Young adult fantasy stuff with magic etc!
Carrie...Jade - have you read her IAD series? Its one of my favorite. I haven't tried any of her other series. I should just haven't got around to itNo I haven't will have to look out for them. How was a Great and Terrible Beauty? been meaning to get around to reading this myself....my Kindle is jam packed with TBR's :D
I haven't read Great and Terrible Beauty its on my tbr list...I think Esta is the one who posted that she was going to start reading it.
Carrie wrote: "I haven't read Great and Terrible Beauty its on my tbr list...I think Esta is the one who posted that she was going to start reading it."Yes I read it last week, I have to say I didn't rate it that much; the narrative was very jerky and I didn't warm to the characters at all. My daughter loved it though!
I have just finished reading These Is My Words. Any book that can make me cry and laugh is a winner IMO, and this was an emotional rollercoaster! Absolutely loved loved loved it!
ღEstaღ wrote: "I have just finished reading These Is My Words. Any book that can make me cry and laugh is a winner IMO, and this was an emotional rollercoaster! Absolutely loved loved loved it!"I will be moving this book up my tbr list.
I read as widely as possible; 'ancient' and modern! Recently completed Alpha to Omega by William Lynhope. Turned out to be a great read, as well as thought provoking. This one came to me by recommendation and I think it is available on all e-book platforms (Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iPad etc).I can thoroughly recommend it, but a quick 'Google' of the title/author should allow you to read some chapters for yourself, before deciding. That's what I did.

I loved Coraline when I was little. I read it three times in one year. I just barely finished The Lovely Bones this morning and am going onto Footprints of the Dead by Jay Callahan.

I think you either love or hate The Lovely Bones, I loved it but I know many people who hated it.
I just finished Evil on the Byou and started reading This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel about one O'clock this morning
since there was a hype goin on about Collins, Suzanne i decided to give the The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxseta try and can't say i regret it, started reading three days ago and i'm currently reading
. I'm quite certain that i lose some sleep :-)
I went to see the film the other week and though it isn't as good as the book (they never are!) it was still fab. Haven't read Mockingjay yet...am desperate to find a copy...
Currently reading The Jakarta Pandemic. Sop far so good

Was the book, Coraline, anything like the movie?
I'm reading The Hakawati
and The Hunger Games
And I like them both very much!! It's good that I mixed them because if not, I would have finished The Hunger Games in 3 days!

I finally finished it last night after more than a week of reading it. It was pretty good with Lyra going through a lot of adventures and stuff but at the same time it felt like a bedtime story. I mean there wasn't that much suspense and excitement as I was hoping and at times I just got bored of reading it that I put it down for a day and read something else. I think I would've liked it more if I read it when I was a kid. I started reading the Subtle Knife, which is the sequel, and I'm already getting kind of getting bored of it so I'm thinking of just postpone reading it.
That's a shame, I watched the movie so kind of knew what it would be about. It did seem quite long for what happened in the film. I find the daemons interesting. I am a bit put off now if it is boring though...don't really like boring books.

I found that really touching of how daemons are another part of a human's soul and that humans really love their daemons but yeah like I said there was a lot of slow parts in the book. That's just my opinion though. You might like it since you liked the movie.
Yeah, I will give it a try some time. I want a daemon! :)
I am absolutely bored with The Subtle Knife. I don't know if I'll ever want to finish it but right I'm putting it away and I'll just finish the other books I'm reading.
Nicolle wrote: "Yeah, I will give it a try some time. I want a daemon! :)"Lol. I wouldn't mind having a daemon either and I think some would like one too.
What did you think of Room? I read it a couple months ago. LOVED the way it was told through Jack's eyes and the way she split the story into 'before' and 'after' Very intense.Teri-lynn wrote: "Still working on Watership Down and The Hobbit..."

Oops. Just realized you said you were just starting it. You'll have to let me know what you think later. I just finished Still Alice by Lisa Genova today. Now I'm starting The Book Thief which people either seem to love or hate.
Natalie wrote: "I am absolutely bored with The Subtle Knife. I don't know if I'll ever want to finish it but right I'm putting it away and I'll just finish the other books I'm reading."I put that down after a few pages.

I can't begin to imagine how cool that would be!
I just finished reading the Fifty Shades trilogy! I loved them. I'm looking for something new to read!! Any suggestions?
I was reading Tess of the D'Ubervilles, but even though it has an interesting story plot, I just can't get into it. I need something a little more fast paced, its an ADHD thing. So I picked up Rot and Ruin and pray that its any good.

I really loved Tess of the D'Ubervilles! Some parts are slow but the plot and language is spectacular in my opinion.
