Just finished . Awesome history of the Khyber Pass, spanning from Cyrus the Great in 600BC to the present day.

I'm currently reading The Eyre Affair

Fantastic writing and brilliantly imagined world.

Finished The Martian and it was excellent! Lets hope the movie doesn't let it down.

Currently reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. I couldn't get enough of the BBC series.

You can watch the movie trailer for "The Martian" on youtube. Looks very promising! I can't wait for the movie too!

just watched it...oh wow.... Can't wait too :)

currently reading tandem and just finished city of ashes

Am reading Prototype by M.D. Waters, after reading her Acrhetype. Think of reading Harry Potter after this.

Done with Harry Potter first books. Going back to science fiction. Reading Divergent now.

Brotherband Chronicles book 4-
It's amazing!

Done with Divergent, The 5 Love Languages of Children, Bringing Up Money Smart Kids, The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe. And just completed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Having different match of books to increase individual likes with different books.

Going into Earth Unaware and The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts shortly.

Just done with Jane Eyre, can't get over the book. Also reading Life after life by kate atikson.

Will be starting Memory keepers daughter soon.

Done with Harry Potter, Goblet of Fire and the earlier books. Now, embarking on Cormoran Strike's third story.

Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy. I don't think there is anything out there, that could be more tragic than this. Beautifully written. It managed to convince me to read all other books of Hardy's.

Just finished Hundred-year-old man who climbed the window and disappeared for my book club. Hilarious and entertaining. A book to carry while travelling.
Holidays are coming to town, probably start with "Trigger Warning" that I got for a gift.

Crossfire by Miyuki Miyabe. The English translation is just so bad :( I think it would have been a really great thriller mystery if the translation was done better.

I am reading Moby Dick, after watching the movie In The Heart Of The Sea.

Started reading The 5th Wave.... not too bad :)

Just finished Will Robie's 4th book, The Guilty. Not too bad, it is a detective story this time, the plot was suspenseful and killer unpredictable. Abit like the Cormoran Strike, but the story still not as strong as Robert Galbraith's.

Just finish The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery (Author). I will strongly recommend all to read this book from time to time. I will give you a different after taste when you read it at different part of your life.

a blue so dark.

The Best Advice in Six Words. Small book, but meaningful.

Days of Rage by Brad Taylor.Keeping tabs on Pike's Logan's life.

Hello Goodreads Singapore group (I hope that's who I'm contacting?) If any of you are reading my novel Olivia & Sophia, an account of Raffles' life, as seen through the eyes of his two very different wives, I'd love to hear what you think! Rosie Milne (PS new to commenting on Goodreads, if this is not the Singapore group, then apologies...)

"Done because we are too menny." The grief and tragedy in Hardy's novels are incomparable. Have you read Tess of the D'urbervilles?

currently reading Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata.

I have just read Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and now reading the sequel , Glass Sword

I'm reading this: Dragons of Winter Night.

Love the first book. It is not as complicated or dark as I thought it would be but... still a fast and exciting read.

hey there! anyone likes faith gardner's books? we can be friends :> hao ma?

she's new, so she only has one book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

looks good, think i will pick it up from the library later today. :)

I've just completed Run to Me . It was an Ok book for me, didn't wow me as much as compared to the 2nd book to the series. Will be a book recommendation to fellow readers who are into the operatives with a little action-romance type of genre ^^

Wanted to read pendragon : the merchant of death
By D J MacHale

wondering anyone happen to have this book I could loan ? not available in the library sadly

Recently just finish reading The Wish List by Jane Costello
Love it

Reading Bird Box by Josh Malerman. It is soooooooo creepy. Gonna marathon books from the horror genre these 2 mths!

I recently got an reader, so I'm devouring all new ebooks recommendations from Goodreads :D

Currently reading Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. I am halfway through and i am loving this book.

Currently reading Brannan's Run its a fast-paced thriller set in Thailand. The characters are extremely well drawn and theres a twist that you won't see coming. All in all a tremendous read.

Currently reading A Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet ( second book in the series). I am on page 29 and I just started today. All I can say is that I am hooked onto it and a definite must read for teens who love YA novels! The books add a twist to children's favourite stories such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel! It is a completely different story but simultaneously, it is still quite relatable to the stories we have read when young :)

I just finished [Sapiens - a brief history of mankind]
Now reading [the unbearable lightness of being]
So many more books pending in my list!!!

Your next books that cuts the queue is by the same author: Homo Deus , thank me later XD

Started reading [Arrivals by Ted Chiang], super interesting so far

I'm currently reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. I am at page 332 out of 510.

It's funny how I've read Da Vin Ci Code to The Lost Symbol but skipped digital fortress conveniently. The Lost Symbol lost me completely and now while reading this book, I wonder if it is worth reading Inferno.

Anyone here has read Inferno?

Charlotte wrote: "Reading Bird Box by Josh Malerman. It is soooooooo creepy. Gonna marathon books from the horror genre these 2 mths!"

thats my next then, any other good ones you'd recommend from the genre?

Just finished: Terry Prachett's Eric (hilarious, highly recommended, especially if you like his Discworld series) and Jim Butcher's Summer Knight (4th book in the Harry Dresden series - alright, but not breathtaking).

Currently reading: The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is beautifully engaging and which brings me back to Earthsea, so I'm a happy bookworm right now.

I prefer the first 3 books from Robert Langdon series. Inferno is rather anti-climatic in its ending. However, it still has all the good parts of the other 3 books, i.e. the hints connected with history and arts.

Just finished Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. It's quite Hunger-Game-ish, it has interesting concept, albeit predictable development.

Thinking of reading something by Haruki Murakami before I pick up Rick Riordan's new book or some other fantasy book in my to-read list.

Just finished reading thirteen reasons why!

Currently reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius while occasionally reading parts of the Iliad

I finished reading ACOWAR yesterday and currently reading Queen of Shadows. I'm having some sort of obsession over her books hehe.

I loved the Iliad! How are you getting on with it? Try Robert Graves, too, if you like this sort of thing.

Now reading Shinjuku Shark by Arimasa Osawa.
