Claire (clairebear8) | 514 comments I am about finished with Rejoice by Karen Kingsbury and may start on The Girl Who Played With Fire next. I saw the Dragon Tatoo movie this past weekend and thought it was excellent. It makes me want to continue on to the next book.

I do the same thing! I just love Christmas stories.


message 26270: by Anne (new)

Anne Mikusinsi (abghostwriter) I do too. The well written ones are cheery without being too sappy, and while there's conflict there's always an HEA. Sometimes, you need that.

message 26289: by Danna (new)

Danna I have finished Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead this morning and went on to keep reading Graceling (The Seven Kingdoms, #1) by Kristin Cashore , which seems to be very good, maybe even one of my best reads! I guess it may even get a 5 stars rating from me. I like the feminst strong heroine concept thing.

I've read Hotel du Lac which I can highly recommend. I'll have to add The Rules of Engagement to my wish list.

Antoine Devine (antoinemauricedevine) | 39 comments Finally getting around to Moneyball. I had a chance to be an extra in the movie, which would have been a big thrill since I'm an A's fan, but they cancelled filming for scenes in Phoenix.

message 26293: by Cassie (new)

Cassie (CassieWinters) As I just finished Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire I decided to start reading a book that I have heard recommended by a lot of people called The Hunger Games. So far I am really enjoying it. Hard to put it down actually. I keep wanting to know what is going to happen next. After I am finished my partner is actually going to read it as well cause I am enjoying it that much.

Linda Parks (firesidelinda) | 5 comments Just finished Fracture by Megan Miranda ~ http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95... ~ Absolutely wonderful! I was totally taken by the story, it's depth and how well everything held together until the final page... immediately and truly impressed with Megan's writing style. Her storytelling and characters definitely put me in mind of Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall (HUGE compliment!) so I look forward to following this new author in the years ahead!

I enjoyed Push but the movie did pack more of an emotional punch. Have you read The Kid, her latest book? I can't get it to link up here but if you have, I'd love to hear what you think. It's one I'd like to read but haven't gotten to yet.
