However, I did find time to read the 50 shades of grey series. That will not be making an appearance on my summer reading list though!!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198501 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:19:41 +0000 MamaMoose 198501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: I was going to suggest Unbroken too!! The whole time I was reading it I just kept saying out loud "I can't believe this is a true story. I can't believe this is a true story". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198500 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:19:11 +0000 leelee 198500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you a fan of the vampire genre? If so I highly recommend Vampire Academy series. I have also heard "A discovery of witches" is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198454 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 21:06:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 198454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been reading Sarah Vowell. If you like history, she does history with a snarky take on it. I just finished Unfamiliar Fishes. She's also written The Wordy Shipmate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198390 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:45:14 +0000 matador84 198390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was a history major too. :-) masters in education and minored in history also. you will probably enjoy both books then. let me know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198324 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:29:05 +0000 mrsjyw 198324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: ooh sounds like something i'd love! i was a history major and ww2 era was my fave! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198319 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:28:03 +0000 cyneswith 198319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suppose you already read Hunger Games? Trudi Canavan's trilogy that starts with the Magicians' Guild is pretty great - much easier to get into than Game of Thrones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198318 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:27:59 +0000 mrsjyw 198318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. cowgirl: LOVED art of racing in the rain, seriously CRIED reading it. I did hear about the divergent series, so I might pick that up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198315 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:27:17 +0000 matador84 198315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i guess it depends on what you are into...i just finished 'the nazi officers wife' and it was pretty good. i read 'unbroken' last summer and it was one of the best books i have ever read. i am reading the 3rd installment of 'fifty shades...' right now. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198312 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:26:36 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 198312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>did you read and like the hunger games? the divergent series by veronica roth is similar but still excellent on its own. the first two books are out...i actually haven't read the second one yet (i'm waiting for my turn at the library!), but i am REALLY looking forward to it!</p> <p>i also loved lottery by patricia wood. it's very sweet...</p> <p>and the art of racing in the rain. SO good. it will make you love your dogs even more... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-new-book-recommendations#post-198283 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:20:15 +0000 mrsjyw 198283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've done all of the popular trilogies including the smutty 50 shades. my last two books were a thousand splendid suns and kite runner...</p> <p>i've been trying to get into the game of thrones, but haven't been able to~</p> <p>any quick easy trilogy reads that are yet to be uncovered by the greater population? </p>
