Bookworm Buddies discussion

I don't write reviews cause that's time I'd rather spend reading, and people do such a better job at that than I could, I think. But I mean, I could if I really wanted to though. I don't seem to even have any problem recalling things from books I read like "The Drawing of the Three" twenty years ago. And I doubt I'm the least bit special in any way.?"

I can't remember squat 2 years later let alone 20 years. Maybe while I read i could remember but just because I see titles of the books when I pick them up. Memory has never been a strong suit with stuff like that. I can remember things that require numbers or passwords, but that it about the extent of it. I must discuss a book while it is fresh in my mind. I can remember if I like a book or not, but not so much of what I read.

Yeah, it's really easy while your still reading it. That's for sure. There are those books I read that don't really stick out in my mind. Those are generally the titles I occasionally add to my read list when I see someone talk about or something triggers a memory. For example, I think I've probably read almost all of Koontz's stuff but some of those books just seem to run together. Frankly, I think that says more about his writing than my memory though, lol.

Just started , great start so far.

Awesome! :D

Rachel wrote: "how was heartsick rachel?"

It was okay. Some parts were good but some parts dragged. I thought the subplot dealing with Archie and Gretchen was much more interesting than the main storyline.

Hahahaha! Love it!

hehe Love it Chris!

lol

Only for a little while, Joyland will be out soon! :)

Finished Needful Things now moving on to The Great Gatsby.

the movie with leo looks pretty good- not sure when it's going to be released- hope you like the book

did you find out anything about those old books?

The movie looks amazing! I can't wait to see it, it comes out on May 30 over here so still a bit of a wait.

I haven't been able to find much at all. I'd love to know more about them though!

I loved Gatsby. I think I was the only one in our class back in school who did. I'd love to see the new movie coming out :)
Definitely looking forward to Joyland!

That's great to know. Thanks, Lee! It definitely sounds interesting. Have you also read Gone Girl? Did you like it?

Rachel, would you like to do a buddy read of Gone Girl? I'm a little hesitant to join a buddy read because of my class schedule but I'm game to give it a shot if you are. No pressure though! :)

I'm really enjoying Gatsby, I think it is so beautifully written. I only have about 30 pages to go and I'm looking forward to finding out how it's going to end. I think Leonardo is going to make a great Gatsby.

Ooops I didn't even mean that as a pun lol

Rachel, I know you weren't asking me, but when do you plan on doing the Gone Girl read? I have it, and am planning to read it soon.

I am now on The Waste Lands! I am loving this series. So much refreshed!

That's great! The more the merrier. :) My schedule is pretty open so I'm ready whenever you guys are. I'll start a thread for it.

Enjoy the read guys. I am gonna read it sometime, but of course I have to get the book lol. It wont be for awhile though for me.

hey rachel- as long as you & kathryn don't mind waiting a week- i can do a buddy read for gg ( i just have to get the book from the bookstore)

let me know :)

Great! No, I definitely don't mind. :)

sounds like a plan :)

i just posted the same message in the gg thread so just disregard the duplicate post lol

Now I'm reading Burn by Ted Dekker & Erin Healy. When I finish it, I'll have read the complete works of Erin Healy. I still have a ways to go before reading the complete works of Dekker.

I have not read Gone Girl, but see a lot of people have read it lately, I have it on my TBR list. If you want to do a buddy read on it, just let me know and I will be glad to do it.

Hey J.S How do you like Burn? I always see the book at the UBS but I always grab one of his others first. LOL

@ Lee: That's great, Lee! I started a thread for the buddy read here:

This one's kind of odd, but Ted is odd, so I suppose that goes without saying. Some mysterious things happen in the beginning that I suspect won't be explained for awhile.

I'm reading "Delirium" by Lauren Oliver for a buddy read in another group I'm in! I'm enjoying it. Only on chapter 3, and love the concept!

Yea I love his writing style JS. He leads, you follow. hehe.

I am sure that it's utterly brilliant, J.S!! Enjoy.:)

I finished Burn!

Yay JS! Was it good!?

Janie wrote: "Yay JS! Was it good!?"

Yes ma'am!

I'm happy that you enjoyed it, J.S!

Hey JS and Dustin, have either of you read The Pawn, by Steven James? It was recommended from my Dekker shelf. It sounds fabulous!

That's what I'm reading right now...

LOL Really JS!? heh well let me know if you like it!
