The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

I'm almost done with "Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn. Not sure how I feel about it quite yet.

I just finished reading The Great Gatsby, it was fantastic! I'm seriously looking forward to watching the film interpretation. Now I'm planning to read The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak because so many people have recommended it to me I thought it was about time I read it. :)

I felt very out of the "reading" loop for so long, now that I'm back in it, I guess I'm ALL in. I'm reading 4 books right now, and listening to one on Audible when I'm driving. I'm way behind in all my TV shows, and don't even ask me the last movie I saw. But that's alright. ;-)

OK, to answer the question of the thread, this is what I'm reading:

Fun & funny book...I'm really loving this one. It has some very real and interesting characters.

I'm sort of on a break form this one until I finish Loosely Translated, but I can't wait to get back to it!

This book was for a read-in on another GR board, and I admit, I wasn't very excited to read it. But seriously, it is SOOOO well written I know I will finish it. Not my usual genre to read, but this writer is seriously talented!

I was very excited to find another book in the general genre of my own book, and that he is from CO (where I live) was even better. I've only gotten through a couple chapters, but I'm very struck and impressed by the realism of this story.

What can I say...I'm a die-hard Stephen King fan. I can't believe how many of his books I haven't read, so I'm catching up. This one is on Audible, so I'm listening to it whenever I can't read.

So far I'm liking all of them. I was having a hard time decided which one to read first, but I've had to just pick one and keep going with it or I feel like I'm getting nowhere. So many great books out there that most people will never get a chance to see. I love that self-published and other indie authors are so eager to help each other out on this site. And there are many "popular" books that are incredible too, so it's hard to narrow it down. Sounds like many who have commented on this thread are reading some great books!

I´m actually reading:




And I´m loving them all! :D

I just finished reading the most recent installment of the Bloodlines series Indigo Spell. I haven't decided what I am going to read next

I am reading The End of Your Life Book Club ... I think everyone should read this book. It is a memoir (which I had no idea when I put it on hold) and it's the best one I've read so far.

I am reading The Painted Caves by Jean Auel and I love it. I'm also ready Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis. I heard good things about Thirteen Reasons Why, and I want to read it next.

Finished reading Thirteen Reasons Why

Going to start Insurgent next!

I just got this book on reserve at the library. Very excited to read it!!

Yesterday, I just finished "Die for Me" by Amy Plum.. In my opinion it's nice!! Can't hardly wait to read the sequel.
And I'm currently reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini and The Mirror Crack'd from side to side by Agatha Christie.

Currently I am reading The Passage by Justin Cronin. So far, I'm loving this book.

Reading at the moment.

I'm currently reading City of Glass :)

I'm currently reading Cloud Atlas and I have no idea what to make of it. Hmm.

I just finished my Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayer, a memoir of her years before being appointed to the Supreme Court.

I am currently in the middle of a Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan, thoroughly enjoying his books.

Just finished Every Day by David Levithan

how's the series? interesting? does it have humor?

I just recently finished reading I recommend this book for everybody. I am going to be currently reading

Melissa wrote: "Currently I am reading The Passage by Justin Cronin. So far, I'm loving this book."

I really enjoyed this one, too, Melissa. I dove right into The Twelve after finishing it.

City of Glass is a great ending to what should've been the end of the Mortal Instruments. No need to drag it out, Cassie Clare! In my opinion, The Infernal Devices were much better than The Mortal Instruments, but of course, that all depends on your own opinion.

I've just recently finished Shades of Earth, the final installment from the Across the Universe Series by Beth Revis, and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who loves dystopian, sci-fi, and/or mystery novels.

I'm currently reading The Scorch Trials by James Dashner and I'm already hooked.

I'm currently reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver! I love dystopian books so I have wantede to read it a very long time now.
I don't know what I think yet, though...

I will read Across the Universe series, thanks ofr the recommendation!

Im about to start The Circle Series by Ted Dekker, but I have no idea if its a good book :/

I just finished Austenland. Great book for any Austen fan. Am currently reading Safehaven by Nicholas Sparks. Both are must reads.

