I was too. I'm not going to say anything else and spoil it for you. There seems to be a clear divide between people liking it and hating it!

She normally comes at 9, but i only just found out, which was annoying.
Glad she's not coming though. :)

I can't wait to start! Everyone i've talked too has said how much they've loved Legend.

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments Hey guys! I am new to the group and are currently reading a few things:

Crewel by Gennifer Albin - which is amazing!
The Faceless Ones - Derek Landy - yes, it sounds lame but is actually good!
and
Rose by Any Other Name by Maureen McCarthy - which is really dull so far and I might not bother finishing it!

Has anyone read any of them? (P.S. Pls don't spoil anything for me, but I happy to discuss!) :)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Just finished The Forgotten Ones (The Danaan Trilogy, #1) by Laura Howard which wasnot that great. It was easy enough to read, but it felt like a combination of every fairy story I've ever read.

Jodi (readinbooks) | 327 comments I just started The Giver. I have been meaning to read this for years. I am enjoying it so far.

Sarah | 217 comments The Emperor of All Maladies A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, #1) by Patrick Rothfuss

Both are pretty good so far.

I read Name of the Wind in the summer. I liked it. Emperor of all Maladies has been on my TBR shelf for a while now. It is going to have to wait until next year.

Sarah, I do want to ask, is the Emperor of all Maladies readable and easy to understand? Or is it really medical and full of jargon that people might not get?


message 2137: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 217 comments @Jodi: It really depends on the reader, I guess? It's supposed to be a "biography" of cancer, and to me, that's what it's like. It reads like a biography, like cancer is a person and you're going through its life.

Sometimes they say stuff like "Cancer was a pathological disease of hyperplasia in which cells acquire an autonomous will to divide," but they do explain what "hyperplasia" means earlier in the book. But they don't explain what pathological means, so I guess it kind of assumes that you know what it means already.

It's not a book that a third-grader could read, but it's pretty easy for me to understand. It's got some difficult words thrown in here and there, but as long as you've got a good grasp on vocabulary and a desire to know about cancer, it's great!


message 2138: by Jodi (new)

Jodi (readinbooks) | 327 comments Thanks Sarah! I think I will go out and get the book. It seems like such an interesting read.


message 2139: by Kyra (new)

Kyra I'm reading The Angel Maker by Stefan Brijs in Dutch, it's really interesting & The Reader by Bernhard Schlink in German for school. I think I'll start Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov tomorrow. I'm very curious :)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Reading Spellbound and Determined by Dax Varley from Netgalley. I feel that my last several reads have been really mediocre, and I'm just biding my time for all the new releases this fall that I'm really excited about.

I get so dejected when I have loads of ~okay books in a row, I sometimes start to wonder if it's me, then I read something really good and know that it's not me!

Reading Never Fade (The Darkest Minds, #2) by Alexandra Bracken which is killing me. It's okay in 50page chunks, but any more and I lose the will to live, it's just so long! I read for an hour and am lucky if I've gotten through 5%!

Starting Hemlock (Hemlock, #1) by Kathleen Peacock very soon. Hoping that this one will be good ☺


message 2142: by Ivanna (new)

Ivanna (ivannarazote) | 195 comments I'm into self-help books as of the moment:

Loving Work by Mike Hayes and An Exercise in Laughter A Humorous Look at Everyday Life for Women by Tina Krause , both are really good reads.

As for the novel I'm currently reading, it's Born Wicked (The Cahill Witch Chronicles, #1) by Jessica Spotswood . It's been a while since I truly devoured a book I'm reading and this is one of them. It's quite slow during the first part of the novel but it's a worthwhile read once you get to the middle part of it.


message 2143: by Greta (new)

Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Reading Through the Zombie Glass (White Rabbit Chronicles, #2) by Gena Showalter ? Hope it's as good as the first!


message 2144: by Ivanna (new)

Ivanna (ivannarazote) | 195 comments I just finished with The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller in one sitting.

And I've been rereading Where She Went (If I Stay, #2) by Gayle Forman . I can't get enough of Mia and Adam.

I'm about to read Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie . I have expectations for this one, I hope it would be good. :)

I still need to read the first one. I'm reading Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #1) by Aimee Carter , which if asked what I am reading, out loud sounds like 'porn'.

Haha, let's hope nobody asks you while you're reading it! Would be kind of awkward.

How is it so far? I sent a request for it on Netgalley.

It's alright, reminds me of something else though. everybody takes a test, and is assigned a number, which is basically their social class. it's supposed to be fair, but it's anything but. once you have your number, it is tattooed on your neck, and you're stuck with it for life.
