stand. Which means I'll probably be reading The Stand next."

I loved The Passage but The Stand is a thousand times better in my opinion.

[Kit★]

Finished 20th Century Ghosts and it was 5 stars for sure! Loved it.
Then I read just finished it a few minutes ago, and I was hooked from the beginning. It was really good. Well, the stuff that happened to the characters wasn't all good, but the book was good :) I also liked this one tiny part where it mentioned Haven and Derry being up the road. I was like "woo! Derry!" lol
Not sure what I'm going to read next, debating between , and .
