Found it extremely informative!</p> <p>I need to get back to reading but I haven't been in the mood to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214511 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:27:42 +0000 MrsTal 1214511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Recently finished UnSouled, which was good. Allegiant, which I didn't care for at first, but after reflecting, now really liked. Code name Verity and Rose under fire, both were excellent. Now working on My Sister lives on the Mantlepiece and it seems good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214486 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 18:07:33 +0000 hellobeeboston 1214486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: bummer about Allegiant! And I LOVE Gillian Flynn's books, especially dark places!!!!! Sooo good. </p> <p>I think I am the only person to not like The Book Thief.</p> <p>Currently reading: The Elegance of the Hedgehog. A coworker lent it to me and its very interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214455 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:47:28 +0000 Mrs. Train 1214455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am reading bread and wine. My moms group is have a twice a year book club (none of us can read a book a month...sad I know) and we are getting together and making the recipes from the book. So far I really like it. It's easy short stories about her life and friends and each chapter has a recipe with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214449 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:44:34 +0000 IRunForFun 1214449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am reading The Secret Keeper, by Kate Norton, and so far it's really good! I've loved all her books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214423 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:29:36 +0000 mrs. 64 1214423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished The Husband's Secret. It was a good, quick read and I had a hard time putting it down because I wanted to know what would happen next.</p> <p>@Koolbreeze: I read it a few years ago. The movie looks really good!</p> <p>@lisa1783: I haven't but I know several people who liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214418 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:24:22 +0000 Koolbreeze 1214418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finishes The Book Thief and I loved it! I'm thinking of rereading it again already. It was so amazing. Now my SO needs to take me on a date to see the movie. Lol!</p> <p>I have like 25-30 books my mom just gave me to look through and probably read. I don't even know what most of them are off the top of my head, but I'll read anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214396 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 17:13:46 +0000 Bao 1214396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: @littlebug: :) ok thanks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214370 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:55:02 +0000 mrsjazz 1214370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: No order on the Gillian Flynn, they are not a series. But Dark Places is the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214354 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:49:12 +0000 Bao 1214354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lisa1783: never heard of that, going to look it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214350 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:47:19 +0000 littlebug 1214350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Nope, totally different stories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214349 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:47:12 +0000 mrsjazz 1214349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Yes. I LOVED Dark Places...definitely better than Gone Girl even though I liked Gone Girl (except the ending). Yes, Allegiant--I read the other two and liked them, this last one seems like she phoned it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214346 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:45:24 +0000 lisa1783 1214346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone read Eleanor and Park? It's a YA novel and I've heard good things about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214340 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:43:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1214340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just read Allegiant, and really didn't like it.<br /> To read: Mr Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore, Candy:A Century of Panic and Pleasure, The Fault in Our Stars, Skulduggery Pleasant, and The Book Thief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214337 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:41:54 +0000 Bao 1214337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: Do you have to read Dark Places before Gone Girl? I haven't read either, but is there an order? I'm alllllmost done with Book Thief, I'm hoping to knock out the last 90 pages tonight it's amazing!<br /> @mrsjazz: I'm still trying to get through Divergent, I like it but I'm not as sucked into that one as some other books I'm reading in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214332 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:39:39 +0000 littlebug 1214332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: @Cherrybee: The Book Thief is one of my favorites! Can't wait to see how they make it into a movie.</p> <p>@mrsjazz: I just finished Dark Places by Gillian Flynn and it was AWESOME. Way better than Gone Girl, IMO. And do you mean Allegiant from the Divergent series? Had you read the other ones? I liked it; I thought it ended really well! </p> <p>I recently finished The Spectacular Now and really loved it. Reconstructing Amelia was a page-turner. And The Mountains Echoed is by the same author as Kite Runner, and my favorite of his books. </p> <p>Up next on my list is Sharp Objects, now that I'm hooked on Gillian Flynn. And then I'm going to look into that Far From the Tree book that someone posted about on the boards earlier today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214323 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:38:18 +0000 Bao 1214323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: oh....ok, good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214316 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:37:09 +0000 mrsjazz 1214316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I liked it and obviously I am slightly biased since my friend wrote it. But without giving too much away in the book I would recommend reading it after you have your second baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214306 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:34:54 +0000 Bao 1214306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Harrowgate is on my list ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214293 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:27:12 +0000 mrsjazz 1214293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harrowgate (by my friend :heart: )<br /> Allegiant, trying to read it but it's sucking.<br /> Ask the Passengers, a YA novel about I found on the street (neighbors are always putting books they don't want on the sidewalk) it turned out to be good. Sort of coming of age story about a girl who went from living in NYC to a small town.<br /> The Silent Wife, MEH MEH MEH<br /> Sharp Objects, I LOVE GILLIAN FLYNN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214292 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:26:55 +0000 heartonastring 1214292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished The Silent Wife, which I quite enjoyed.</p> <p>Recently started The Lowland, by Jhumpa Lahiri. Enjoying it so far, but only about 50 pages in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214286 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:25:40 +0000 lisa1783 1214286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished reading The Leftovers which was a really good book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1214272 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:21:49 +0000 Bao 1214272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this for more suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1206093 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 16:18:33 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1206093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rules of Civility by Amor Towles about friends in the 1920s in nyc. super fast read and really good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1206064 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:42:54 +0000 Bao 1206064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: yes! All I want to do is read it but of course not much time during the day for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1206063 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:41:20 +0000 Cherrybee 1206063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I LOVED The Book Thief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-have-you-read-recently#post-1206062 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 15:39:13 +0000 Bao 1206062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished (within the past few weeks), The Fault in Our Stars which I loved, and Mr. Penumbras 24 hour book store which was pretty good too.
