crazy_cat_luv_bb Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I was reading The Power Of Five Series. The storyline is great, I wish I have its last two books Quote
Cassine Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I got Seraphina by Rachel Hartman and The Girl of Fire and Stones by Rae Carson for Christmas and just finished them. They both have beautiful covers and were recommended by Tamora Pierce. Although the second book was about a princess in medieval made-up land, it was entirely different from anything I've ever read. I would recommend both books, they were both incredible! Quote
Tsalagi_Phoenix Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 I want to read Dark Hollow by Brian Keene soon. I'm going to a book signing of his this month and I'd like to have it finished before I go. Quote
Wildbreeze Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 I borrowed Elantris by Brandon Sanderson from a friend, but I have yet to really get into it. He's a good author, though. ^_^ Quote
miemieh Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I'm reading 1q84, bij Hakuri Murakami. (part 3) Does anyone know it? Quote
Tsalagi_Phoenix Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 Yesterday I went to my library's book store and I bought Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. Quote
SamPet Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I've actually decided to re-read the Harry Potter series. Quote
Neomancer Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion Blends in nicely with the genres mentioned earlier in this topic huh? :D Quote
angela_339 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I recently got House of Leaves and am looking forward to reading it, heard good things about it officialsarahjay 1 Quote
Koralis Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 A few of my friends from university and I are all over the world at the moment so we decided to start a virtual book club to stay in touch and Skype every month. The first book picked is The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova. I've never heard of it before, but I just picked it up from the library so I hope it's good. Quote
Cassine Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 We were reading Streetcar Named Desire (I read it last year and love it, even if it is somewhat depressing) for English, and I got a book with it and two of Tennessee William's other plays. I know it's goofy, but I'm really excited about it. Quote
Tsalagi_Phoenix Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 The last book I bought was yesterday at the Dollar Tree. It's At the Sign of the Star by Katherine Sturtevant. Quote
siniri Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 I was given two boxed sets for Christmas: Divergent (2 books) and Matched/Crossed/Reached (which I'd never heard of -- apparently my sister told my brother I really wanted them for some reason). I haven't started either of them yet because I have too many library books and keep reserving more. I just watched the ALA award announcements and reserved the Newberry winner The One and Only Ivan, Bomb: the race to build and steal the world's most dangerous weapon (which was nominated for a bunch of stuff, and I think it won a few, too), and Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe (which also won at least a couple of things).

Tsalagi_Phoenix Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 I bought three books today. I had to go to my library to pick up two books I had on hold and I went in my library's book store. They are having an Easter Basket sale also, where you pick an egg and you can get 10%-30% off. So, the egg I picked I got 30% off the books I bought. The books I bought are: Clockwork by Philip Pullman, Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith and Wolves of the Beyond by Kathryn Lasky. Quote
neopets98 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I want to read This Is Where I Leave You. I saw the trailer today, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I want to read the book first but the trailer reminded me that I really want to read the book Quote
officialsarahjay Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Does anyone on here use Goodreads? I haven't read any books by Ursula K. Le Guin, but I've heard her books are good. If you like fantasy, I recommend Diana Wynne Jones. She was a wonderful fantasy author. I use it. I try to track how many books I read in a year that way. I was recently loaned "Storm Front" by Jim Butcher. I like it, it's a fun quick read. And right now I'm looking for something a little mindless to escape from my day-to-day life. Quote

The Dresden Files gets... well, it gets quite interesting. I hope you can get into the series. A great deal of it should be in a local library, the series has been going for a decent while. Quote
Avia loves Chias Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 i've been meaning to read more classics, but i haven't had the time lately. i've also wanted to read Holes for the longest time and just never got around to getting it. it wouldn't even take too long to read. lol. Quote

I hope you can get into the series. A great deal of it should be in a local library, the series has been going for a decent while. I love a long series. :) I tried getting into the Sword of Truth books, but the author's political leanings really got into the way of the story so I stopped at book 8. But so far, I'm really enjoying The Dresden Files and I have a feeling I'll commit to it for the long haul. Quote
mariko86 Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I love GoodReads!! Anyone can feel free to ask for my username and I can post it or forward it along. I have way too many books that I want to read (my to-read shelf at home is stacked, plus others elsewhere), aha. One of my favourite singers (Alan Doyle from Great Big Sea) is releasing his first book in October, and anytime James Rollins releases one... I want it!! Quote
julinne Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I recently bought divergent and I love it sooo much! Quote
fullonparanoid Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I am just now reading a book called Feed, written by Mira Grant. I picked it up from the thrift store on a whim, and I have been pleasantly surprised. It is a 'zombie' tale...but, it is cleverly written and attention-keeping. Probably not worthy of a slot on my 'keep' shelf, but, it is an entertaining read! :P Quote
