I love Persepolis. her story is awesome, and so accessible!

I'm sans novel atm, and fretting. I need something deep, smart, and full of heart, like Kingsolver.

Any quick recs?

I know this is an older book, but did you read Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese? a wonderful read.

Reading Takedown Twenty by Janet Evanovich. Horrible. Skip it.

Also reading by Mark Rubinstein. Now, THIS is a really good book. :)

Just started & today.

I have not! I'll check it out

currently reading looking for alaska and enjoying it. so much

I'm currently reading the 2nd book of the serie Fallen, it's called Torment and it's so much better than the first one. I'm starting to see character development, which is my favorite thing ever.

reading dont look behind, by anne rule.

Currently reading the Unbinding Fate series. First book is 2nd book is 3rd is and 4th book is . This series is amazing!

ok I finished and I have to say, I didnt love it. But then I went to and i LOVED it. Great Love story.
In between i read and I am about to start the 2nd book.

I just got done with Sister by Rosamund Lupton very good book but not my fav i have to see if i can find any more from her

Just got done reading Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult This is my 2nd book i read from her the first one was My Sister's Keeper i really loved Salem falls the ending was sad if you ask me. I heard they made a lifetime movie about the book i have to go and see if i can find it

Now I just got 4 more books i need to read and that is
Black House- Stephen King
Gone Missing- Linda Castillo
Killing Floor - Lee Child
The Sixth Man- David Baldacci

I should have these read by sometime next week

I am currently reading Mrs. Poe. Interesting story line with non-fiction references. Definitely one to read.

Just finished Defending Jacob, which was good and now starting The Age of Miracles.

Currently reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.

Well, no need to recommend. Just google the keywords 'best books ever' and it is pretty much in every list ever created from any reliable source.

Though, in my personal opinion, War and Peace is better.

Right now I'm reading Which for a western I'm so far enjoying. I have to say that this Brothers O'Brien Book isn't as slow as some of the others. And I can't wait to see how Patrick gets out of the prediciment he's in or how Shamus and Ironside handle the outlaws that are creating problems for Recoil.

I'm also reading Which I haven't gotten very far on yet. I'm only like 13% through it but didn't read any of it last night due to barely sleeping the night before and totally passing out last night...lol

Currently reading: by Jo Nesbø.

I know I am knew to the group but wanted to share.
I finished reading the Fever series (bks 1 through 5) written by Karen Marie Moning. They placed them in the romance but it should be in the Fantasy/Supernatural section. I found them quite riveting as Moning really knows how to move the plot by adding twists and turns and surprises you would not expect or anticipate. The first one is Darkfever and followed by Bloodfever, Faefever, Dreamfever and Shadowfever. I am finishing Sapphique the sequel to Incarceron by Catherine Fisher.

Halfway through then ontoMary: A Fiction for class....oh, the joys of college reading :)

Currently reading , so far so good!

Shana - Welcome to the group! :)

Chelsey - Ah yes...college reading, so fun...

I'm reading .

Agree with you. Sharp objects was the best of the books. She remind me alot of a female Stephen King lol

Hope you enjoy Gone Girl!!

Thanks! I'm really finding interesting so far. Based on what I've read for Gone Girl, I already want to read Dark Places and Sharp Objects. It's just that good. Gone Girl is also getting turned into a movie now. :D

Gone Girl was good. I have Sharp Objects but haven't started it yet. Guess its a good sign lots of people like it.

Rereading The Catcher in the Rye, an old favorite. Maybe it's because I've rewatched The Perks of Being a Wallflower lately, but these coming of age stories really endear to me. Definitely worth the read.

I just finished Gone Girl and I really liked it. It so good. And it was highly unexpected. It was great.

Got Done reading The Sixth Man by David Baldacci on Friday. The book was okay but not my fav of the King & Maxwell series. I did like Edgar Roy though.

Also got done reading Gone Missing by Linda Castillo I liked it but the family in this one was crazy but I love Kate Burkholder.

Still got to read Black House by Stephen King & Killing Floor by Lee Child

Also going be reading Did You Miss Me? by Karen Rose

I am currently reading by Jeffery Deaver. Its an excellent series if you like suspense, mystery, and police procedures.

I am currently reading "The Girl Who The Hornets Nest" by Stieg Larsson. Its the 3rd and final book what is commly referenced as the 'millenium series'. I HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone who loves Vintage Crime fiction.

Amazing series! I love Lisbeth. Too bad Larsson passed away.

I just finished Night Film by Marisha Pessl and I gave it a 4 star rating. I enjoyed the twisted investigation it lead me on and would recommend it to everyone, especially those who love a good thrill!!

Right now I'm currently reading The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken and so far I am enjoying it tremendously! I'm only on chapter 2 and it is intense, brutal and fast pace! I can not wait to see what this book has in store for me.

I've just finished Eat, Prey, Love and I'm now onto The Fault in our Stars because everyone is recommending it. So far I haven't been able to put it down. I reckon I'll have it finished in the next few days. Already halfway through and I plan on reading more before the day's out :)

Got finsh reading both Killing Floor & Black House i loved both. I am a big fan of Stephen King so i knew i would love it. And this is the first book i read by Lee Child but i loved it going have to read his other books.

Now i am starting on Did You Miss Me? by Karen Rose i am really loving it so far i am on page 200 right now. I have read almost every book of this series and so far love them all.

When i get done reading that book here the next books i going read
The Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane
Still Life by Louise Penny
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult
Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill

Shannon, you have to read Picoult's latest, the storyteller.

I just got The Silent Wife from the library. I am not sure about this one. I haven't heard too many great things.

I'm currently reading this book and is so good!! Not only is it funny, snarky and a great read, its actually a male POV written funnily enough by a Male!!

Sex in the Title: A Comedy about Dating, Sex, and Romance in NYC

Finished The Fault in Our Stars in no time, that book was an emotional journey. I think I expected too much from it because of everyone saying it was great but once I reached halfway I started to get engrossed and loved it.


Onto The Book Thief now :)

The Book Thief is great Samantha, hope you like it.

Thank you Jackie, I'm enjoying it so far, having trouble putting it down to get other things done haha

Oh yeah - The Book Thief. I'm about 15% into it and really enjoying it. Great read so far!
