Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments right now I'm at the point [with not being able to focus on reading] where I wish I could just go back and read all my favourites for the first time. but I am reading a bunch of short story/novellas to go with trilogies I've read.

Irene (raenne) I'm reading Ikke en fjer bedre by Dennis Jürgensen with my boyfriend. A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare is for a MOOC I'm enrolled in. And then I'm reading The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell for pleasure. Oh, and on Wattpad I'm reading Started With A Lie by Cordelia Rose Saffron

I hope you like it! I read it the first time in 8th grade, took me 2 weeks :) Loved it ever since, I've reread oodles of times! Usually I don't read it cover to cover, I just open the book and start reading.

I have stacks and stacks of books all are. It's one of my big ones as you know. Not sure when I will get to it. There are so many older books and newer books I'm finding on good reads and the groups! This is a blessing and a curse :-)

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is one of my all time favorites. I enjoyed The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern too but you really can't compare it to The Book Thief, they're both so different from each other. It's a good book though, the writing is very unique and it will draw you in.

I think that book really depends on the person. I've heard mixed reviews.

Is Dorothy Must Die (Dorothy Must Die, #1) by Danielle Paige any good? It's been on my tbr for a while....
Just started Thirst No. 2 Phantom, Evil Thirst, and Creatures of Forever (Thirst, #2) by Christopher Pike I have to say this series has a very interesting take on hindu mythology. I'm not really sure how I feel about it but I've heard this one was better than the first so I'm willing to give it a shot.


message 12828: by Sky (new)

Sky (mikotea) | 276 comments okay so I read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz in maybe three and a half hours today. it wasn't even on my tbr list, and I regret that it never was.

Same. I'm interested and definitely gonna check it out, but it seems like most are split pretty evenly in the love hate camps for it.

Andrea (alexandra14) | 218 comments I'm reading Elsker (The Elsker Saga, #1) by S.T. Bende


message 12831: by Alison (new)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments Yea same here with Dorothy must die.. Glad I'm not the only one I really didn't like it that much. I want to try to reread it so I can read the second one but I don't have a desire too lol.


message 12832: by Alison (new)

Alison Morquecho (thebookishcamper) | 787 comments I am still reading the girl of fire and thorns, although it was a slow start I am really liking it. I have been reading and listening to it and that has been fun

I struggled getting through the first half. The second half really picked up, and you got to truly see how twisted Oz really was, and Dorothy and The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion.

Can't read much else. Waiting for The Heir. Brain will tap out when it comes out.


message 12838: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (ylisa7) Just finishing The 25th Hour and starting That Summer. I'm reading my short books before I go to my library tomorrow.



For those who liked The Book Thief you might want to try The Lock Artist. They are very different books but for some reason when I hear of one I think of the other.

Finished Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard and I LOVED it, it was so good!!

I have other books I'm in the middle of, but I'm putting them aside today at least...they are all kind of depressing reads for my bday! Think I'm going to read Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman today :)

Oh gosh, lots of us loved Ashfall in here. And Mike Mullin is soooo awesome. He was amongst our first author Q&A's in this group and he's so incredible. I still keep in touch with him!

Ooh yes, I agree with Karen, Ashfall is an INCREDIBLE series. So realistic that it's a little scary, but also heart-warming in other ways. Enjoy!
