Basically Books! discussion

I'm Currently listening to "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Brave New World", "The Grapes of Wrath", "A Game of Thrones", & "
Wizard and Glass".

I think that might keep me covered 'til the Fall.

Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird and loved it. Now on to the Hunger Games. Oh yeah baby, oh yeah. XD

The Hunger Games is FABULOUS to the max :D i just finished Where she went and it was addictive& heartbreaking i loved it!

Oooh I've been looking for a new cozy mystery series! How's this one? Would you recommend it?

I just finished and now reading

Read Unbroken about a famous olympic runner who gets drafted in 1939 and what he had to overcome as well as all of the men. Out to sea for 52 days in raft, captured by Japanese torture camp for 6 years; it was am amazing story and was true. Makes you appreciate your life. Everyone should read it. Now reading more of my favorite Lee Child books with the strong and sexy Jack Reacher......sigh.

I read a sample of Paranormalcy and it seemed fun. I was going to download the rest but then I had to read the Hunger Games and Shiver for the group read and I got sucked into two trilogies and forgot all about it!

You should :D its great so far :D

start something that matters- blake mycoskie

I just finishedThe Last Madam: A Life in the New Orleans Underworldand I am currently reading The Red Queen, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, and All That Is Bitter and Sweet: A Memoir.

I am reading "Meet the man with the voodoo eyes"/
It is a bit slow but I want to know how it ends..

I'm still reading Wolfsangel. It didn't catch me at all, so I paused it and I'm also reading :3

i FINALLY finished The Lincoln Lawyer (it got good at the end) and am gonna hit Divergent tonight...

and since my new copy of Wolfsangel came in, i started that yesterday and am reading that too....

I really enjoyed Divergent, I'll be interested to know what you think. :)

was that a good book? the lincoln lawyer? because i watched the movie and didnt really like it... i'm the biggest NCIS fan so i guess it was a bit long for one case =D

I'm reading Holy Smokes by Katie McAlister and also Coercion by an Indie author right now. I picked up Water For Elephants but have not started it yet. Anyone read that one?

I have just finished this, And now im reading the next

I'm reading the second book in the Game of thrones series. I guess it is actually called the Fire and Ice series. I love it. As a fantasy writer myself, I love to see great fantasy out there. This series is a huge commitment but well worth the time. The second book is turning out to be as good as the first.

Just finished:

Putting it down as one of my favorites!

Currently reading In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Eric Larson

Just started reading . It's been sitting on my bookshelf for quite some time and have decided to pick it up now :)

and thank you for my party char!! i felt like celebrating too.

i did think it was a good book. all the stuff i thought was trivial in the beginning was much needed information at the end. once all the pieces clicked, i was like...."good one!" i haven't seen the movie, so i don't know if you saw the movie, how much of the book would you already know. i know it's a series but i have no desire to read anymore of the series. i'm good with just the one book. does that make sense?

Lol, Lara, I like throwing parties for random things. I thought you might, we all do when we finish a book we've had trouble with. :)

Finally finished Gail Carriger's "humorous, romantic, steampunk adventure". God, that was a slog. Char, you need to read it and see whether you consider it funny. (I thought the first book was pretty funny at times, after that I think it has become tame American humour masquerading as British humour.)

I will try it... eventually. It's on my TBR. XD

Wizard & Glass is my favorite in that series. I hope you enjoy it!

I am going to start in a bit. :)

Making my way through Les Liaisons dangereuses for school. A bit odd so far, but I like the different tones in the letters.

Still reading Wolfsangel - I'm alternating: a few pages of English, a few pages of French!

Cate, can you please stop linking to your blog everywhere. It's disrespectful of the group rules. If you'd like to promote your blog, you can create a topic in the share your blog section.

How did you like Divergent?

I have just started
as I have been going through a dystopian phase and thought I should really go back to the origins of the genre.

I love 1984!

Jeshu wrote: "I love 1984!"

I've only read the first few pages and already the atmosphere is really intense and the imagery is really vivid. I think I'm going to like it :)

I'm having issues with reading but I am (meant to be) reading

by Anna Godbersen - This is a re-read for my blog. Unfortunately the series isn't as good as I remember and was obviously read before I turned jaded.

by Andrea Maria Schenkel - My mum wants to lend this so I've pushed it to the top of my TBR. The things I do for my mummy. :)

by Charles Dickens - My current audiobook. I shall listen to this as I make my blanket. The blanket is looking good. I have 18 rows to go. XD

So there we have what I'm reading. I don't know why I explained why I was reading them but hey ho.

Today I went to the library and took for the buddy read :)
I'm also reading and (although this is not a book, but a weird visual novel). Oh, and Wolfsangel. I'm proud to announce that I'm near the end :D

Reading "The Help"

I am currently reading

I will be starting

Char - you mentioned working on a blanket...?
what process? quilting, crochet, knitting, ??

Crochet. :)

I read a lot of non-fiction, but this summer I became intrigued with the Song of Ice and Fire. I read all 5 in the series, thoroughly enjoyed them, and have started again in the first GOT because I love the way GRR does cliff-hangers - although they're not quite as exciting the second time around! Thee is a 6th being written and I'm sure I'll enjoy that too.
