The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

I've finished The Succubus Gift - B.R. Kingsolver today. Now I think I will read From a Dead Sleep - John Daly.

Finished reading The Escape Artist by Diane Chamberlain I really enjoyed this one.

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I read yesterday. I just couldn't put it down. Highly recommend - don't let the YA label fool you if that's not typically your genre.

Enjoying Chanakya's Chant right now.I would definitely recommend The Stranger-Albert Camus.

Just finished . Highly recommend this series for everyone. Next up on my list is: .

Yesterday I read and finished Opal Fire - Barbra Annino.

I am reading Maurice by E.M Forster, I recommend anything by that man, so beautiful.

Reading through these comments, I've added to my "to-read" list.

November has been dominated by and currently .

Sometimes I take a break from the others and read some of , which I will eventually finish.

Slowly reading for my book club. Think I am going to dive into the new "Black Falcon" .
And still slowly reading the "Phantom Tollbooth" with my son.
Going to Seattle in a couple of weeks and hoping to find a good used bookstore and then get a cup of coffee at the original Starbucks.

Currently reading Blood and Betrayal by Lindsay Buroker. Can't get enough of the Emperor's Edge Series! Also reading Days of blood and starlight which is shaping up to be as good as (maybe even better than) the first book so far.

I am finally-Finally reading Divergent, and I am surprised at how much I like it. I honestly didn't think I would like it much. I'm not a big fan of dystopian. But this is pretty great.

I'm currently reading Shooting Scars, Book 2 of The Artists Trilogy. So far, so good and I've never read a book like this before. It's a page turner and it's really good.

I just started Divergent. I like it too.

The Grapes of Wrath. Can't believe I've never read this one. Great read!

i'm reading the wolf gift and merrick by anne rice

I'm currently reading , the second book of the Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson :)
It's an amazing and well written series so far!

I finally started the City of Bones and... I have no idea why everyone likes it. The characters are like 5 years old and the dialogues are written for kids only.
I finished the Unearthly novel recently and I liked it much more than this one.

Kierra I didn't like it either. It recieved a very lovely one star review. However for reasons I don't fully understand I read the next two in the series. It does get better but don't expect the series to be amazing. The writing is still not great and the character development is poor. Still it's good enough to make a movie out of I guess.

Yuli - I love Brandon Sanderson to bits. I've finished book 2 of the mistborn trilogy and am looking forward to reading the third. Seriously anything written by this man is worth picking up.

Yes I heard! :D Will you read the fourth too? Though I heard it's years after the first set of books.

Yes I will. It's to be another trilogy apparently. I'm sure it will be good too. Have you read The way of Kings (also by same author)? I'd recommend reading those after your done with mistborn.

No not yet, but thanks! I was wondering what to read after this series.

Reading finished much better than the first!

Finished what kept going through my mind:

A big helping of "Beaches", a heaping cup full of "the Help". a dash of "Dream with little Angels", and a light sprinkling of Steel Magnolias, garnished with some Fannie Flagg vernacular.

I was going to start reading "The Book Thief", but now I am broke and in the mood for some "fluff" so I dived in my box of cheap used trash books and discovered:

I am in the middle of Divine by Blood by P.C. Cast and Revealed by P.C. and Kristin Cast. Both are pretty awesome.

Currently re-reading: & . It will finish up my CLAMP challenge.
Next up are & , which are also the last two books on my TBR list for this month.
So excited, I might get ahead on my TBR reading!

I am irrevocably in love with "Me before you" written by Jojo Moyes. A whoasomely beautiful storytelling and so ingeniously yarned characters. A wholehearted recommendation to each and everyone.

I think it portrays a case of depression leading to suicide very well. Every case is different and while there is a list of tell-tale signs, a person does not always fit into the checklist. It's supposed to make you think of how easily someone could fall through the cracks and to consider how you affect other people. I've been through depression and it is very common to shut out the world and those trying to help.

I read it a month ago and loved it!

I need a good book to read. I m half way through Shopaholic ties the knot and I am bored out of my mind. I m even thinking in just stopping altogether

I am sure you did. I myself am unable to put the book down.

I am going to start reading by Julia Crane.

Getting ready to start (and hoping I'll actually be left alone during my lunch break so I can read it!)

Currently, I am trying to work my way through Anna Karenina, very slowly. I just finished Fangirl which I loved!

I recently just finished The Golden Compass and now since my book just now arrived in the mail, I'm reading Angelfall which I am really excited about :)

Finished The Woman He Loved Before by Dorothy Koomson

I quite enjoyed this one :)

My review : https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

So excited to be part of this group. Will add more later.

Currently reading . Finished two days ago. Probably going to Austen after I finish Room.

Looking For Alaska by John Green is turning out to be much different than I thought but I like it.

I just started this book today, and it seems really good so far!

Red Hill

Sounds really good Liz! I just added it to my ever growing TBR. Let us know what you think of it when you finish.

Currently reading and so far I enjoy it :)

Room was one of my favorite books this year, and still haunts me.

I definitely will! I'm only a few chapers in right now but it's really good so far!

Just finished a book out of my cheap used books box . Going on a trip in a couple of days and downloaded a lot of trashy books so I guess I will start on them.

If you are looking for a cheap trashy e-book read, I would recommend The Black Falcon series . They are really well written.

Shades of Earth by Beth Revis.

The most unrecognized dystopia books. I love that series...

I just finished The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I loved loved loved this book. I hear the movie version now out isn't as good as the book. I can totally see that, the best part of the book were the descriptions and the way words were used. I very much recommend this book. I just started The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It's my first time reading one of his books so I'm interested to see if I turn out to be a fan of his or not.

I just bought The Book Thief! I've heard it recommended so many times here I had to get it.

I'm currently reading Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I've been reading it off and on and I keep coming back to it, so I'll probably try more of his books.
