oh by the way, Beth if you like dragons you may like it's very good. It's definitely written for a younger audience (11-14ish maybe) but it's a very good dragon book. The author is working on book two (that was supposed to be out last year lol).

and if you like Fantasy and mythical/mystical creatures you may like the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull - also very good!!

[Beth]

Ooo, thank you Nicole. I still love kids books and YA books, so those look like they are right up my alley! Thanks for showing them to me :)

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

I love YA and children's literature too :-D
I'm actually on the final book of the Fablehaven series now for the 2nd time, only this time I'm reading it aloud to the family and they're loving it too! I am finding that I like it even more this 2nd time around, I think because I'm reading it out loud - it's definitely a good "read aloud" book :-)

[Beth]

I've heard so much about that series! It seems really cute & fun. I hope that I will read aloud to my (future) kids. :)

I've finished reading by Jamie Ford last night. I really loved this book! Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is a beautiful, fascinating, tender and moving story from beginning to end. Like the title suggests, the story is such a bitter-sweet tale, heartbreaking at times and so warm and sweet in others.All the characters were vivid, well-developed and realistic. I really loved the characters of Henry, Keiko and Sheldon, and really cared about what happened to them. I found it really hard to put this novel down and I look forward to reading more from this author! I gave this novel 5 Stars!

I think I am on a fantasy burn out.I just couldn't get into under the never sky.Time for a Regency Romance.I have been looking throw my books and I think I have almost desided.

It is a nightmare trying to deside what book to read next.

Oh which regency did you decide on Nicole?! :) of course I am interested ;)

I have picked

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

Soph wrote: "I enjoyed that one :) happy reading :)"

Thanks I am not that far but I have already been laughing and grinning like crazy.I love Georgette Heyer.I am enjoying the small village setting.I have lived most of my childhood in a small town and a small island town.

It was hard picking which book to read.It was between 5 different Heyer's,Edenbrooke,and a Zebra Regency Romance.

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

Zebra regency romance?

You MUST read Edenbrooke!! It's wonderful!

[Nicole D.]

Soph wrote: "Zebra regency romance?

It was a book club that specialized in regency romance novels.It doesn't run anymore it stopped in 2005.I heard that these are usually clean or cleaner then other current regency romance.I found one for 2 dollars and desided to check it out.

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

Nice. Enjoy the Heyer and Edenbrooke should be read soon ;)

[Nicole D.]

Soph wrote: "Nice. Enjoy the Heyer and Edenbrooke should be read soon ;)"

I have only heard good things bout Edenbrooke.But I haven't read any non-Heyer Regency so I hope I'm not disappointed.It hard when your intro into the genre is the queens of it Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer.

[johanna (jo)]

I'm re-reading The Hobbit! It's just as amazing (and more) as the first time :)

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

I don't think you will be disappointed - I only have good things to say about it! I hope your not disappointed!

Nicole wrote: "Salyna wrote: "Maire by Linda Windsor"

Just finished it last night. It was a really good book. Definitely worth reading in my opinion. I really don't know what to say about it at the moment without giving stuff away, but it was good.

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

What a beautiful cover. Sometimes I chose books only by their cover. This will be such a book. Do you like it?

[Nelleke]

I just finished part 1 of the Hunger games, it is my most disappointed book of 2013. Now I am going to start in the Night circus, hopefully a better book

Nelleke, the cover is a big part of my choosing a book as well. I did like When Autumn Leaves. I can see where it wouldn't be for everyone, it just depends on if you like magical stories because this one is nothing but magic. It's very good though, it seems a bit disjointed when you're reading it but things are tied together in the end.

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

We need to read sense and sensibility together like we were planning on Alice! :D

I enjoyed Night Circus. A little different than expected, but still a good book (in my opinion).

That's a good one, Salyna! I loved it! ;D

[Salyna]

Yeah it is! I'm loving it so far:)

Ooo, that's on my "get to it" list for 2013 :)

I am now reading Searching for Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading by John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath is a beautifully written but extremely moving and heartbreaking novel with interesting, realistic and well-developed characters. I love John Steinbeck's wonderful writing style. I just loved his fantastic vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people. At times the descriptions of the barren landscape and the appalling conditions the family have to put up with is very depressing. I wanted to put the book down sometimes due to this but I'm glad a persevered through and finished the novel.This novel well deserved the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction it won in 1940 and it really is a masterpiece of 20th Century literature. It is definitely a must read! Four stars!

Steph, I don't know when. It was supposed to be done by now but it's not so I'm not sure what's going on with it. I haven't searched for anymore info lately. I suppose I could email the author.

[Kim-Lost-In-A-Book]

Finished the above book I was reading, then read by Adriana Trigiani and am now reading by Breanna Yovanoff
