I thought I could use it for the challenge for the opposite view thing. I thought the fathers decision would have been the main theme of the story, but since it really wasn't carried out that way.....I don't think it will work.

[Jean Valjean (OG 2010)]

I've been trudging through the Sookie Stackhouse novels because my sister and mom are so engrossed in them. This way I can at least understand what they're talking about. BUT I'm also currently reading Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang for my own enjoyment. =]

[Ashley]

I finished reading "Crank" by Ellen Hopkins last night. I am going to start "Glass". I am going to contnue with "The Last Olympian" by Rick Riordan.

[Ashley]

Just finished my first First reads book I won, The Executor. Not at all what I expected... but I liked it, in a weird way.

Now starting Thirteen Reasons Why

[Jess]

I finished reading Diana Abu-Jaber's Crescent yesterday, which was fantastic. I also started and finished Susan Wiggs' Summer by the Sea today, which was a decent quick read.

Now I'm a few pages into Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, which came to me highly recommended by quite a few people, so I'm excited to read it.

[Kimberly]

I'm reading The Lightning Thiefon my nook, really enjoying it so far!

[Emily]

I just finished Beloved! I started it forever ago, but I didn't have much time to read so it's taken me a long time to finish. It was well worth the time spent.
Now onward to Her Fearful Symmetry, Lolita, and The Giver. (and Snow Crash if I can remember to pick back up on that)

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

Kimberly--I think I'm going to be starting The Lightning Thief soon! I'm glad you are enjoying it!

[Heather]

I've recently started Thirteen Reasons Why and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Both interesting books so far!

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

I loved both of those books Heather!

[Kelly]

Just started Treasure Island. Found out my ipod had a kindle app so I downloaded Treasure Island for free!!

[Tami]

Just started When Will There Be Good News by Kate Atkinson.

I am slacking on the challenge books, and have been trying to read through my bookshelf of all the ones that have been there for so long.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

Kelly--that's awesome!

[Destiny]

I just finished reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

[Kelsey]

Did you like it? That's one of my favorites!

[Destiny]

Yeah, sorry part of my comment disappeared when I went to post. =) It was so unique I couldn't put it down!

[Jess]

I was out of town yesterday and today (flying, with delays, then traveling alone through the city I'll be living in come fall), so I've gotten through a ton of reading! I finally finished The Autobiography of Malcolm X, started and finished Man's Search for Meaning (Victor Frankl), and bought, started, and almost finished Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island. Tomorrow I return to the real world...

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

Destiny--That is one of my FAVORITE books! We read it as a group read if you want to check out the discussion. I know there are a few of us who would love to discuss it again! :)

Wow Jess..looks like you had a nice little reading vacation!

[Caitlin]

Finished:
Thirteen Reasons Why

Started:
Neverwhere

I started Neverwhere this morning when I couldn't fall asleep... I'm now 50 pages in... I thought it was going to be somewhat boring, but it's not at all. So my plan of being bored to sleep backfired.

<3

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

I really liked Neverwhere! I hope you enjoy it!

[Kelly]

YAY just got my copy of The Vanishing of Katharina Linden from the giveaways, can't wait to start reading it!!!

[Annie]

About 200 pages into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and love it!
My roomie called dibs on it when I'm done.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

Annie--I really loved The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo! I honestly could not put it down. I was absorbed.

[Kellie]

I just finished Will Grayson, Will Grayson...loved it, even if it was a bit over the top. Right now I'm reading Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

The Mountains Beyond Mountains book looks interesting!

[Anna]

Mountains Beyond Mountains is one of my favorite books, hope you enjoy it.

[Daisy]

I finished Wit'ch Fire this morning, I liked it, but it's a bit bloody for my taste, and everytime I start to get to know a character a bit he or she gets killed the next chapter. I'll end up reading the entire series anyway, since I'm uncapable of not finishing one once I started it.
Am currently reading The Lost Symbol since I got it over half a year ago for my birthday and I'm curious after the not so positive things I've heard about it.

[Jess]

I'm reading The Book Thief right now, which is great so far!

[Anna]

Jess, I love The Book Thief, I kicked myself for not reading is sooner!

[Alicia]

I just read Stand last night. I won it through first reads. She has an extremely powerful story to tell and she does a very good job telling it. I read the whole thing in one sitting which is pretty rare for me as I am a bit of a slow reader. I would highly recommend it!

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

Jess--That's one of my favorite books!! I'm with Annashu..after I read it..I was so mad that I waited so long!

[Daisy]

Finished The Lost Symbol, it was much better than I expected!! Am now onto Pawn of Prophecy.

[Kimberly]

I've had The Lost Symbol sitting on my bookshelf since it came out. I might have to move that up on my to be read shelf.

[Kellie]

Just finished The Book of Lost Things after months of reading it. It had some good parts, but overall it was meh.

[Alicia]

I just began The Road. I'm a little worried, beacuse the writing style in this book is confusing for me, but I promised my mother I'd read it. We'll see... :)

[Jess]

I just finished The Book Thief last night; I definitely agree with you, Annashu and Jamie...it was amazing! I wish I had read it earlier. I think it was much better than most WWII-era novels I've read, and I've read quite a few.

I'm getting farther into re-reading Harry Potter 4 (will probably finish in the next couple of days) and I'll start Sag Harbor tonight.

[Kellie]

Yay for all The Book Thief love! I've been passing it on to everyone I can.

[Kimberly]

My copy of The Book Thief is so battered. I think I've lent it out more than five times.

That's what I thought when I started reading it... it either gets better, or you get used to it! After the first few chapters I couldn't put it down

[Kallie]

I agree that The Book Thief was amazing. And actually if you liked that I would recommend
The Glass Castle. I'm reading that now and I think it's fantastic.
I'm sad to say that it has been quite a while since I've finished a book... I'm currently in the middle of The Glass Castle, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, AND Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain.

Man I can't wait to graduate! Just 37 days!!

[Kelly A.]

I just finished Stones from the River, a book about a dwarf girl living in Germany during WWII. It was really really good, but it gave me some mild nightmares last night (haha I sound like I'm 5). I think I need something lighter, so I started Good in Bed. Yay for chicklit fluff!

I love reading a nice light book every once in a while :) I have to read a lot of YA for my internship, and it can be great for a break from regular reading.

I just finished The Looking Glass Wars and am now starting on Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
I'm excited. :)

I read Will Grayson, Will Grayson I'd love to hear what you think when you're done!

[Kallie]

Oh man I finally finished a book! I finished up The Glass Castle and I'm going to go back to Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and try to finish that one up too.

[Kelsey]

Kallie, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorite books of all time! I hope you like it! =)

[Kallie]

I've liked it so far I just didn't have time to finish it. I think I may start over so I get the whole experience :-)

[Daisy]

Just finished Pawn of Prophecy and am now onto the second book: Queen of Sorcery. Love the storytelling so far, but there's not enough magic or action yet for my taste.

[Annie]

I love this discussion thread! Whenever I'm looking for something to read I just see what everyone else is reading!

[Mary]

Good books everyone!
I just finished The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon. I kept seeing it everywhere, and decided the cosmos were telling me to read it! I enjoyed it very much, and now I am looking forward to reading An Abundance of Katherines for some lit. junk food.
Happy Reading y'all!
