Just started The Circle by by Dave Eggers. Found it on NYtimes best of 2013 list.
Before that I read The Husband's Secret by Liana Moriarty which was okay, nothing special,
and before that re-read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire.

I don't understand why people worship this book. Its ok at best. Maybe if I was younger it would appeal to me some more? Who knows.
I KNOW. I'm in the age bracket it was written for and I was so excited to read this book but it was really just a giant disappointment.
There is a thin, semantic, line separating weird and beautiful, and that line is covered in jellyfish.

Re: What are you reading right now?
I've just finished reading Catcher in the Rye and I'm thinking about going back to Revolutionary Road. I started it a few months ago, got halfway through but then got a bit lost... maybe because I genuinely HATE all of the characters. Wah.

Re: What are you reading right now?
I'm starting The Mortal Instruments series. I've been on the damn waitlist for this book since MARCH ((I won't buy a book unless I read it and enjoy it. weird, I know, but it's something I've always done)) Twice I had it on the holdshelf at my library and someone snatched it before I got there, so I finally had to call the library and ask them to hold my orders behind the desk and check my ID. Now nearly a year late I finally get to start my series lol
I've been on a 19th c. Brit Lit kick for about 6 months, so I need some Teen Fic to bring me back to the 21st century lol

How to Win Friends and Influence People
It's soooo boring. I hate books like these where they teach you things by giving you a million examples of bits of history (if that makes sense, people who've read it know). 48 Laws of Power was like that too and I couldn't finish it.
Someone who's read this book, please tell me it gets better? I can't get myself past Chapter 1 but on the other hand I heard it's such a useful life changing book

Re: What are you reading right now?
I've been on a readingcraze the last week, finished Skippy Dies, read To Kill a Mockingbird and the Ocean at the End of the Lane.
I am now reading Great Expectations for my 19th century lit course, i'm only a few chapters in but I'm not enjoying it so far.

Timebound by Rysa Walker
It's my first time travel book (time travel confuses me to no end for some reason) and it's YA. I'm not too far into it, but so far I think it's pretty interesting and nothing has annoyed me (which often happens with YA) so far!

Re: What are you reading right now?
Just finished Memoirs Aren't Fairytales It was meh. I mean, I really loved the content (I'm a sucker for an addiction story) but some of it was just sooooo unrealistic. (It's actually purely fiction, despite the confusing title)

You think a book written in 1993 is old? Wow, where has the time gone? :/GoGoYuBari wrote:Flyy Girl
An old urban book but still a classic and favorite

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.
I'm about half way through, I really like it so far!
I have so many books on my Kindle, its getting overwhelming. I've been slacking on my reading ever since I started Pokemon X.

Re: What are you reading right now?
Just read Doctor Sleep by Stephen King, I realllly enjoyed it. It was a great way to tell us what happened to Dan Torrance after The Shining and it was interesting, I'd reccommend it to anyone but read The Shining first

Re: What are you reading right now?
Allegiant .. Why is it so...boring and terrible all of a sudden? I loved Divergent and Insurgent so i don't know what happened. The main thing that bothers me is that you can read Four's perspective. It is soo... cringe-worthy. I don't know why! I had like the biggest crush on Four. it's so weird. and i'm only a few chapters so far but it just doesn't interest me.. but i have to force my self to read further .. i want to know the ending but like this third book's ratings are shitty so uhhhh
Re: What are you reading right now?
Loved Gone Girl. There was one part of that book that literally made me like jump because it surprised/startled me so much, and I don't even know why. I'm onto reading Dark Places now. Gillian Flynn is so talented! I need more books from her!Missindependo wrote:Gillian Flynn is great at making you nervous lol. I just finished reading Gone Girl a few weeks ago.

Now that I've finished Sharp Objects, I can say that the rest of the book didn't really scare me, but there was one part towards the beginning that just left me kind of creeped out.
