Now with my Kindle, though, I'm finding it harder to remember to go get them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-58011 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:43:30 +0000 Alivoo01 58011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Hunger Games triology was the last book I read. Loved it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57997 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:28:52 +0000 sslm 57997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember, but since Christmas I decided to read more. So now I have two books on the go, Emma by Jane Austen, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (which I'm reading for the 2nd time, read all three last year!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57995 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:27:03 +0000 MaisyMay 57995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Francine Rivers is such a good writer? Do you also read Karen Kingsbury?<br /> I read a lot as it is what relaxes me, but I haven't read anything GOOD lately. :( Definitely nothing worth posting about.</p> <p>I'm also on goodreads.com! I'd love to see what y'all are reading! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57904 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:56:53 +0000 Modern Daisy 57904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently reading Wolf Hall and prior to that it was gone with the wind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57885 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:35:19 +0000 Adira 57885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscheesefries: Sent you an add friend request! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57880 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:30:47 +0000 mrscheesefries 57880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Feel free to add me!

I am currently reading George R R Martin's 'A Song of Ice &amp; Fire@ series. I have ploughed through A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings. Just getting into A Storm of Swords now. So, so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57869 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:24:34 +0000 Adira 57869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscheesefries: LOVE goodreads. All the books I've read recently came from suggestions from people I follow there. My goal is 20 books this year (though I've already read 7, so I think I'll need to update my goal). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57864 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:18:21 +0000 mrscheesefries 57864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are any of you on Goodreads? It's a great place to keep track of what you read/want to read, as well as where you can start online book clubs and get recommendations. I am a big fan.</p> <p>I just finished Bossypants (Tina Fey) and I am almost finished with Omnivore's Dilemma (Michael Pollan). I think I am going to start the Redwall (Brian Jacques - YA) series next. </p> <p>My goal is 35 books this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57858 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:09:57 +0000 sunshine44 57858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder if we could start an online book club. It seems most of us are reading similar books! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57857 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:09:08 +0000 sunshine44 57857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished The Pact by Jodi Picault - the same author of My Sister's Keeper. Its a wonderful love story with an awesome twist. I'd definitely recommend it! Next up is Girl with Dragon Tattoo and Kill Alex Cross. So excited! I gave up on parenting books after my dd turned 3months because I was becoming so paranoid with milestones and everything she ought to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57800 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:04:10 +0000 heffalump 57800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is sad, I don't remember it's been so long! My mom bought me a book about how to raise a Jewish baby, just haven't had time to start it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57795 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:57:57 +0000 PearlBee 57795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read "American Wife."</p> <p>Now, I'm re-reading Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. Good even the third time through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57750 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:34:38 +0000 JessicaMcB 57750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished "Mockingjay" the last book in the Hunger Games series pretty recently and am currently reading "The Room" (and am dying to pick up "The Virgin Cure").</p> <p> I LOVED the whole Hunger Games series. As in, I read all three in two days and refused to sleep until I had a book completely finished. I am now dying to see the film when it comes out in March. </p> <p>The Room I am not so crazy about, its won several awards but it strikes me as being kind of similar to soap-opera writing. It also takes a lot from the Elizabeth Smart story IMHO.</p> <p>Has anyone read the "Virgin Cure" yet? I've heard it's amazing, but I didn't enjoy the "Birth House" so I'm not sure if I'll like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57734 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:26:09 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 57734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished 'The Birth House' by Ami Mackay and 'A Discovery of Witches' by Deborah Harkness. Both were FANTASTIC - I definitely recommend that you go pick them up. Today's my day off...and I've started reading A Discovery of Witches for a second time.<br /> On vacation last week, I re-read the Hunger Games series, and now I've gotten DH hooked, too. There's just something about YA fiction that makes me happy.<br /> Has anyone read 'The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie'? Its on my list, but I don't want to buy it if its no good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57717 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:10:59 +0000 edelweiss 57717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just finished "when you are engulfed in flames" by david sedaris. he is so clever and funny, and really interested in human character and absurd situations (or at least absurd trains of thought). there were also some poignant moments as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57643 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:11:24 +0000 lavender 57643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Another good couple of reads that I recently read was Girl in Translation and The Piano Teacher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57640 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:05:54 +0000 MrsBrewer 57640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crash806: I just looked up How to Become and American Housewife, and that book sounds really good!

I read 'Dilerium' &amp; 'Before I Fall' both great books! Delirium reminded me of The Hunger Games in the setting/goverment control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57624 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:50:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 57624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: You'll have to tell me what you think of both series! both are great in different ways! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57609 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:44:37 +0000 MrsBrewer 57609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Wow, sounds pretty good!

Need to actually open the first one when LO goes to sleep tonight and forget about TV </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57602 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:41:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 57602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: In a nutshell, it follows a girl who has to compete in the "Hunger Games" in a post USA world. Each district (state) has to send a boy and a girl into the Games to fight to death until there is only 1 person left standing. </p> <p>There is also a love story/triangle that goes on. It sounds violent, but most of the violence is done in the background, it's more the story of survival with a slight love story as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57597 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:37:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 57597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: What is it vaguely about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57594 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:36:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 57594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: SOOO good! I was a little hesitant at first, but I could not put them down and just wanted to find out what happened! Which is why I'm going to read them again, to actually enjoy the story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-is-the-last-book-you-read#post-57591 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:30:59 +0000 MrsBrewer 57591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessiejo17: Ohhh Hunger Games is the next trilogy I'm going to read! </p>
