message 152: by Rosalie (new)

Rosalie Turner I just finished The Sense of an Ending. I usually don't like bks that are so much in the main protagonist's head but this was well done. The twist at the end was handled well, also.

Julia (JulieLikesBooks) | 7 comments Just finished The Book Thief

It was wonderfully powerful. I am a fan of historical fiction but would suggest this to a larger group of readers. This book shows the importance of literature and writing through a young girls perspective. Simply brill.

I also think this is a good read for young readers (I am almost 14). Amazing that it satisfies many age groups!

I had only spoken to people who had read it in their late 20's and older so it's great to hear that younger readers are enjoying it too. Thanks for sharing Julie :)

Hi, Julie!

I have heard only positive things about The Book Thief. I've wanted to read it for a few years now, and so I added it to my 2013 reading goal. I cannot wait to finally read it!:)


message 168: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller Yea, Dustin! Glad you added The Book Thief. It is an excellent read and you will not be disappointed :)

message 170: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller Just finished Thirst No. 1: The Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice. Not too bad; much better as I got further into the main characters story; after that I was hooked :)

Alondra Miller Just finished reading The Giver. 4 stars; but the ending just tore me up.. i didn't like it at all. i thought there was hope, but the author just dashed my hopes against the ground... :(

They made us read that in grade school.


message 188: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) Yea, read The Giver in 2nd grade for class, don't really remember it at all. I'd like to read it again one day.

I just finished The Green Mile by Stephen King (5 stars for me!), and then real quick I read Stories, Inc. by Evans Light , quite liked it. :)

I have NEVER read The Giver, actually..


message 191: by Alondra (new)

Alondra Miller First of all; I had already graduated high school and had a child by the time you all have read this.. damn, i am old!!

It is a well-written book, just hurt a little at the end.

Alondra Miller I haven't finished a book in about 2 weeks. everything i am reading is huge, but i can't help it. i have been wanting to read A Dance With Dragons since the new year started and Dead Man's Song is a little over 500 pages... mmmm

Aw, that's all right, book-sister. I am STILL working on Atlas Shrugged, which I began in December. And surprisingly, I'm less than 50% through TGWTDT (please see my latest status..)

Janie Johnson LOL Alondra I gotta say that finishing N&D was a huge accomplisment! Forgive me for going on about it, I am just relieved. Now reading Wolves of the Calla and it is very good. I have read almost 300 pages since yesterday so that is pretty good. Hope to finish it soon for my next buddy read 11/22/63. This should be an awesome read.

Indeed, 11/22/63 is an amazing book, Janie. Amazing beyond words, IMO!
