The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

I'll definitely tell you how it is, but it may be a while before I get to it :P

I've just finished reading Calling Romeo so the next book on my reading list is Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.

I was supposed to read it right after I finished the Calling Romeo but I think it will at least take some time before I get over the book. But then, that's just me :)

I am currently reading Evermoreeven though I read a few reviews that were not so good.

Oh, let me know what you think about that, Randi. I don't remember liking it much at all, but some people really do.

Well I am 3/4 of the way through and I have to agree with the bad reviews. I have many things that bother me about this book but Ever bothers me the most. Her character just doesn't make sense to me at this point.

Just my opinion so far :)

Haha, I totally agree! But I didn't want to bash it if you were enjoying it :)

I don't remember liking the love interest guy either (I can't remember his name...) I don't think he had that much going for him, and yeah, Ever was just annoying as a narrator.

I have to finish a book once I start it (I'm weird like that) but this is a book that makes me want to bang my head on the wall.

I agree about Damen (love interest).

I'm currently reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. It's really good and it's got lots of amazing quotes which I use on my blog. I am enjoying it but I need to continue reading it because I've suddenly stopped reading it

It's so good! The ending might be a little disappointing for you, it depends on how you take it.

I'm currently reading The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens. At first it was kind of slow but then I got to know the characters a bit more and now I'm loving it. :D

Speak looks like an awesomme book thats going to be on the list for books to read!!

Now reading By The Light Of The Moon by Dean Koontz. I started it before but forgot where I left off. Let's see how this goes ^-^

Just finished Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" (amazing book... they say the best mystery novel ever) and "Murder on the Orient Express" (also good). Recently finished Vince Flynn's "Term Limits" and "American Assassin" - both outstanding.

As a good alternative (with a great plot), I'd recommend "American Assassin" by Vince Flynn (modern day setting, of course). Animal Farm is a classic, but Orwell's other classic, "1984" is even better!

@Haley, I have no idea how to respond to comments on here. I never finished reading the Game of Thrones book, I like it though, the Song of Ice and Fire series will probably take a while for me to read especially since i don't have them all.

Lixian, if you see someone's comment that you want to reply to, all you have to do is click on the little "reply" at the bottom right of their comment box and it'll put part of their comment in italics for you. I was on Goodreads for a while before I figured that out :)

My cousin said the series was great, but I only have the first one and haven't ha the time to read it. But I'm glad to hear you liked it so far. I've heard good things.

@haley! Thanks, I will probably read the whole series one day if i get the collection box. I don't think that button appears when you use a iPad.

Reading 'Clockwork Prince'!!!! My heart is broken :'(

Hopefully I'll be able to get to them soon!

Oh my gosh, Christy, THAT BOOK! I love Cassandra Clare, and I honestly had to stand up and walk away from that book more than once, especially as I got closer to the end, just so I could calm down before I continued reading :)

I think it's easier to say what I don't like: cheesy romances and dungeons and dragons types of fantasies. Anything that is predictable is just ugh to me. Other than that I'm super open to new genres and books.

So I have a question for anyone that might be able to answer. I'm looking for an adult vampire book, or series. I read the first...6 maybe of the Anita Blake series, but then it just became too much. any suggestions? (:

I am currently reading City of Bones now. No comment about it yet since I just started reading it. But I don't like the constant change of narration of the characters. It's actually quite distracting.

I'm currently reading Gone Girl and One True Thing for the 2nd time. I joined another the Fiction Fanatics goodreads book club before this club. I'm participating in a challenge in the FF club and I'm choosing to read the following in Feb.: Safe Haven because of Valentines Day, Sugar to read a book written by an African American for Black History Month, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan book set in China for the Chinese New Year, and The Handmaid's Tale as a book with a red cover or that has red print on the cover because red is the color of love.

I'm currently reading The Host, A Game of Thrones and many other books. But these are the main two books i'm reading right now. I don't really fancy The Host because i think that the concept is to weird for me to understand. It is really confusing and most of the time I have to re-read a page because i started to think about something else instead. A Game Of thrones on the other hand is a really good book. I have already seen every season of the show, and reading this book is almost the same thin EXCEPT you get to know so much more. A character you might like in the Tv-Show you can end up hating in the book because the character is much more well-described in the book. i love it!

Have you tried The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward?

Julli, how far into Eat, Pray, Love are u? I don't want to discourage u from reading it because a lot of ppl really love the book. I just couldn't get into it. I usually stop reading a book if it doesn't grab me in the first 30 pages or so.

Now it's suppose to be funny, is it?

Is Gone Girl the Dennis Lehane book?

Actually no, I had never heard of the series. I just placed the first one onto my To Read shelf, so hopefully I'll givve it a go in February. Thank you for the recommendation.

Yes it is supposed to be funny and it's hilarious. They are some parts when I'm laughing up a storm. Have you read it?

Now..."

No I have not. I've heard Radio adaptions of Dickens, and seen some movies, but will have to sit and read some of his books. Glad you're liking it, I hope to read it first of his books.

If you ever get the chance read it, it's good. It's actually the first Charles Dickens book I've read, after this I want to read Tale of Two Cities or Great Expectations.

I really want to read A Song of Ice and Fire Saga but I like all the other recommendations too!

Your welcome...it's one of my favs :)

I really want to read A Tale of Two Cities, and I know some of Dicken's books are wonderful, but I read Great Expectations and did not like it. I'm not saying you shouldn't read it by any means, and I was a sophomore in high school when I read it, but it was one of those books where the characters weren't very redeemable to me. If you get a chance to read it, let me know what you think!

Lillie, like Randi said I've heard really good things about the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. There's also a series called Night Huntress that I think is fantastic!

I'm currently reading Stolen: A Letter to my Captor. And so far it's pretty good and somewhat original.

Alright then! :D Hopefully I can give you a list of some good ones from a lot of different genres so you have some variety to choose from.

The Thirteenth Tale is a fantastic mystery-type story. Extremely well written with a nice twist :)
The Harry Potter series, if you've never read them.
Redeeming Love. It's a Christian fiction novel, so I understand if you're not interested, but it's a beautiful story. I've reread it a few times.
The Fault in Our Stars is a YA fiction. Definitely in my top three books of all time. Funny and poignant and wonderful :)

Pete, no this book is by Gillian Flynn.

My son who is a Freshman in high school had Speak as an assignment. I read parts of it mostly toward the end and want to some day read the whole book.

I am half way through The Twelve Tribes of Hattie, It is a good read, I like the way the author writes.

Hi everyone, I'm Julie. This is my first book club group. I'm excited to find out what the BOTM will be!
I am currently reading The Leftovers. I just finished The Glass Castle, and would highly recommend it
