I really want to read this soon.

miss peregrines is not scary, just a little weird. i wanted to make sure to keep an open mind and not read any reviews a month prior to picking up this book. so many readers went in with preconceived notions of this book and ended up giving poor reviews based off of it. i want to be fair. so far it is 3 stars.
a is for alibi is pretty good and the main character doesn't irritate me. i don't even think of her as a female character; only as a character, which is great.
In honor of the death of Michael Clarke Duncan, I rewatched the movie
The Green Mile
Sunday evening. Last night, I started rereading the book. I appreciate that there is so much similarity, so far.

I was so shocked when I heard that he passed away....I couldn't believe it!

The last 1/4 of Black Dahlia was excellent and I thought Equal Rites was much better thanThe Color of Magic. I will definitely read more of both series.
Now I'm reading Casino Royale.

So sad, isn't Dustin? I really liked him. :(

He is missed..

Yes, it was. I love that movie!
He is....:(

Dustin: I updated my review just now, since I finished the book while out of town for the weekend. It was very enjoyable and I highly recommend it to anyone who lives, loves, or works with introverts - which probably means everyone ever.
Here's my actual review -- http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

How is it for you so far Kathryn?


Now I'm about to start


How is it for you so far Kathryn?"
Hi Janie! I am liking it so far! I haven't had the opportunity to read much this weekend because a good friend of mine came to visit me for the weekend. I'm now relaxing and reading. Hoping to get further into it tonight. :)

It's great to hear that you're enjoying it so far, Kathryn! I haven't gotten very far, either. I think I'm at the start of Chapter 5.

Dustin: ..."
Hi, Gwen-
Thank you soo much, I'll definitely check it out!!:)



Oh, wow! You're very fast, Tim!! Way to go on the group read.

Hi, David!
What are your thoughts, so far, on The Road and Susannah?


Hi, David!
What are your thoughts, so far, on The Road and Susannah?"
Hi Dustin, how goes it? I've got a lot of free time on my hands right now so I'm reading quite a bit. I still have other group reads for September to read through too.
I know you didn't ask me, but I loved the Road. It got some unfair bad press for being boring from some people. For me it struck home because it felt completely plausible the way we're headed right now. But beyond that, it was incredibly bleak and hopeless, which was necessary to highlight the strength of a father's love for his son. An amazing read.

I am good, thank you so much for asking.:)
I appreciate your input on The Road. I loved it, as well. Personally, I don't see how it could bore anyone, but then again it isn't your typical Cormack McCarthy westerns, so maybe that has something to do with it. It really struck home for me, as well, because it is VERY plausible. In order to for it to maintain its plausibility, I think it had to be incredibly bleak and hopeless.

Yea I had a busy weekend myself. Buying more books heh. It was a little slow for me at first, but it is picking up a bit now.


Next I plan to read



Hi, Jason!
I'd be interested in your thoughts on the David Foster Wallace biography..:)


Hi, Jason!
I'd ..."
Hi Dustin,
How've you been? Overall I thought Every Love Story is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace was pretty good though in some parts it felt a little too clinical and I think there could have been a little more insight into DFW's work. That being said though it does cover his life thoroughly.

And thank you for your input, I really appreciate that.:)

I'm due for a Biography in my reading cycle so I'm starting Henry Clay - the essential American. I read something less heavy along with my non-fiction so I'm going to start reading The Dog Stars. I love dogs and post apocalyptic fiction, so I'm looking forward to it :)








That's one of my favorites! I hope you enjoy it!

Hi, Mirna! Welcome to the group.:)
I love Skeleton Crew, it's a great collection. I hope you enjoy it, as well!


Today I've started reading



That's the book that hooked me for the rest of the series.
