I was going to start on Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, but then I discovered there was a series in the same universe written earlier and decided to read those first. So, I'm starting Shadow and Bone right now!17 hours later: Okay, finished! Loved it! On to the next one. 8)
For the first time I'm reading The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, I've never seen the film either.
I just finished P.S. I Still Love You ! It was such a ride. I was all in my feels. Woah. I just started The Hidden Oracle.

I’m reading You by Caroline Kepnes and I love it! So creepy. I started watching the Netflix show but when I found out that there was a book I paused the show and went and got the book.
I just started reading The Boy in the Black Suit. I'm 22 pages in, and I already like the narrative. *thumbs up*
Currently Reading the Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. Love the book so far and i'm hoping to finish the whole series.

Has anyone read

Was it any good? What about ..."
Hey Marty!!
I have read Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, The Upside of Unrequited and Leah on the Offbeat and they are all worth giving a try. You should totally read them.

It was so so good!!!!
Just tried Divergent. I liked the first 70 to 80% of it but thought the story (and the writing) degraded toward the end. Not that it wasn't action filled, but that the action and the characters didn't make a lot of sense to me. It seemed to be trying to be a romance and yet a struggling, confused hero book.
Tris sometimes seemed to get what was happening but then she'd do a "Threes Company" blink, confusing the actions and demeanor of four and then react (or act) irrationally. Maybe it has something to do with being 16. Anyway, I though the dialog—which up till then was okay—became rather stilted and the story suddenly moved toward a crisis and then resolved itself strangely.
As an example of inconsistency: The wounded Tris apparently lost a lot of blood and then it was as though nothing happened and she was jumping on and off trains. Before this (the first 70% of the book) pretty much made sense. Maybe the author got tired and wanted to wrap things up quickly.
Just an opinion. I'm sure others had a different reaction. Up till the end I'd planned to read the series, but now I'm not so sure I want to.
I am starting a new contemporary called The Wonder of Lost Causes.It is about a woman and her son who has a lung disease. They find an old mangy dog and it helps them through everything.
I am just starting this, but I am looking forward to it.
Just finished
. 4/5It was quite the page turner and I was going to give it 5 stars, but I had a problem with one character, Amin's, development. He's a nice guy that does one inexcusable thing that just seemed very out of character to me, so I knocked it down to 4.
I just started
