Adding those to my list (which is 80+ books long right now but I bet those are quick reads which will move them up!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1577272 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 11:09:57 +0000 Beehive 1577272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: @Bookish: Yes, I think it did just win the Pulitzer! I couldn't stop reading it, I went to bed much too late several nights because I didn't want to put it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1577262 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 11:03:18 +0000 twodoghouse 1577262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: Ohhh good to know!

I'm finishing my third re-read of Finnikin right now! For YA fantasy I also really like Kristin Cashore's novels and The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1577250 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 10:55:58 +0000 Bookish 1577250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woohoo! Thank you, fellow bookworms! </p> <p>@Beehive: That won the Pulitzer, right? I suppose that makes it worth checking out! </p> <p>@theotherstark: You have good taste in books! Thanks for the 'quicker than game of thrones' suggestion! I love those books but I don't have a month to read them :p</p> <p>@debbiei8: I LOVE The Lunar Chronicles! The 3rd one just came out and I NEEED it! </p> <p>@shellio: I need to re-read The Stand at some point! Have you ever read his Dark Tower series? I &lt;3 them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1577141 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 10:02:09 +0000 cascademom 1577141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not young adult, but really cute. I recommend "Vintage" by Susan Gloss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1577138 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 10:00:41 +0000 Beehive 1577138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finished The Goldfinch and loved it.

My goal is to read 52 books this year and the last few I've read were huge duds...excited to have a renewed list after reading this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576986 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:57:53 +0000 theotherstark 1576986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have to read the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss! So good! And much quicker than the Game of Thrones books (although I recommend those too :) ). </p> <p>Not sure if you've read <b>The Night Circus</b>, but I loved that book as well. </p> <p>Anything by Sophie Hannah or Tana French (mysteries). </p> <p>Have you read Neil Gaiman's <b>The Graveyard Book</b>? </p> <p>And if you're interested in YA, I liked Kristin Cashore's <b>Graceling</b>. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576978 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:55:19 +0000 bookwormmama 1576978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read the Legend series? I LOVED it...such a good YA distopian.</p> <p>Another great YA series is The Lunar Chronicles. They are sci fi novels with fairy tale storylines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576967 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:50:40 +0000 septca 1576967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My latest reads:</p> <p>- Divergent series<br /> - Shadowlands series (annoying because book #3 doesn't come out until August)<br /> - latest Nora Roberts novel, The Collector<br /> - the History of Witches series (book #3 comes out in July) - LOVE </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576929 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:33:13 +0000 delight 1576929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: have you read any Val McDermid books? She does murder mystery/detective books. I love her stuff. Her book, A Place of a Execution, is a good one to start with if you haven't. It's a stand alone novel. A lot of her other books are in series. </p> <p>@Bookish: have you read The Book Thief? I always recommend as it's my favourite book ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576909 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:24:59 +0000 Adira 1576909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: Oh my gosh, Unwind is such a disturbing but interesting story!!! The premise is sooooooo... creepy?? But I really enjoyed the book!</p> <p>Here are some good ones (all young adult):</p> <p>Genesis by Bernard Beckett<br /> Uglies series by Scot Westerfeld<br /> Everneath series by Brodi Ashton<br /> The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson<br /> Angelfall by Susan Ee<br /> Sanctum by Sarah Fine</p> <p>And if you like fantasy:</p> <p>A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones is book 1)<br /> Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (The Eye of the World is book 1)<br /> Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss (The Name of the Wind is book 1)<br /> Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks (The Way of Shadows is book 1)<br /> Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings is book 1)<br /> Elantris by Brandson Sanderson </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576830 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 07:47:16 +0000 blackbird 1576830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuff by Jonathan Maberry :) Patient Zero, The Dragon Factory....so good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576818 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 07:43:09 +0000 JerricaBenton 1576818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I'll finish it! I was definitely liking it up to that point, I just lost the motivation! It doesn't help that I'm usually reading more than one book at a time, so the most exciting wins out :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576591 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 21:52:52 +0000 SweetiePie 1576591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Yes! I really liked it. But I guess that still doesn't mean that everyone will :-) I really liked how everyone's lives started weaving together.<br /> I also just started "Hidden" by Catherine McKenzie. So far so good, but I'm only a few chapters in. </p> <p>You know which one everyone loves but I lost interest in pretty quickly? Gone Girl. I'm sure its very good but for some reason it didn't suck me in. I need to be sucked in early in a book...like in the 1st chapter or else I lose motivation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576328 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 20:10:17 +0000 JerricaBenton 1576328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: I love murder mysteries! I read Case Histories by Atkinson and enjoyed it - do you have any favorites of hers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576321 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 20:07:14 +0000 JerricaBenton 1576321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. I'm only halfway through but I'm really enjoying it! </p> <p>@SweetiePie: I started that book but kind of lost interest after the 'reveal.' Is it good after that? I still have it on my nightstand after months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576217 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 19:23:25 +0000 SweetiePie 1576217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read The Husbands Secret by Lianne Moriarty (sp?). It was phenomenal.<br /> It's not in the genres that you usually like, but it's soooo good! I've been telling everyone about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576098 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 18:50:31 +0000 shellio 1576098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second Ender's Game. I will have to look at Garlic and Sapphires - sounds interesting! </p> <p>I read These Is My Words which is historical fiction and LOVED it, everyone I have told about it has also loved it. Even DH read it and loved it :) Highly recommend! </p> <p>I recently re-read The Stand, by Stephen King, horror/post-apocalyptic. I loved it as a teenager and loved it again a couple months ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576039 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 18:23:53 +0000 lady grey 1576039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @knittylady I enjoyed Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, haven't read any of her other stuff yet though.<br /> Reading Goldfinch by Donna Tartt right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576034 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 18:21:31 +0000 prettylizy 1576034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm considering Garlic and Sapphires: the secret life of a critic in disguise. It's written by a NYT food critic about her life in disguise reviewing restaurants and sounds pretty clever and funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576027 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 18:18:30 +0000 Ginabean3 1576027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: try Lars Kepler and Rosamund Lupton! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1576000 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 18:01:36 +0000 Meridian 1576000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Ooh, good to know! I will have to pick them up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1575994 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 17:55:44 +0000 Bookish 1575994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meridian: Ender's Game was my favorite book for years! I highly recommend the sequels as well. There are two branches you can read, one is more sci-fi/political thriller and the other more fantasy/philosophical. Both good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1575985 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 17:50:33 +0000 knittylady 1575985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: Ah! Don't want to threadjack, but do you have any you love that I didn't list?? I'm dying to find more/branch out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1575936 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 17:14:35 +0000 Ginabean3 1575936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: um, we are totally the same person! Love all those authors....have not read Jane Casey though, will give her a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-should-i-read-next#post-1575873 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:31:47 +0000 mrs. 64 1575873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you read Unwind by Neal Shusterman? I read it a few years ago and it was very good and discussion oriented for my book club. Since I read it there are 2 more books in the series that I haven't gotten to yet and they are also making a movie. </p>
