So unfair I haven't got that book yet and I can't wait to see what happens next.


11/22/63 is a really addicting book once you start reading it you will not be able to stop


Get it! It's really good, and Mark of Athena is also out now!


I finally read it and now am waiting to get Mark of Athena from the library
I have started watching Elementary and realized even though I own the complete Sherlock Holmes works, I have never read one of them. So I started The Complete Sherlock Holmes. I say I am about 1/5 of the way through. Not really sure what I was expecting, but so far, it is good.
Has anyone read A Study in Scarlet? It almost seemed to be set in current times. Dr Watson just back from Afganistan from the second gulf war. (view spoiler) Not really sure that would be considered a spoiler, but I guess it could be.

- 'The Resolution for women' (based off the Courageous movie)
Currently reading
- 'Do hard things' by Alex and Brett Harris
- 'Brandwashed' by Martin Lindtrom
- 'The boy who harnessed the wind' by William Kamkwamba.
The last one has definitely taken me by surprise at how good the author is at story telling. Im only in the 3rd chapter and Im already hooked.

I've read pretty much every Sherlock Holmes story. Love them! Conan Doyle's hatred for Mormons is pretty obvious in that story, Country of the Saints? (Totally changed his mind later on, he actually spoke in the Salt Lake Tabernacle) Anyway, you should watch BBC's Sherlock. They wrote the series around the original stories and it's amazing how well it translates to modern times, like with Watson having just returned from Afghanistan.

Still reading Sherlock. Has anyone else found very little time for reading this last 2 months? It is killing me. I try to read before bed, but am so beat that I usually fall asleep after just a few pages. Ugh! Probably should have posted this in the rants thread. :)

I finally finished The Complete Sherlock Holmes. I started clear back in October. Just haven't had time for reading really.
Started Between Shades of Gray last night. My secret santa gift and already over half way through. Really enjoying it so far.

Sounds like a very sad book. I might have to read it after all of the good reviews, though.
I was fascinated with anything Holocaust related when I was in 6th and 7th grades and read books I probably was too young for. So far, this one is sad, but not so graphic as some others I have read.

Sounds like me. I may have to check this one out


Finished Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys (my secret santa gift) and I loved it. Great book. Can't wait for her next one.
Also, no idea what to start next.

Decided on the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles. Started Interview with the Vampire Friday and almost done. Next will be The Vampire Lestat.
So I watched the movie Interview With a Vampire, and remember parts of the book being in it, but not others. So, am I forgetting the movie (it really has been years) or did it just not follow the book?

Just started The Lightning Thiefand Marked. Both are pretty good so far.

I'm participating in the bout of books readathon. Anyone else?



Just finished Froi of the Exiles
Currently reading Frankenstein

What did you think of Froi?

Should I read Les Mes or is the movie good enough?

I'm not saying don't read the book, just don't look at the movie as being an adaptation of the book, it's an adaptation of the musical, which is an adaptation of the book.



I had to read that in school. What did you think of it?

It was a group read back in 2008 so there are threads in the past group reads to go through. I didn't care for the book, but some people really enjoyed it.

It was a g..."
Great, thanks!

I read this book before it was a group read, I know that I didn't care for the book. I only gave it a two star rating, I think I was being generous with my rating.