You should try Dawn of the Knight if you have a Kindle

Awesome book!!!!

Pilar - The Circle series are pretty good. They are strange and the beginning of the 1st book had me asking myself "WTH am I getting myself into?" But I ended up devouring all of them...so they were good IMO.

Currently reading City Of Ashes. And want to cry so badly

Hello everyone, I'm new in this group and i'm currently reading Assassin's Quest, the thrird book of The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb.

I am also new to this group,and it sounds like fun. Currently I'm reading Vanished by Joseph Finder. After just finishing Scheisshauss Luck by Pierre Berg,I needed to read something fictional.

Currently reading: Legend

Recommend: Marked

That's the first in the House of Night series! It gets a lot of bad reviews but I thought it was great.

I just finished Some Girls Are, it was intense but I liked it.

I really liked Safe Haven. I'm wondering if the movie did it justice?

just started reading the clearing by Thomas Rydder one of my free goodreads

I'm currently reading Infinite Jest (about 2/3 through). It's such a huge & heavy book that I only read it at home.
During my lunch breaks at work, I'm reading The Gift of Rain.
I'm enjoying both of these books. One is a roller coaster of a ride, while the other is rather meditative and peaceful. Good combo.
I'm also listening to an audio version of Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex while on the treadmill. It's surprisingly fitting and entertaining.

thanks for your opinion, i think i will give it a second chance. I read the preface and the first chapter and I thought it was complete nonsense. His comments about viruses and bioweapons made no sense at all... but I'll try again :P

In the middle of Carpe Diem, which I would not recommend.

I'm 100% recommending !! This book is about life, love, and reality. It will make your emotions burst :)

I'm currently re-reading Soulbound by Heather Brewer. and i 100% recommend it to anyone that is interested in a book that is different than your usual paranormal/fantasy/romance books. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ. GOD I LOVE IT

Clo wrote: "Currently reading a trashy book and a glorified slutty character..."
hahahahaha this series is ridiculous! She spends the first 2 and a half books being a complete slutshamer, and then she bangs the hell out of that poet, and turns into super-slut. Not that that's bad (hell, i would if i was her and surrounded by hot guys) but way to be a hypocrite.

Finished Name and Number - John Hoskison. Now I'm gonna carry on reading Bad Blood: A Vampire Thriller - J.R. Rain.

Currently reading Fated by Sarah Alderson. Just riveting.

I just finished the Switched trilogy, and while they were enjoyable enough, they weren't great. And the third one was my least favorite, which was disappointing.

I also just read which is the second in Rebecca Donovan's breathing series. They are incredible. AMAZING, five-star books that I cannot believe more people haven't read. They can be painful, but I think they're highly realistic and she's a wonderful author. You care about all the characters and about every single thing that happens. I recommend them to everyone. The third one is coming out in July.

And I just started

Right now, I am reading
Shades of Earth Its such a good dystopian/romance/ya/futuristic page turner

I read all of the LOTRs and loved them, but you said you're also reading an I am Number Four book. Are they a series?

Both of those books are really good! The House of Night Series is amazing. Do you know when the next Lunar series is coming out? I can't wait for it!

Oh Lord, I don't wanna be a downer, but after the first book, it's just downhill from there. I couldn't even finish Beautiful Chaos.

Claire wrote: "I'm currently in between books because it's exam week and I'm a little weary of getting caught in a book and forgetting/choosing not to study, but I'm planning on reading The Diviners by Libba Bray..."

Have you read the Gemma Doyle series? Its also by Libba Bray and its really good.

Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, Book 2) by Marissa Meyer is out 7 Feb 2013

Michelle wrote: "I have recently finished two different books The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks, which was excellent, and The Mortal Instruments City of Bones, which I really enjoyed and it had some surprises I did..."

City of Bones is really awesome, and is the rest of the series. I suggest you move on from Beautiful Creatures. I liked the first book a lot, and if you get into that one, I think you'll like it, but it basically goes downhill from there throughout the series.

I am currently reading Avalon High and The Angel Experiment. They seem pretty good so far. I just finished re-reading Divergent, which is like one of my favorite books, I can't wait for the third book to come out!
