I love that one!


I hope you like this one better than I did. I've read all of the others and really liked the first series as well as Clockwork Angel. But I think she should have left that first series as it ended.
I just finished Divergent which I absolutely loved. It shall be one I read again, hopefully soon. I've now moved on to The Lost World


Brooks' book is great! Did you enjoy it?

I had heard so many great things about it that I was so excited to read. However, I ended up just thinking the book was okay. I wasn't crazy about the main character Hannah and felt it was a little disjointed. Really interesting idea though. : )

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that didn't really care for this one. I read it a while back expecting to really like it. I was disapppoited.

I am currently reading: The Orchard by Jeffrey Stepakoff.

Oh, that is a pity. I start to think it all depends on if you like Hannah or not, to end it with a good feeling or not. Because when I hear people say they didn't think it was a great book, Hannah is the reason. I adored the book and besides the story it is Hannah that I liked a lot. I liked her character, the kind of person she, the life she lives.
Hvae you read any of her other books? Read one or two others and really liked them too but this is for now my favourite.

The correlation between liking the main character and the book definitely makes sense. Hannah's the key which brings it all together. I love how everyone responds differently to characters! : ) I also read Year of Wonders by this author which was another 3* for me. I'd like to give her non-fiction Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women a try.

I'm just now starting The Iron King

I read Years of wonder too and liked it too but prefer the other one more. I am also curious to her non-fiction writing. I have high hopes of them after reading her fiction :-)

i started The Other Boleyn Girl but stopped around page 225. it was good, but too close to Harlequin romance style for my liking. i'll go back to it at some point, but not just now.
i also started One of Our Thursdays is Missing, the next book in the Thursday Next series. it's good, but i haven't had much time to devote to it.
i'm supposed to read The Geography of Bliss by Monday for my library book group, but i'm not so sure that's going to happen.
maybe i should go read instead of being on the computer....

Awesome books! I loved both of them. :)

Started Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone this morning. I can't believe that I haven't read this yet.





I'm currently reading Room by Emma Donoghue. Disturbing but good.

Glad to hear you liked them so much, Cate! :)

Next up is Mockingjay whicn I'm really looking forward to. One of my co-workers said she didn't like it as well as the first two. Any opinions on this book?
Also, has anyone read Wide Sargasso Sea? Now that I've read Jane Eyre, I'm thinking of reading this, which is supposedly a prequel to J.E. Thanks!

Mockingjay wasn't as good as the first two at the end. And there are definitely some things that are WTF moments, that I was super pissed about, but mostly it was the ending that made it fall short of the bar that the first two set. Still, amazing though. I've read it twice and made my best friend read it as well.


I think I'm now gonna re-read Inferno. I could use a bit of fun after that last read.

Now, I'm reading The Devil Colony by James Rollins book and Nowhere To Go by Iain Rowan on nook.
"Room" is a great book. And "Jane Eyre" -- my ultimate favorite.

The Devil Colony is out now? I pre-ordered it on my nook and can't download it yet.

I liked this one Angela. I'll be reading the sequel "Knit Two" next week. Hope you enjoy it.

It's actually a trilogy but I haven't heard much about the 3rd one. Thought I'd read this one and decide if I'll go on to the next one. : )
