Kristie | 5928 comments I'm trying to catch up on some of my books for review. Right now I am reading Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) (Goodreads first reads) and The Opposite of Maybe (Netgalley). Both are good in very different ways. Wool is dystopian and you are never sure which character will be killed off, so it is a bit intense. The Opposite of Maybe is a light chick lit type read with a hint of romance and some humor. It is much better than I expected, which is always great.

message 2758: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Since I last posted on here I have read Daughter by Jane Shemilt (got 25% into it and gave up as it was getting so many twists and turns).

Then read Exquisite Betrayal by A.M. Hargrove (which I absolutely loved)

Then I've been reading Dirty Nights, Part One by Emerson St.Clair & Dirty Nights Part Two by Emerson St. Clair (which I am finding rather intriguing with the way the characters are a mess in their heads and stuff), I'm reading Dirty Nights Part Three by Emerson St. Clair at the moment.

Harsha Varma (masternamer) Finished Cat's Cradle. An amazing read..

Reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green by John Green.. It's a goodreads choice awards winner but more importantly Patrick Rothfuss is currently reading it!! With the movie around the corner, it's high time I find out what all the fuss is about :P

P.S: Somehow have the feeling that this will blow up in my face and be the next twilight :(

Kristie | 5928 comments Halfway through Hyperbole and a Half: Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened Hyperbole and a Half Unfortunate Situations, Flawed Coping Mechanisms, Mayhem, and Other Things That Happened by Allie Brosh , which is just okay. Also starting The Invention of Wings The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd .

Also, about a third of the way through listening to If I Stay If I Stay (If I Stay, #1) by Gayle Forman . So far it's pretty good. I like the narration, the characters, and the story, but I don't love it.

Even if it doesn't live up to the hype for you I would be surprised if you thought it to be as bad as Twilight! *Major fan of The Fault in our Stars :)

Katz Nancy from NJ (nancyk18) Finished Invisible City today. It was a so so mystery-the first one in a series. Now I am going to begin Train to Warsaw. I am reading these books to review them for our Jewish Community Center which is choosing a book next week to read as the community. Generally, we are able to get the author of the book we choose to speak.

Have to kinda agree with you. It has those funny and heart-touching moments but the characters are too wise for their age.

Haha.. I've been fairly unlucky with contemporary romances. Was just trying to lower my expectations :)

Fault had to go back to the library - too many books, now I'm #178 again. But my 5th grade daughter got to read it. She said she only cried at the end.

message 2793: by Shatika (new)

Shatika Turner | 1 comments Here's a great recommendation! This is Wounded by Ben Burgess! Samantha Miller didn't have an easy start. Molested as a child and subsequently forced into prostitution by her drug-addicted mother, Samantha learned at an early age that men were not to be trusted. Being constantly preyed upon taught her to be a predator. Her target was women-specifically, straight or married women. As the headliner at a local strip club, Samantha capitalized on the gifts she was cursed with. In turn, her life quickly spiraled down a dangerous path of violence, seduction, and exploitation. When Sasha is brought on as the new bartender, she becomes Samantha's newest target. The last thing Samantha anticipated was falling in love. When tragedy strikes, what was once a challenge may prove to be her downfall. Can Samantha heal from her abusive past, or will she always be Wounded?Wounded
