Lol, I do it all the time. Anyone who knows me on here can tell you that from the size of my TBR. I'm meant to be reading Wuthering Heights, I've been putting it off for the past two months. The Mediator series are great books though. They're some of Meg Cabot's best.
will get round to giving them a go eventually lol
I have finally given up on
. I feel bad because I hate leaving books unfinished but at the same time, I read to enjoy myself and trying to read that book was not fun. To lessen my guilt I will take it to a charity shop in the hope that someone else picks it up and enjoys it!
I've started reading the Group read
which seems good so far, and also
because I just finished

It was a bit slow to start with but I really liked it. Have you read the rest of the series?

- Just started reading this :) Though i cnt remember what happend in the first book :P
Just finished Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a LifetimeToday starting Confessions of a Subprime Lender: An Insider's Tale of Greed, Fraud, and Ignorance
Just started reading "The Alchmest" I hope I will like it, everyone say that it is the perfect dreamer stroy kinda of thing. Though I have problem with novels that has small very small font that feels it's sticking together, I feel words are all together.
I need recommendations for short very good stories to enjoy. Any?! Please?!
Mod
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom is (what I consider) short and I enjoyed it a lot.
I know what you mean about the words smudging together. I also get that with small print that's not well-spaced.

I understand completely! Not only have I seen your TBR Char, it takes my browser a whole minute to load it. ;)

Lmao. It's not finished yet. It'll take it a year by the time I'm finished lol. =P
Thanks Rea for the recommendation. Will read it when I finish "The Alchemst". And yeah you got me, I mean when the words are smudging I hate it!
Char wrote: "Emma wrote: "Char wrote: "It'll take it a year by the time I'm finished lol. =P"
I don't think it will ever be finished. Think how many books you will have accumulated by the time you have uploaded the ones you already have. It'll be like painting the Forth Bridge, once you get to the end you'll have to start all over again, lol.

I was having that with Game of Thrones and as people kept talking to me I had to switch to a book with a different spaced font because I kept getting lost and rereading bits or skipping others! So I started Thirteen Reasons Why... then I sat down to lunch and my mum picked up my book, started reading and wouldn't give it back! So I ended up reading my dad's old children's encyclopedia to British history. I managed all the way up to King Charles II from William the Conqueror. I'll read the remaining part of it next time I'm in France! :p
I'm about to start the Goddess Test, which I have been looking forward to. I also just bought the 2nd book in the Forgotten Souls series by Tiffany King. The first one was really good, so I have high hopes for this next installment!
Mod
Kyle, I'm getting the feeling that you're a horror afictionado! :p What's Never Look Away about? It doesn't have a synopsis on here.
I've started reading
for the group read... but last night
was calling out to me and I had to answer the call. So I'm mixing the two.

That's exactly what I'm doing with
, reading it in tandem with others. I like it so far but other books just seem to be distracting me.

I need to buy that book don't I? I'll price it up on Amazon but may not be allowed until next month because we just had to renew Norton. =)
Hi I am reading Forever Sunshine by Collette Scott, its not a paranormal type book its more true to tragic life. Its really interesting. It makes you wonder what is actually going to happen next. its a very true life subject of Domestic Abuse.

I've got the distractions as well. I just can't settle at the moment but I know why it is. I'm surprised I'm even managing to get any reading done I'm so antsy right now!
I've never read any George Eliot, Ghadeer, but I've heard good things about Silas Marner.
That sounds an interesting book, Sandra. Well, "interesting" in the same way that a car crash is "interesting" - a horrible thing but you just can't tear your eyes away from it all.

Oooh Miss Peregrine's is at the top of my "to buy" list! How did you like it? Do you think it's worth getting it while it's still in expensive paperback format or waiting until a cheaper mass market paperback version is released?
Rea wrote: "I've heard not so great things about The Goddess Test... let me know what you think of it, Nichole! :)"Will do! Everything I have read about it is either good or bad. Not a lot of between reviews. Sounds like an interesting concept though- so I figured, why not?
Hi,I've just finished 'Taxi' by Shaun Othen. A fantastic read. I'm now running headlong into 'Blood meridian' by Cormac Macarthy.
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! I feel like I will never finish Montecristo!!! I think I will pick wolfsangel before august ends >.<

Are you enjoying it still or by the 'aaaah' can we assume it's become a grudge-match?
I read The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask when I was about eleven years old - I remember really enjoying them but I can't believe I had the patience.

New to the Group and love what everyone is recommending. I have just finished Through an Icon's Eyes by Grace Conti. Literary historical fiction, really compelling real characters with a huge magical realism slant. Couldn't put my kindle down! Love story with murder and heresy, loss and betrayal. Says on amazon that the author is giving royalties to Breast Cancer Research too! Added bonus. Best read of the summer so far.

Wow, 500 pages is longer than most of the novels I am tending to read at the moment.
Sometimes when I'm reading a classic that's really long I'll read one whole chapter every few days whilst I have another book on the go. Dickens is great for that because most of his novels were written in a serial format anyway.

I'm reading Black Magic Woman just started it a few days ago. Big fan of Christine Warren, but it has a slow start, but I'm hoping it gets better.

There's a new one due out next year: Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen. It's about the abhorsen who becomes Chlorr of the Mask (or however her name was spelt). I'm looking forward to that one!
