Also loved "The Giver". Glad you are enjoying them.

I hope you enjoy The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club. I thought the book was well worth the time to read.


message 25064: by Brenda (new)

Brenda Klaassen (librarymom23) I am a little way into The Book of Tomorrow. I am not sure I will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed the other books this author has written.

I finished [book:The Giver|3...

Yes, I liked "Gathering Blue" and "Messenger" was ok. "The Giver" was the best imo.



Cate (The Professional Fangirl) (chaostheory08) | 89 comments I am still on "The Devil Colony" by James Rollins. Up next on the nook is Songbird by Angela Fristoe .

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments Started
The Cricket on the Hearth , but ...well nothing really to say as for now I don't have a clue why I am reading it.

Finished Notes from an Exhibitionand loved it. Bought it because of te cover and title and it was so good to judge a book by its cover!


message 25076: by Mafi (new)

Mafi I'm reading Falling for You by Jill Mansell by Jill Mansell


message 25077: by Linda (last edited Jun 25, 2011 05:15AM) (new)

Linda | 887 comments I am reading Island Girl by Lynda Simmons , The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon , and Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls . Island Girl is pretty good. Not far enough along in the other two to comment. Also MP3ing Save Me by Lisa Scottoline. Interesting subject (alot of bullying on many levels), but have to say I don't understand the actions of some of the characters in the storyline. Seems to be a really rough world out there for kids and parents today. So harsh that I find myself wanting to talk back to some of them.


message 25078: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Stilwell (jennstilwell) Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill was on a few of the spooky lists posted in the group so I decided to give it a go. So far i'm impressed!

Pride and Prejudice was the only one from my TBR List.

- Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (at long last I've cracked it open)

message 25094: by Ioana (new)

Ioana I picked at random a book from my Kindle, that I got for free some time ago: Genghis: Birth of an Empire. It's really good, and I enjoy it a lot. It seems this is a series, so I'll probably get the next one(s) too.
