Aghora: At the Left Hand of God

Reading this mind blasting book!!

I am currently reading The Name of the Wind and Pride and Prejudice.

I am currently reading River of Smoke by Amitav Ghosh

please give your views about this book, as I am eager to read it.

I haven't read anything by Amitav Ghosh. What a shame!!

Haha..yes. Did you enjoy it?

a world of its own

I was currently reading and I have to say I loved this book. It had me laughing,crying and disgusted. My emotions were every where. I highly recommend this book if you like romance. 5 stars for me

I'm currently reading 'Becoming Phoebe' by J. Michael Neal.

I've been glued to the Taj Trilogy Series! This one is the second of the lot. Beautifully written. The charm of the Mughal history never fails to capture your mind!

I am currently reading the trilogy so far I am really liking them. Very different from most of Colleen Hoovers books.

I am currently reading 'Homecoming' by Tanya Bullock, and it is my very first ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) that I have received. : )

I am now reading 'Tangle of Thornes' by Lorel Clayton.

This has been a rough reading year for me. I have completed a handful of books but over the last month I have also started and not been able to get through a stack of books. Thankfully it was books that i borrowed through Overdrive. At the moment I am reading . I have been dragging through it too but I just saw the preview for the movie and it gives me hope that the book will get better

Started this morning; thank you Overdrive!!!!!!

Just finished and I highly recommend it. Was so good.

I started reading a couple of days ago and I am still interested in it however I am getting a feeling from it and I was very disappointed in the ending of hat book. I really hope that Girl on a Train does turn into that. Without giving anything away did anyone else who read Girl on a Train get that same vibe from it?

I'm currently reading Uncle Tom's Cabin and it's killing me, but I'll finish it. After that I'll start with Great Expectations and The Crystal Key

Reading Worm. Superhero/SF/fantasy/action book.

I am currently reading 'Backpack Chronicle: The Perspective' by Adam Que.

I just started the Percy Jackson series! Currently reading book # 2!

Just finished SOUNDLESS by Richelle Mead (a good, easy read book, though I found the ending weirdly disconnected... I was hoping it would be a little mroe realistic than that, like the rest of the book) and started THE SCARLET LETTER (man he uses a lot of words to say the simpliest things!)

Currently reading this The Well of Ascension

started last night and the only reason I stopped is because I needed to sleep. This year has been a bad reading year so far so I hope going back to an author I am familiar with and that I Have enjoyed in the pass with help kick jump my reading.

You know it already!!

This month itself. Looks like now Amazon has implemented Siri for goodreads. Lol

The Wrath and the Dawn, by Renee Ahdieh.

It's about the Arabian Nights. And it's so good. I hope to finish it soon :)

Just started The Notebook; I just finished which was the kick off to a Nicholas Sparks marathon I have planned to read. But at this moment I will most likely only read the NS books that were turned into move. I have already seen the moves I want to see how they actually compare to the books. I know the books are always better but I still like to see what kinds of artistic liberties were taken when making the movie.

lone survivors by chris stringer

Currently Reading:
The Damnation Game - Clive Barker (Have read 95 pages and still waiting for the horrors to start.)
Netaji kahin - Manohar Shyam Joshi (A staire on indian Politicians. Loving it.)
Bhagat Singh ke sampoorn Upanyas - Chaman lal (Collection of documents of Bhagat Singh. Off late i have seen political parties just trying to usurp legacies of these figures. They trying to mould these figures according to their own political views. So i'm trying to read this collection to form a unbiased view as to who was Bhagat singh. Till now i'm surprised. Often we are presented Bhagat Singh as a brave heart often ignoring the intellectual aspects of that amazing personality.
The last two books are in hindi.

I'm currently reading The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.

Hi buddies,
Just lumbering through a book, which the TIME opinioned as the best non fiction of the Last century.

I SHOULD be reading something called "The Demon Hunter Saga," but instead I'm reading "Evergreen," the sequel to "Everblue" by Brenda Pandos. I just have to know how this romance involving merpeople continues! Maybe I need help ...

I started ' Twenty four days by Sree Hari.

www.inkitt.com/stories/22428?utm_sour...
It is a high fantasy about a crippled mage travels to meet a powerful healer. When her escorts are killed, she is left with a single sentinel. Together, they must survive demonic creatures, bloodthirsty nomads, and a strange magic never seen before. It was a fairly easy read. If you're into fantasy/romance, I would recommend!

