Currently reading The Coffee Shop Book Club. Heart-warming stories.

I have just finished reading "The Devil Wears Prada" and intend to read "Eleanor and Park" :)

Yes, and it's good if you like classic mystery novels (agatha christie & conan doyle's)

Janice wrote: "Not reading anything currently, although I have several books that I will soon read.. Has anyone here ever read The Cuckoo's Calling? I'm thinking of getting it on Kindle"

YES! I personally think it's wonderful! I don't usually read mystery because I rarely have the patience and attention span, but surprisingly I can actually get through Cuckoo's Calling and enjoyed it. So yeah, I definitely recommend it!

Enjoyed The Secret History a lot, no wonder it was an instant classic.

I also went out of my comfort zone and read Just One Day :p I liked it :p

Bracing myself to read the sequels, but just not ready yet.

So, currently reading Captain Corelli's Mandolin

I finished The Night Circus couple nights ago and I am now over the hangover. I was thinking about reading The Titan's Curse/ City of Ashes/ Miss Peregrine's. Any recommend for which book shall i read first?

@flavia i strongly recommend you to start the Miss P's Peculiar series asap. i heard they're gonna adapt the book into movie and is
scheduled for release on July 2015. SO EXCITED

currently reading

the paperback version. It's 960 pages long. Gonna be a long ride.

Reading The Black Isle and The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible. One horror fiction and one humorous non-fiction.

i'm thinking about reading Eleanor&Park by Rainbow Rowell but i'd also like to read Four by Veronica Roth. any suggestion?:)

@Elvina: is Four already available yet in the bookstore here? I'd like to get it.....

yes, i saw it in b&b online.it's 175k i guess

Cuckoo's Calling is goooood;for detective-story readers,it may be predictable but still enjoyable.Recommended.

and currently I'm reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss. so far,quite interesting :)

currently reading Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby. typical.

Currently reading The Boot Camp by Kate Harrison.

I am reading Innocent Blood by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell.

The first I read as a buddy read (it's not really my genre, see). But I ended up loving it! HA! So here I am, continuing the series on my own.

*slowly, but surely, tackling my TBR pile*

Reading The Goldfinch due to peer pressure. Lol, joking. It's because I'm curious about the fuzz.

I just finished If I Stay by Gayle Forman, so I'm going to read Where She Went now

Currently reading . Funny and full of sarcasm, also if you love reading about Tarot, consider to read this one.

LOL.LOL.LOL.

"Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn. So excited! :D

Reading a book by Emma Donoghue, Astray. It's a collection of short stories and the first one got me hooked already!

Also reading a classic, Empire of the Sun. I can still remember the movie, one of my all time favorites.

i'm on The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and loving it so far

I just finished Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley. It was amazing. I loved every single part of it. For those who like YA, you should give this a go.

And now I'm juggling Innocent Blood (still) and Elantris, Part 1 of 3, the graphic audiobook! I'm very excited.

I'm currently reading 1984 by George Orwell. Has anyone finished reading this book?

If I stay and Where She Went are very enjoyable! :)

Hi Nisrina. I had finished the book last month and I really liked it! Well-written and complex. It's quite hard to believe that Oceania only a made up country.

The Culture Code: An Ingenious Way to Understand Why People Around the World Live and Buy as They Do

understanding how our subconscious really perceive our daily activities. it's really fascinating to see how time and again we rationalize and give ourselves alibi... unconsciously fool ourselves into saying things we dont mean! very informative but beware his writing structure is quite repetitive.. nevertheless u get to know different cultural habits ranging from japan, china, european countries and of course america :p

Hi Shienny. Thx for the recommendation!

I am reading So Not Happening by Jenny B. Jones. Something light for the upcoming holiday! :D

I'm now reading The Catcher in the Rye

I'm reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Nice one!

Loveee Fangirl! So relatable :)

I'm currently reading Cinder. Haven't even halfway yet but I'm obsessed with it!

I am currently reading Life after Life by Kate Atkinson, I don't know why, but it is such a drag for me to read it (yet I can't help my curiosity on the story o_o)

Oh my goodness you guys, I just finished Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and I am so in love with it. I agree with you, Patricia, it's so relatable! I read the eBook and now I'm desperate for the paperback! I'm going to read it all over again the moment I get my hands on the book.

Now I'm reading Sputnik Sweetheart by the great Haruki Murakami

I'm currently reading Un Lun Dun by China Miéville. Lots of good reviews in here, so I hope I'll enjoy it!

I'm currently re-reading Tropper's One Last Thing Before I Go, and I'm desperately waiting for Murakami's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki And His Years Of Pilgrimage in English. Yeah!!!

The hardcover will be released on the 12th of August! I hope that by the end of this month or early next month it will be shelved at Kino or Periplus.

Hi Firda. I've been thinking about buying the book. Is it good?

I'm currently reading back to back between Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond and One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez. Both were fascinating so far, though it's progressing rather slow because I've been busy these days. :(

Nisrina Azizah wrote: "I'm currently reading 1984 by George Orwell. Has anyone finished reading this book?"

It's in my To read list since forever lol.
Every time i want to start theres always another book that suddenly pops up for me to read instead...

@Natasha : the premise is very interesting, the plot is, well, definitely not bad, but I am not sure, it feels just like.. meh. I think the problem is more with me than with the book itself, since after been used to reading classics I just can't bring myself to be carried by the book's narrative style (the turn of speech and so on).

If you are more used to contemporary fiction I think this book is just fine.
