These books are on my TBR list. I've heard they are great but a little slow to start. What did you think about the first 2?

yes the first one is a little slow and at times quite boring but as the story progressed i noticed that it's really good and it just keeps on getting better that as time passes by its getting harder for me to put it down. these books certainly had a strong grip on me :)



I thought the movie was better than the book.


@Melanie,
Heartbreak Creek by Kaki Warner was a fun read. It surprised me with romance and humor that was unexpected. It's also an easy read. By that,I mean it was a pleasure,not a workout!
Stephen King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a very good story. It's not a horror story.
Clive Barker's The Thief of Always was fun. It is not a horror story,either.
Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinsky was quite interesting. It said alot about girls in high school and the relationships they have with their parents.
Chris Bohjalian's books,particulary Midwives and The Law of Similars
are compelling reads.
I chose these off the top of my head,since I don't know how old you are or what your particular tastes are.

Have you read Ernest Gaines' book A Lesson Before Dying ?

It's a relatively recent book, but reminds me of To Kill a Mockingbird

(which is also a great read, if you haven't read it yet)


Hehehe! It does that!!
I think I devoured the 3 books in a matter of 2 weeks!!


Yeah, I just realized that movie is much better than the novel.

Thank you very much for that. I'll put them in my to-read list. Well, any book genre will do as long as it will not make me feel bored. Thanks again :)

I never had a chance to read them. I'm just familiar with their titles. Thank you for mentioning those books. I'll also put them in my list. I hope that I can read them all :)

If Christian were a real guy he'd have to go into hiding...too many women in love with him!


I love that book!! I was so amazed by how well Wally Lamb wrote as a woman, I found myself forgetting often that it was written by a man at all!




I always read the book before seeing the movie...this was the ONE exception. The movie happened to be on TV & I couldn't turn away. Still haven't read the book yet.

Books I currently have out from the library (or queued up for reading from my own shelves)-
AUDIO BOOKS:
Peony in Love - Lisa See
Grave Secrets - Kathy Reichs
My Man Jeeves - P G Wodehouse
TEXT FORMAT:
Small Island - Andrea Levy
On the Beach - Nevil Shute
The Forest Lover - Susan Vreeland
Never Change - Elizabeth Berg
That should keep me busy for a while ...


I just finished The Hobbit today. Basically I did nothing else in my free time but read this book. I really loved it, even if some aspects of the ending were a little disappointing to me (sometimes I get annoyed when my expectations are subverted). I'm looking forward to reading the LOTR series now, even if I'm planning on taking a short break and reading some other stuff in-between.

How is this Hunger Games


I have heard the exact same thing! Keep us posted! That's definitely on my TBR list! :)


I started it about a year ago and read about a third but put it down. I am hoping to pick it back up again this year though.

I've wanted to read the Dark Tower series for a long time.....other books just kept getting in the way :)


Great book

DITTO!! I added this to my TBR list! It sounds great!! :)

I had to study Memento for school and as soon as I heard about that novel I thought the same thing. I have a copy waiting for me to pick it up now.
