Second time reading The Hobbit :)
Mod
Alice, I think you'll like it :) I've been wanting to read it again for a while, plus it will be nice to have read it again before I see the movie when it comes out on DVD.Also, I hope to read at least the first Lord of the Rings book since I've never read them.
What I'm reading right now is The Bad Queen by Carolyn Meyer

Yesterday I finished
by Jennifer Donnelly. The Tea Rose is an extremely well-researched and well-written novel which is packed full of unexpected twists and turns throughout the story. I absolutely enjoyed this book! I thought this book was very gripping, intriguing and engrossing tale and I found it very hard to put it down for long. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next! I fell in love with all the main characters. They were all so interesting, compelling and very well-developed, especially Fiona. As soon as I finished this novel I brought the sequel, The Winter Rose, on my Kindle and I'm really looking forward to reading it! My full review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
I've just started reading
by Jojo Moyes.
Ellie: Oh I was thinking of eventually checking that book out from the library. I thought it sounded interesting. Would love to hear someone else's take on the book please.Just finished
which I enjoyed very much.Now will continue on with
Mod
.Now about to start
by Ann Rinaldi.
Alice, I loved Time Enough for Drums when I was younger...I need to re-read it!
Mod

Good luck, I found this book very hard, but also interesting. Very different from the hobbit or LOTR.
I am almost finished with
Dead Souls. Great book, beautifyully written. And I have already started in A Scanner Darkly. Second try, the first time I wasn't really in the mood for this book, so I quitted

It's really good!! At the beginning it took me a while to get into it ... and I really wanted to read the Return of the King, plus Beauty and the Beast isn't my favuorite fairytale ... but I really enjoyed it! Definately worth the read :)
Atm I really want to buy this: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Visual Companion. It looks awesome from the sneak peeks on Amazon :)

.Now about to start
by Ann Rinaldi."OMG......Alice this is my MOST FAVORITE BOOK E..."
LOL really??? your favorite?? thats interesting. I LOVE Ann Rinaldi but I must admit, this wasn't one of my favs of hers. :/ don't get me wrong- it was still really good and I don't think I could ever DISlike something of hers, but it wasnt my fav. :/ I still like Redheaded Princess and Mutiny's Daughter probably best (thats what got me hooked on her). I also liked the Last Silk Dress although it had a few issues. lol
OH I really liked 5th of March too!!!! glad to learn you love this author as well! <3
The Saving Graces was really great. Now I'm reading
I started it before but couldn't get into it.I started it this time and I LOVE it.Every Heyer I have read lately has been Amazing!Almost every book I have read of her's is 5 stars and if I could give them more I would.The Foundlingwasn't very romantic but still amazing.

I'm discussing it with my friend now & plan to start another buddy read soon. :)

We're going to be reading
McKenzie by Penny Zeller. I don't know when, though. Depends on what she's got going on & when she'll be ready to start reading...
Short Straw Bride
by Karen Witemeyer
I've finished reading
by Jojo Moyes and
by Ernest Hemingway. I loved Me Before You from beginning to the end. It's a very complex novel. It is well-written, heart-breaking, gripping and deeply moving. I cried my eyes out several times while reading this book. I don't think I've ever cried this much while reading a book before! This novel deals with the topic of euthanasia and could have been really depressing but it's a credit to the skill of the author that she makes the book so readable. This is a thought provoking story and, whatever you feel about assisted suicide, it will make you think about how you would cope if suddenly all your choices and decisions were taken away from you and you had to rely on others to do everything for you. I gave this book 4.5 Stars!

Now I'm a couple of chapters into
by Janet Evanovich.

I WAS reading
, but did the unthinkable of looking ahead and realized it ended the EXACT OPPOSITE of how I wanted it to!!!!!!! SO- I have done aNOTHER unthinkable and decided to not finish it *gasp*. Instead I am reading
, which I KNOW I will love because I've read the first one already and fell in love with it, and I have it from a very reliable source (aka: Soph) that is is just as amazing. :)

lol completely understand. I used to be a major type A personality, I still have tendencies as one would expect, but I have changed and mellowed a lot over the years.
