Michael (lovechild) | 280 comments At the moment I keep reading "This is How You Lose Her" by Junot Díaz his writing style is raw and real for some. I want to move on to "A Once Crowded Skyy" by Tom King. But looking through comments for other ideas. =)

I really enjoyed that trilogy. I thought the writing was really good, and I loved Sam and Grace's love story. No love triangles to mess with; they're a sweet couple :)

@Michael: I've been wanting to read "This is How You Lose Her"! Glad to hear it's good.


message 305: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Hutchinson (kaylahutchinson) I am currently re-reading "The Princess Bride." The Princess Bride I'm about to start The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The Eye of the World I know it is a bit of a drastic change in genres, but I am excited to finally crack it open!


message 306: by Haley (new)

Haley I love the "Princess Bride"! I've always loved the movie, and I thought the book was just as wonderful :D


message 307: by Michael (new)

Michael (lovechild) | 280 comments I recently found a copy of the The Prince's Bride but am afraid to read it. Growing up with the movie as one of my all time favorite movies, I feel I may be biased.


message 308: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Hutchinson (kaylahutchinson) The book surprises me every time with how great it is! @Michael, you will love it. It has so many different things to offer in comparison to the movie! I still love the movie!


message 309: by Haley (new)

Haley @Michael: I felt like the book just went into more detail than the movie did. Reading the book, I didn't notice any real obvious changes from the movie that I'd seen so many times. You just get some added background to the characters and their stories. It's very well written—just as fun and funny as the film!


message 310: by Michael (new)

Michael (lovechild) | 280 comments @Kayla @Haley. You know as deep down I had to have bought it for reason. =) So after I finish A Once Crowded Sky Will give it a try.. Then who know invite everyone over and have a Prince bride party.. "inconceivable"

Swati (swati_unexpected) | 23 comments Currently reading Bring Up the Bodies , really loving it :)


message 312: by Sitikhadijah (new)

Sitikhadijah Yaacub (dandeliondust) | 3 comments Now, I'm reading Paths of Glory by Jefferry Archer. I am really enjoying it right now, for the story line is different from other books that I have read.

The book that I highly recommend is 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. It's an absolutely amazing book. It is completely different from the others. If you are the kind of a lonely person, this book really 'talks' to you.

I read Freedom before this. Good book :)

message 315: by Maxine (new)

Maxine King | 14 comments And I recommend book by Shameek A Speight. Excellent writer.


message 316: by Marissa (new)

Marissa | 2 comments I'm currently reading Raven by Allison Van Diepen, and I have to say I'm not a big fan so far. I'm sure at some point it's going to get better, but I'm on the fence and considering not finishing it because it just seems a little all over the place for me right now.

Though I do recommend The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater it's the first in the series and I loved it! :)


message 317: by Emily (new)

Emily (emilydodd221) I'm reading Marked, the first of the House of Night series, it's really good, but I don't reccommend it if your parents check your books.


message 318: by Haley (new)

Haley I just started The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski . So far the writing isn't absolutely, standout amazing, but it's been pretty good so far and I'm just getting to the good parts :)

Danielle (danielle_k) @Emily lol I was shocked at the Hallway scene near the start!


message 321: by Alex (new)

Alex (alexrose15) I have just finished the book "Death Cloud" by Andrew Lane. It's very good if you like Sherlock Holmes. The plot was very fast-paced some places more than others. It's Holmes' first case at 14.


message 322: by Nicole (new)

Nicole | 2 comments I'm currently reading three books, one of them being The Wayfarer Redemption (I love fantasy series!). I highly recommend it :)

I'm reading The House on the Borderland, but I can't quite get interested in it. I want to read to know the explanation for al the events that happen in the book, but I don't really like it so far

That sounds good, I'll have to look in the library


message 326: by Shannon (new)

Shannon | 18 comments Just finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. The second book in his The Passage trilogy. Both are amazing reads! Now about to get started on The Lady's Slipper by Deborah Swift. Haven't read a historical novel in some time so hopefully this one will be refreshing:)

Really wanting to read that one. I have it on reserve at the library but it will probably be awhile before I get it. There's like two million people head of me lol.


message 328: by Meg-Anne (new)

Meg-Anne | 23 comments I just finished The Twelve yesterday and am reading Zombie Fallout 2 by Mark Tufo (?)

I requested Warm Bodies and for some reason there is only 1 library in my entire small state that has a copy and it was available! I got it a few days ago - read 100 pages and gave up. not a bad book but I just couldn't get into the talking, thinking, falling in love zombies. I like my flesh eating zombies mindless


message 329: by Amelle (new)

Amelle (amellebooklover) | 7 comments Hello all! I discovered this book from a group of facebook called I Heart Books... I've loved it with a passion it is had for me to explain. This version of Red Riding made me laugh and cry. She's not weak and doesn't have to be saved all the time by the boys, but also she saves the boy she loves. Werewolves and magic and she even rides a motorcycle. I kinda just want to be her, you know. You should give it a read! :>

Secretos y cenizas by Mercedes Santos


message 332: by Haley (new)

Haley I just started Switched (Trylle Trilogy, #1) by Amanda Hocking the first book in the Trylle trilogy. I've heard good things so I'm really excited I finally got to it, but so far everything's been happening a little too quickly for my liking. I like fast-paced books, but this isn't fast-paced so much as just fast.


message 333: by Vic (new)

Vic (nukebubba) I just finished "1Q84" by Haruki Murakami. It is the first book by this author I have read, and I liked it, despite it's out of the ordinary structure and style. I have now started "Speaking From Among the Bones", by Alan Bradley. This is the latest (I think fifth) in his Flavia De Luce series about a precocious eleven year old girl detective. I would recommend this series to anyone. Flavia may be a child, but these are not children's books. They are well-written mysteries with delightful characters, and can be enjoyed by reders of any age.


message 334: by Kayterbug (new)

The Iron Fae Series is amazing. At least to me lol. It totally is like a spin off sorta kinda from A midsummers night dream. :) LOVE!!

I loved Switched, but found the rest of the triogy, especially the last one, disappointing.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed the Iron Fey books more than I thought I would considering Meghan wasn't my favorite protagonist, so I was curious if The Lost Prince was as good. I just found it at Half-Price Books the other day for five bucks, so I guess I'll be reading it whether it's good or not! :)

Yeah, I've heard really good things about these books, but I think I might have gone into them with a little too high of expectations because I'm not in love with it yet. I'm holding out hope, though! Bummer that the sequels aren't quite as good...

message 344: by Haley (new)

Haley Also, to YA lovers (especially those of you who like YA dystopian and fantasy) I would highly recommend the book Shadow and Bone (The Grisha, #1) by Leigh Bardugo . It's phenomenal - I read it in a day!


message 345: by Danielle (new)

Danielle (danielle_k) @Haley Am dying to Read that. Glad it's good! :-)


message 346: by Kyle (new)

Kyle (Ignoble) @HALEY: Sounds interesting. Might check it out. Also... I've heard people use that term repeatedly on here. What the heck is YA?


message 347: by Haley (new)

Haley It's fantastic; very fun and different and well written. I hope you all like it if you get around to reading it. Let me know!

@Kyle: 'YA' is just an abbreviation for 'Young Adult'
