I finished by Donald McCaig earlier today. Basically the storyline of the novel is Gone With the Wind from Rhett Butler's point of view and it was a bit of a disappointment really. Gone With the Wind is one of my favourite novels and I found all the characters in RBP, even the major ones of Rhett and Scarlett, are out of character. There is also a lot of errors that contradict the original, characters dying when they lived in GWTW and vice versa, Melanie knowing about Scarlet being in love with her husband, etc. As a standalone historical fiction novel, Rhett Butler's People is okay but as a complement to Gone With the Wind it sucks!

Now I'm about to start by Diane Chamberlain.

[Tay]

I just finished The Wheelmanby Duane Swierczynski. It's fast pace and easy read though no character development. It was okay. Watching The Hunger Game movie tonight and tomorrow I'll pick up Lee Child's new one A Wanted Man.

[Beth]

I'm reading Show Dog and also just started The Hobbit.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Diane Chamberlain just a few minutes ago. It's a brilliant read! It took me a couple of chapters to get into this novel but once I did I was hooked! Every time you think you've guessed the big secret, it moves to another level and you realise what you think you've guessed is only a tiny piece of the puzzle. I couldn't put it down!

Next I plan to read by John Steinbeck.

Yesterday I finished reading by John Steinbeck. It's an extremely short but nevertheless fantastic novel. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. The ending is so incredibly moving that I cried while reading it. I truly can't recommend this novel enough. John Steinbeck is an excellent author (and one of my favourite writers)!

Today I've started reading by Jay Asher.

[Kelani]

[Jillyn]

I'm rereading one of my favorites,

[Tay]

I finished A Wanted Man by Lee Child. It didn't have enough Jack Reacher beating up baddies but still a good read nonetheless. The motel clerk scene had me rolling.

I'm now reading Vince Flynn's American Assassin

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler earlier today. It's just an young adult romance but it's very entertaining and funny. I loved all the 1990's nostalgia!

Next I'm going to start reading a Stephanie Plum book: by Janet Evanovich.

[Jillyn]

I've just begun reading

[Jillyn]

Apparently, Send only took me like four hours to read, so now I'm starting

[Darlene]

I'm reading and very much enjoying The Time in Between. http://www.amazon.com/The-Time-In-Bet...

[Aoibhínn]

Yesterday I finished by Janet Evanovich. It's the tenth novel in the Stephanie Plum series. This novel had a far more serious and darker tone than the other books. It was a gripping and exciting read with an excellent plot and great characters.

Right now, I'm a couple of chapters into by Ian Serraillier. This is a re-read. I first read in when I was in school. I remember liking it but I don't remember much about the plot.

[Aoibhínn]

I managed to finished reading by Ian Serraillier this morning. Now I'm reading by Nicholas Sparks.

[Tay]

I finished American Assassin by Vince Flynn. Wonderful book. Now I'm on to his next book Kill Shot

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. The book was a bit of a disappointment really. I've read most of Spark's books and I think I'm too used to his writing style. I found the plot of the story to be extremely predictable and slightly unrealistic. But if you've never read a Nicholas Spark novel before, you'd probably like it.


Now I'm about to start reading by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

[Kelani]

Just finished The Mind Readers by Lori Brighton. Now reading The Pact by Jodi Picoult.

[Tay]

I finished Loaded Dice by James Swain. I'll give it three stars. I'm currently reading Indigo Slam by Robert Crais

[Darlene]

I'm reading Beautiful Ruins - very good so far.

[Kaitlin]

just started reading

[Kelani]

Just finished the most amazing book, Wonder by R.J. Palacio.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Christopher Ransom this morning. This book was one of the worst horror novels I've read in my entire life. It wasn't even the slightest bit scary. The author's writing style is terrible and I felt like most of the book was written by a horny 12-year-old. The whole plot was confusing and I disliked all the characters. I ended up not really caring what happened to any of them. This book is definitely one to avoid. My full review is here.

Now I'm about to begin by Stephen King.

[Kelani]

I am Almighty half way through The Book Thief.

[Kelani]

almost... not Almighty

[Tay]

I wrapped up Indigo Slam by Robert Crais. I'm now reading Suspect by Michael Robotham. Really slow book.

[Aoibhínn]

I just finished by Stephen King earlier today and I absolutely loved it. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King and The Green Mile has got to be one of the best novels he has ever written. In fact, it's one of the best novels I have ever read in my entire life. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down! It is very beautifully written and extremely moving at times. The plot is original, gripping and heart-breaking. I'd give this book more than five stars if I could! My full review is here.

Now I'm about to start by Shirley Jackson.

[Jillyn]

I'm reading

[Darlene]

Just finished Beautiful Ruins which I loved and started The Limpopo Academy of Private Detection Have read all of the Ladies Detective Agency books - love the way they portray the gentle side of Africa (Lived in Mali so have some personal experience.)

[Aoibhínn]

Earlier, I finished reading by Shirley Jackson. I was disappointed by this book to be honest. I felt the novel did not live up to the reputation it has gotten. I just felt like it was missing something. Plus I disliked all the characters and the strange dialogue between them really annoyed me. This is one novel where the movie, or in this case movies, are better than the book. My full review is here.

Next I'm going to read by Anne Rice.
