I adored it at the time. I even adored The Amber Spyglass. Only reason I've forgotten it is because it's been so long and there have probably been a good 500+ books read between then and now! It has a very anti-Christian feel to it that some people really don't like, but I doubt that that'll be a problem for you!

Fair enough. Nah that won't be a problem for me. I'm not Christian.


Have also recently read Before by Cambria Hebert


I'm reading Poison Study at the moment. I'm feeling pretty neutral about it so far. It has all the right ingredients but it's just not engaging me as much as I'd like.

i just finished The Gargoyle and loved, loved, loved it. i'm gonna take a break from the group reads and catch up on some of my tbr list.....
i'm thinkin' i'm gonna start Eden next.....but i'm also tempted to start Pretties too.....
i'm still reading Let the Right One In from last month...my new puppy takes a lot of my time now.....that's what i get for getting a giant malamute puppy i suppose!
which reminds me: How to Raise the Perfect Dog is also something i'll be reading now too!




It took my entire family reading that before I decided to pick it up - I wasn't too sure about it until the end, it does pick up, or at least it did for me :)

looooved the series. iron knight came out oct 25th and i was so happy when it came in the mail. it was like a week or two late due to weather related issues, but i got it and read it. :D

The dance scene in Iron King reminds me of the dance scene in Pride and Prejudice...where they can't stand each other but feel forced to dance. (Although the dislike was for very different reasons! LOL)






The Red and the Black by Stendhal. I suspect I'll be reading it twice before January.
I also read



I haven't heard about it, but it sounds like some parody of "eat, pray, love" :O (which I haven't read either)

It looks like Room is going to be one of the group's December reads so you'll be all set for it! :)

Yeay for me then! (Ok, I think it's funny we're actually talking on three different discussion threads!)

Room is an amazing book. I loved it. I gave it 4 stars but it was close to a five for me. :)

Im reading that too! Only for the "favourites challenge". Good luck, I'm halfway through and I'm hating it. :(

Yey! I love Pride and Prejudice! :) If you enjoy it, you should check out the BBC Production of it. It's a 6 hour mini series.
It's really faithful to the book and Colin Firth is omg hawt! as Mr Darcy. =D (Jennifer Ehle is also very good as Elizabeth.)

I know all about the mini series, my mom is a P&P freak. She has read the book zillions of times! But I will read the book first and then I'm going to watch the mini series...

How old are you? I'm not asking in an offensive way, it's just that I tried to read it once when I was 15, then when I was 18 and then when I was 20. And then again, when I was 22. And I got really bored from the first chapter and never finished it. And thought I was never going to read it, I wasn't even interested in it.
Maybe it's the age, maybe it's the circumstanses, I'm 24 now and working and having a pretty steady life... While back then, I was a student and having a good time and books like that just didn't fit in...

I read it when I was 19 and finished it the same day I started! My brother was annoyed because he had to go the library again the following day (my daughter was newborn, so we stayed at home).
I had to read it again for my british lit class, and even my classmates who hate reading (almost all of them xD) loved it!

I really enjoyed this one! :D Let me know what you think of it."
i LOVED it, couldn't put it down! can't ..."
I can't afford to buy too many hardbacks. Frustrating as a lot of books are released in hardback a whole year before the paperback comes out these days, but oh well.
