The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

Oh thanks Katherine., so many books to read wow.

In my introduction that I've just written, I wrote that I'm reading The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory. The protagonist is Hannah Green, a fictional Jewish girl who lives during the reigns of Edward VI, Mary I, and (presumably) Elizabeth I of England. Originally from Spain as refugees of the Inquisition Hannah and her father now have a printing establishment in London into which comes some noblemen from the court. One of them, Lord Robert Dudley, askes Mr. Green to release Hannah to serve at court, where she will become one of the court fools--and later a spy and companion (to Queen Mary).

I also strongly recommend the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.

Rachel wrote: "Hi. I'm new to the group. Has anyone read Divergent or the Hush, Hush series? I'm looking for recommendations for books like these." You should read Fallen by Lauren Kate! The series is similar to Hush Hush and they are AMAZING! Fallen is one of my fav series

Currently reading Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children (hard back not ebook) It is a wonderful read!!

I just finished re-reading this book after so many years would recommend to very open minded readers.

I'm currently reading The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe. It's rare that I have a desire to highlight books but he talks about books and the connections we make through talking about books in such a way I want to take notes so I don't forget anything.

I just bought this book myself so I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! I can't wait to start it!

Just finished WOnder by RJ Palacio. Loved the story and loved the characters in it. Full of heart and very inspirational, i would recommend it to anybody :)

Last night I finished Coraline and I loved it! It's such an easy read and the story is original and interesting. It's creepy and quite a nightmare, but still very beautiful. Coraline, the main character, is very likable and quite brave for a small girl. I'm looking forward to read more books from Neil Gaiman.

I read all your suggestions.. Comments., why no shopaholic book mention on the suggestions or recommendation.,

check out post-apocalyptic love story The After/LifeThe After/Life

I recommend checking out my post-apocalyptic adventure novel: The After/Life. It is the story of Nad Raven - a young man, whose childhood is shattered by a cataclysmic event that leaves him trapped in an underground vault with a few other survivors of a modern day apocalypse. It is a tale of a small community that tries to move on after all hope seems to have been wiped out by an all out nuclear war. With our planet turned into a grim wasteland, the protagonist discovers that even in an isolated micro society there is love and hate, grief and happiness, valor and treason as well as that overpowering human temptation to find out what is out there - beyond the safe walls of the underground shelter. To find out, Nad embarks on a dangerous journey that holds many dark secrets... a journey that will change his life forever...

I love that trilogy! Graceling and Bitterblue are fantastic, too, in my opinion. Really strong characters and a really cool storyline :)

I'm patiently waiting for my pre-ordered copy of Requiem by Lauren Oliver, the final book in the Delirium trilogy! It comes out tomorrow & I can NOT wait to start it! :)

Oh my goodness, Delirium is very nearly the best book I've ever read. I have been dying to get my hands on the last one, and already have plans to go buy it tomorrow!!

I just recently read a book by 17 year old Paige Green called Remys Revenge. Very talented young lady.

has anyone checked out my new book A Scream for Revenge.

poor little Bitch Girl by Jackie Collins

I just finished the clockwork angel by Cassandra Clare, and it was amazing!!! The mortal instruments series and the bloodlines series by Richelle Mead are also epic. Beautiful creatures is also pretty good, if you don't mind extremely detailed books. The uglies series is really good- but the third and second book made me so irritated and sad! The book Everbound by Brodi Ashton is also really good. The host is amazing!! Don't bash it just because its Stephanie Meyer. Same for twilight. Sure, it's not the most complex and impressive piece of writing, but that's the point! It's written so everyone could read, understand, and enjoy it. Those are just the ones I could name off the top of my head.

Okay Liza so beautiful creatures I need to check out. Thanks

Have any of you read the Chemical Garden series (Wither/Fever/Sever) by Lauren DeStefano?

I'm currently reading The Book Thief.

I just finished Slammed by Colleen Hoover and I think it is one of the best books I have ever read.

Does anyone know whether Marcus Zusak has written anything since "The Book Thief"?

I don't think so. There are some books before that one though.

If you liked that one, you need to read her new book, This book was even better!

Thanks Lianne - I couldn't find any on Goodreads, guess I will look on Amazon.

Here you can find the rest of his books on Goodreads. I am the Messenger will probably be on Amazon. The problem is that there are two author pages for Zusak and two book pages for The Book Thief, so you probably got send to the wrong one. Hope this helps!

Eeep! Requiem is finally here! I had to sneak in a few quick pages before work this morning. <3

Great! Thank you so much! I was spelling his name wrong(Duh!)

I am currently reading The Chronicle of Sapta Sindhu by Aporva kala and am liking its vast historical expanse..from Greek to the Indus And from Mesopotamia to Airriana...do read it...

I just started it too!! :D I feel like a kid in a candy store hehe

The Chronicle of Sapta Sindhu
i recommend it for world peace and brotherhood...

life love kumbh
and this for the peace within....

I just started reading The Crystal Promise by James Funfer, and No Rest for the Wiccan by Madelyn Alt.

I am reading the Alt series and am only a few pages into ch. 1 with not much of an opinion yet.

As for the sci-fi book, The Crystal Promise. I like the characters and warmed up to them immediately. So far the story is moving along nicely and is easy to follow. I'm not at a "review" point yet.

Just finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower..... I really enjoyed the book.

Out of stock James Patterson's Pop goes the weasel., :-(.. Is Kobo a nice site to read books?thanks

I just borrowed "The Passage" by Justin Cronyn from the library. It is pretty engaging so far, and is the type of book a lot of you seem to like; an amalgam of dystopian sci-fi, vampire, and adventure. If you liked any of these, you will like The Passage:
I am Legend, by Richard Matheson
The Stand, by Stephen King
The Andromeda Strain, by Michael Crichton

I'm planning on reading them soon because I'ver heard really good things. I think I can find at least Wither at Half-Price Books, so I'll go soon and look :)

I CAN'T BELIEVE REQUIEM IS OUT! I don't have time to buy it until after y evening class tonight, but I have been waiting years for this book. I'm nervous, though, because this is one of those series where I know how I want it to end, and I'm pretty sure I'll be crushed if it doesn't end like that. Fingers crossed!

I seriously recommend The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Honestly it is so good. I cried while reading it.

i am reading The Silver Linings Playbook and Dark Places
