this upcoming month and want to get to them so badly. All of the family visits and holiday scampering has put a severe dent into my reading time. Hopefully I can remedy this in January and get back into my reading zone.

Yup Danielle, ditto for me :(
Danielle wrote: "Dang it had a bit of stuff written and safari crashed booo.Ok so is

And I haven't read Forbidden yet, plan on reading it soonish though, but it's not anything like CitD. Quite different stories but both tearjerkers. Maybe Forbidden is even more of a heart crusher though from what I've read about it.

isn't similar to
. Way different.Captive in the Dark is more like Fifty Shades in a.... higher level.

Maybe it's just I don't like suicide stories I guess.

WHAT????? Belkis? You hated it? Awwww, I'm so sad. I loved it so much. A definite favorite. Sorry you didn't like it, but we can't all like them all.

I need others like it. I'm definitely making my daughter read it when she hits middle school. It's on a must read list for my kids to learn and gain something from.

I haven't ready Forbidden but I know the premise of it; you don't need to worry about the same emotions being tapped with Captive, but it's a very heavy read on the psyche (or it was for most of us). CITD and SITD are my absolute favorite dark erotica stories, they are incredibly unsettling and absolutely will reach you on a new level. Probably not something to start when you're already a puddle of mush from Forbidden, but I highly recommend the Dark Duet series!

Erin wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Dang it had a bit of stuff written and safari crashed booo.Ok so is

which recently came out and I hear it's fantastic!

You mean with a certain overall message or just suicide stories Annie? Have you read these?

I mean with a powerful message, overall. Like TRW, I felt the story so profound. Such an important message on how we treat others and how everything we do or say to others, matters. I want something that will make me think and most of all, feel.

I read 13 Reasons Why Annie and it took my breath away at times. Not so much the writing itself but the story. This is happening more and more with teenagers and we have to find a way to get to them before it does. My family just went through something similar this year and it's devastating for everyone involved.

She is naked on the cover not because there is lots of sex, but because she is treated inhumanely and not allowed to wear clothes. There has actually been no sex so far. Although there is lots of touching it is usually against her will. Things are getting better for her, not because this is a romance, but because it is somewhat like
.
Belkis wrote: "Esther wrote: "Belkis wrote: "Danielle wrote: "To go on the Trylle series, I liked it, but I did find it annoying sometimes with it's plot. I guess it was a bit confus..."I've already gotten a ton of great reading suggestions from seeing what everyone else is reading. :)

You know Rebecca, as soon as I saw the bookcover for Comfort Food it reminded me that I still have not read this one either. Need to get to so many good ones. Thanks for the comparison, it was perfect.

But I'll certainly let you know of anything noteworthy I come across. Have you read

is spectacular. And these are also really good

I just felt like the reasons were ok, but we never really saw much emotion about it, we didn't see what happened after the aftermath which is what I wanted. The reactions. I think I mentioned that in my review lol.
Erin wrote: "Danielle wrote: "Dang it had a bit of stuff written and safari crashed booo.Ok so is

Speaking of which I won my first book from over there!! Now I need to get book 1 of the series since I won book 2! I won

The nurse found him and it was just devastating for everyone at school and in town. We don't realize the magnitude of suicide has on people until it's too late. :(

I have a few good ones like that. I think one is
and I have another one in my reads I'll have to find. Some are school shooting aftermath and then bullying.
