message 2801: by Nancy from NJ (new)

Katz Nancy from NJ (nancyk18) Let me know how you enjoy this movie Elizabeth. I haven't read a page yet. I've been watching Under the Dome in anticipation of the second season. I seem to be a bit late to this tv series based on the book by Stephen King.


Bridget's Quiet Corner  (chaptersandscreens) Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg
I remember watching this movie when I was younger, so when I saw the book, I had to pick it up and give it a try! :-)

Amanda | 5 comments I am currently listening to 12 Years a Slave on Audio Book and reading A Time To Kill by John Grisham. So far - both are very good books. Grisham tends to slow down in the middle but the pace is picking back up again.

message 2817: by Vessey (last edited Jun 10, 2014 06:01AM) (new)

Vessey I finished "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley not long ago. I bought it based on my loving the mini-series and I am so glad I did. It is great book. The word is unforgettable.

Currently rereading: "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan and "Shadows of the Apt" by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Both are series. I recommend them very highly. Especially "Shadows of the Apt". It is amazing.

message 2824: by Jake (new)

Jake (jakereid14) I just finished Under the Dome by Stephen King I highly recommend it. I also just read Salem's Lot also by Stephen King and it was just okay for me.
I've been on a bit of a King craze lately I just picked back up on the Dark Tower series where I am in the third novel titled The Wastelands.
I've been looking for something other than Stephen King but his literary work is genius and I just can't decide what to move on too next. If anyone has any suggestions on a great trilogy or single book I would appreciate it. Thanks everybody

Actually there wasn't all that much mystery to the book. It was a good read but not my idea of a mystery. I love Agatha Christie. I've read more of her books than any other author. Over 25 and counting.

Glad to hear it - I never used to miss his books when they came out but had just about given up on him as they had been disappointing
