Indonesians Who Love English Books discussion

Legend by Marie Lu.

Currently i read The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. I hope i can finish it soon >__<

I'm currently reading An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. Generally speaking, it's fantastic! Love the world, the plot, and the characters.

I'm currently reading The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. So far so good! I loved her The Secret Life of Bees (but hated The Mermaid Chair) so I was excited to learn that she has a new book out and had been waiting impatiently for the paperback edition to come out.

Hi,,i'm new to this group. and right now i'm reading my life as white trash zombie.

Reading the DUFF by kody keplinger. It is good.

Hi guys, how are you? Currently I'm reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Already past halfway to the end and I really enjoy the humour and the mischiefs Nobody Owens experienced. Cannot wait to see how things unfold!

In between I also read Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. It's a poetry collection and Whitman touches every kind of subject there are, from patriotism to romance, from solitude to mass fanfare. Sometimes it intrigued me, sometimes it bored me though. We'll see.

Currently I'm reading several English books such as James and the Giant Peach, Coraline, Charlotte's Webs. Just this morning I finished George's Marvellous Medicine, Matilda.

I'm currently reading Magic Study by Maria V. Snyder, the second installment to the Study series :)

I really loved the first book and hoped it went the same for the second

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

I'm currently reading Next by Michael Crichton. I loved Jurassic Park, but this one isn't holding my attention as much as that one did for some reason.

I'm currently reading The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. So far it's good:)

I'm currently reading The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh. So far it's good:)

Starting The Vagrant by Peter Newman

I'm currently reading All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.

I finished Uprooted by Naomi Novik recently and it was such a great read!

I'm still trying to get through The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen but I find the main character to be a tad bit problematic. I know it's supposed to be empowering, but I think her character is an anti-feminist, somewhat. We'll see how it goes.

I'm currently reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's a rather long one though, but so far it's amazing.

halfway through Throne of Glass and liking it so far!

Reading The Count of Monte Cristo . First time reading a thousand page book.

Hello! Currently reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Currently reading The Curse of the Mistwraith. It's very, very slow-paced so far.

Hei! I'm currently reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone. I'm not enjoying it so far. Let's hope I will change my mind soon.

i am currently reading The Important of Beong Earnest by Oscar Wilde. it is a humor drama, full of sarcarsm about marriage.

Hello. I'm new here. I finished the 3rd book of The Lunar Chronicles from Marissa Meyer a couple days ago and i like it so far. Can't wait for the 4th book and the newest book of After Dark from C.C. Hunter. Anyone have read those books here?

I want to try Daughter of Smoke and Bone, but Karina said she didn't enjoy it. So i have to reconsider now and looking for other books. And i think i will scroll your conversation, guys lol. There should be one or two books of my taste.

Hi Reena, welcome to the group :) I've read Daughter of Smoke and Bone and though some bits lagged, I thought overall it's a solid book. The second one was pretty good too. However, I can't get through the third, haha. I found that the middle bits of Laini Taylor's books drags, but then the endings always leave me wanting for more. But so far, I can't get through the third. I've left it and went on to read something else.

On to what I'm reading... The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner! I've read 3 of them in the span of one week and I'm just about to start A Conspiracy of Kings, the 4th installment to the series. I can't gush enough about it. This series is freakin' A+. I have irrevocably fallen in love with the story and the characters.

Reading Seveneves. Liking it so far..

I'm currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha.

Hi, Rachel! I am sooo happy that you love this series! :D I have wanted to talk and discuss it with someone but I couldn't just find any. Now we can gushing about it together. Haha..

Soon, Juliana! I'm just about to finish A Conspiracy of Kings (I've been putting off a lot of work to finish this series, haha). When can we expect the 5th?

Reading The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, a very riveting food-detective work :)
Thankfully the atrocities described there mainly happened in the USA (or at least I hope so). Successfully converted me to Beyond Organic faith (any believer here?).

Finished reading The Glass Palace, a captivating journey from Burma, the Golden Land, to the military dictatorship Myanmar of today. Next, another Amitav Ghosh's book The Hungry Tide.

Woww iam interest to read The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.. I should put it into my TBR list >__<... Have you read these books too since it almost similar theme :
1. Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us
2. Eating Animals
3. Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
4. Sugar Crush: How to Reduce Inflammation, Stop Pain, and Reverse the Path to Diabetes

Yes.. i think i should think about what i've eaten before is it good for my health or not.. that's why at least i start to reduce eating red meats and some junkfood/soda.. try healthy lifetyle :)

I just finished reading More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera and OMG i just wanna crying silently since the story is so great! it is broken and somehow frustating! i doesn't recommend for you who doesn't like Not Happy Ending story you can just stay away from this books.. :D

I also do some Booktubeathon challenge which start on August 3rd until August 9th 2015.. Wish me good luck! :D

@Marina: nope, haven't read any of those yet

What started me on this path was The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter, made me realize the evilness of meat-factory. Then I read another wonderful book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, which taught me the importance of supporting local farms/economies. Eat Locally!

And now, you'll be surprised to hear that red-meat is not the evil ones here (eating a grass-fed beef might be healthier than eating a corn-fed salmon according to this book). What matter is not only what you eat, but also what you eat EAT.

Sounds like I good book. I do like Not Happy Ending ending, so I might give it a try :-)

Good luck for your challenge! XD

@Anny

Haha i haven't read the book that you mentioned aboved i will put it into my TBR list too. Thank you for the recommendation XD. Yes after i read Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer i think about became vegetarian since i feel disgust with the way slaughter house treats the animals. I lose my appetite for meat a few days later >__< .

yup I do agree that is not only what we eat but how the process our food is actually? It kinda freak me out when read those books especially about salt, sugar and fat consumption hiks.

yes it is a great YA LGBT books it similar like Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe but it not happy ending story.. this few months i love YA story with LGBT/realistic fiction/mental-illness theme so yeah this is one of my favorite now :3

Thank you Anny! XD

After finishing Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells and Scott Westerfeld's Midnighter #2, now I currently reading Black Glass by Meg Mundell :)

Right now I ditch my and getting attached to . It's really amazing, even without considering the writer's only 23 when writing this. It makes me so envious.

Currently reading Reasons to Stay Alive
So good, thought provoking, eye opening. I think everyone should read this book at least once. I'm halfway through, and I can see myself want to re-read this book for every 3 months or 6 months.
