Will do! It got pretty low ratings, but I'm sure I'll still enjoy it because I almost always enjoy Koontz :)
I'm listening to

Even if the movie isn't great, more kids out there will read The Giver now than they would have sans movie.

I had to read the Giver for school a few years ago and I liked it. The second and third aren't as good, but I also liked the forth.
I love seeing this genre being more recognize in the movies as well. I was suprised to see this was an omnibus as well, I didnt even know there was more then one book. I've see the first one forever, but happy to see its a complete set. hate reading when you have another one or two to go, its like stopping and stalling lol. we should have a giver omnibus buddy read lol

That's pretty much how I felt when I read them, JP. I plan on reading all 4 this time around so I can see if I feel the same way since I have now already read
which kind of tied them all together (if I remember right).

I finished The Giver, and loved it! Started into Gathering Blue, the thing I hate about this already is it doesnt leave off where book one did. Already its a different world and a different character, which means its its own book, not part of a series (imo). As I read what book three is about its again a new world and new character, im only hoping by fourth the book Sons, it will join the three books together. If im gonna fall in love with characters I want to know what happenend to them, that they are given some sort of ending.
I'm currently reading
and loving it!! Definitely a Colleen Hoover fan! I'm also reading an ARC I won on GR of
! The Good Girl is very good so far and I think will be a popular book soon!

and I'm only a few pages in. On the fence so far."I think you'll like it. The next book in the series isn't as good though.
y'all I just finished harry potter book 3 and loved it. I am totally in love with this series!!! I can't put it down.
I finished my reread of
last night and immediately started a reread of
. I wanted to finish The Giver before seeing the movie tonight! I really enjoyed it and especially loved all the stars in the movie. Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, even Taylor Swift.

karen im reading gathering blue right now too, im actually loving it. like I mentioned in my previous rant, im not always a fan of a change in characters in a series. in the movie the giver, is it all four books combined into one movie, or is it strictly just the first book?
I'm after breakfast going to start reading
and then this evening will continue with Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, next on is
Have a fun weekend with lots of books read, ya all! :P

It took me until the 4th one, when the books got really long.
I finished
a few days ago. I didn't love it, but it was a solid read and I keep hearing the series gets better later.Just started
today.

I read up to book 3 of the Vampire Academy series. I wouldn't say I hated them or anything, they were sort of just okay for me. I don't really think they get better though. I did hear that the spin off series that came after Vampire Academy was much better but since I didn't get through this series I never picked them up.

Yeah, I didn't think the book was anything special, but it was solid enough for me to say "I liked it." At least good enough to get me to go on to book 2. Three or four people told me that it doesn't reach its peak until book 4.

It does get really good...the 4th book is REALLY good! The first few books feel a little juvenile...maybe because its in a school and its a lot of social teen drama? I thought things got better with the 3rd book,we get to see more of the world building and "politics" of this society...then it just builds and builds from there! LOVED the last 3 books in that series! I still need to read the spin off series too.
