Making Connections discussion

I simply can't remember the last book that made me laugh out loud the way 50 Shades has. I guess the people who are bashing it are those that don't have a true appreciation for sarcasm. There were a lot of complaints about the "inner goddess," but that really is some funny stuff.

Finished Guilty Wives - James Patterson. Now reading The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

I'm now reading Obsidian. Have to say I'm a bit disappointed with it.

I'm about 2/3 of the way thru

Do you like it?

I enjoyed all three books, but Darker was my least favorite...for the reasons you stated :)

Might these put off and read a few other books first. My daughter wasn't crazy about the first one, but bought the second one. She's usually a fast reader, but she's not whipping through that one either.

Stephanie,

Have you seen Katrina Lumsden's reviews of the Fifty Shades series? They're hilarious! You can find 'em right here at Goodreads.

My reading list for this week is: and

Just started Loved the first book so I hope I enjoy this one just as much!

I've just finished Murder Takes Time, which was really good if you like Mafia type books. I've just started The Eyes of the Desert Sand.

Saw them. They actually made me want to try the books just to see if they're that bad. And it's actually her review of Freed that makes me reluctant to read it.

Stefanie,

Well, to each, his (or her) own.

I'll say no more. I pretty much thought Katrina had said (and said it quite amusingly) for all of us.

Yup

I have finished The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins. Now I am reading Lifeblood - J. Przymus.

I still haven't seen the movie. It's on sale soon, though, so hope to rent it.

I'm reading Fifty Shades (finally). I've read a lot of "holy craps" and references to Ana flushing :) ... got to some action around p. 80 in the elevator when he kissed her. Many of my friends have read all three and say the storyline gets better (except for one friend who stopped at the first one), and I have heard mixed reviews on reactions to the sex scenes, so my curiosity is piqued :).

I've just finished , kids will probably like it. Just starting .

I have read all three as well. The story line does improve. I truly enjoyed the trilogy and laughed a lot!

Thanks. I'll have to look for those. Love dragons.

still reading Fresh Flesh but gonna be reading my new/old collection of Goosebump books!

Just finished A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick and am conflicted about it. It's beautiful and lacking and unbelievable all at the same time. Set in the early 1900s. Hmmmm....

Just started A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard and haunted by the true story of this woman who endured so much as a child into adulthood. It's written from her memory as an 11 yr old so even more poignant and awful in its detail. A story that I cant even imagine happening in real life.

I'm reading Taken at Dusk.I love these books.

I'm currently reading in paperback and in Kindle boook

Just finished Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins. Now I will read Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins.

- very good so far
- audio

just finished now to read and I bounce back and forth between kindle and physical books :)

Finished Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins. Now going to read Bared to You - Sylvia Day.

I have finished Bared to You - Sylvia Day and also read Selling My Soul: A Short Story - Rae Northlight. Now I am trying to get into The Bride Stripped Bare - Nikki Gemmell.

Gave up on The Bride Stripped Bare - Nikki Gemmell. But has found a delicious book and it's The Way You Look Tonight - Claire Matthews.

I'm just over half way thru No Crying For Elena and I've hardly been able to put it down.