I am reading A Brief History of Time.

The Da Vinci Code

Great, Ginny!! I read A Brief History of Time when I was 14 too! During my 9th grade Summer Holidays.. :) Good luck! It's an amazing book which will change your perspective about Time and Space.. And Atoms too! I remember there is a passage about Higg's Boson too.. Wonderful, right? :)

I'm currently reading Allegiant

Just juggling many reads:
Goa Galata(गोआ गलाटा)- Surendra Mohan Pathak(सुरेन्द्र मोहन पाठक)
It's a fast paced thriller involving a Jeet singh. It's eighth novel in jeet singh series. The story is fast paced and engaging right now.
Jahaj ka panchhi(जहाज का पंछी) - Illachandra joshi(इल्लाचंद्र जोशी)
Right now i have read just 30 pages and what i have garnered is that the protagonist was a very honest guy and he found out soon that honesty is not the best policy. He faces resistance and backstabbing in any job he takes and finally he's so exasperated that he leaves erything and starts living in Calcutta as a homeless guy. Now he has nothing here. And he sleeps on road side and the story involves how the people often took him for a thief because of his looks(he has not shaved and he's getting thinner as he has no money to feed him).The book is sometimes funny. I'm liking it till now.
Netaji kahin(नेताजी कहिन)- Manohar shyam joshi(मनोहर श्याम जोशी)
It's a satire on philosophy of indian politicians as to why they join politics. It's a collection of satirical pieces in which netaji( who is not a political big wig) tries to become one by anyway possible. Meanwhile, he also gets richer day by day. It's hilarious. Try it if you can understand hindi.
Bhagat Singh ke sampoorn dastavez(भगत सिंह के सम्पूर्ण दस्तावेज़)- Chamanlal
Collection of documents written by Shaheed bhagat singh. We sre often shown Bhagat singh as a guy who was very courageous but he was thinker too. These documents show that.

I've seen so many posts like this. Really for me, I just found it smart to create a spreadsheet of all the books I've read and a short summary. Most of these books I purchased online so I have an okay Idea as to how many people actually recommended these books as well.

1. Look Again by Lisa Scottoline : http://amzn.to/1YXBNax

This book portrayed a mother's love regardless of how you became a parent. Not only that, it had you asking yourself, would you, could you, make that call? There is a real emotional pull between doing what is right and NEVER wanting to give away your own child. I think that the way she goes about finding out the truth is a very real look at not wanting to show all your cards until you absolutely have to.

2. 15th Affair by James Patterson : http://amzn.to/1YXCbWk

I love reading James Patterson's book; but I especially love and enjoy the Woman's Murder Club series. A cop, a medical examiner, a reporter and a prosecutor make up the club, and when they get together, look out! This book was special. Can Boxer trust her husband. He was missing for over a week, and Boxer finds out he has lied to her. I don't want to reveal too much, but this book kept me turning pages all day. Yep, I could not stop reading it and read it one day. I highly recommend it.

3. The City of Mirrors: A Novel by Justin Cronin : http://amzn.to/1YXBUmk

Really loved this trilogy - will make an excellent film if they ever get around to making it!!! I only wish I had been able to read these books consecutively without waiting for a few years between each one. It was a little difficult to catch up on things and remember where the story I had left off. Although, I will say this one was easier to jump into than the leap from the first book to the second.

4. The Last Mile (Amos Decker series) by David Baldacci : http://amzn.to/1XvtROM

The Last Mile refers to the last journey a Death Row inmate walks as he or she heads toward his/her execution (even if it is only 30 to 50 yards or so). In this novel, the author begins his story with Melvin Mars, a convicted murderer on the Texas death row, just hours before his execution. Spared by a confession by an individual awaiting execution in Alabama, Melvin's case attracts the attention of Amos Decker, the Memory Man, traveling to his new job with an FBI Task Force?

5. Extreme Prey by John Sandford : http://amzn.to/1YXCdxH

I've read everything this guy has written. Some I like more than others but he has never failed to disappoint me! These books are the reason I think I'd like Minnesota..... I'm especially fond of the books featuring Lucas Davenport. If you are looking for an absorbing read, then look no further. This one is perfect for the plane! I started it on the flight out to NYC and finished it on the return flight home. Enjoy!

That's My Contribution. :)

I'm about to start a bend in the road.

Started reading Pride and Prejudice
