Loved Gone Girl, but it had more mystery and finesse. Dark Places just seemed, well, dark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2600723 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 16:33:07 +0000 winter_wonder 2600723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: Lol! I thought Josie and have were somehow going to end up together. I didn't like how entitled Meredith seemed :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2600640 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 14:44:59 +0000 erinbaderin 2600640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: I didn't like the characters! Josie I found confusing - she's the wild child disappointment who's also a first grade teacher and desperately wants a baby? And I didn't get her relationship with Gabe, I found it inconsistent. And Meredith was horrible and unpleasant and I wanted her to fall in a manhole. I thought things were introduced and dropped (Gabe's girlfriend hated her and then...didn't!) and I thought the whole ending with everybody furious at her for what happened was ridiculous. </p> <p>Sorry, that turned into a rant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2600311 Mon, 08 Aug 2016 07:43:36 +0000 looch 2600311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need some recommendations, I read only non fiction and my favorite little bookshop closed, plus the bookstore in town is now a liquor mart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2600269 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 23:43:23 +0000 808love 2600269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Non-fiction and library ebook lover here...this is what I got going on for the next week or two.<br /> Trim Healthy Mama Plan (skimming through)<br /> Patternless Sewing (just finished today and planning projects)<br /> Creating Classroom Magic (ongoing, taking forever- savoring it...work related and makes connections from teaching to Disney)<br /> I'm going to start Raw, Vegan, Not Gross next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2599947 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 17:11:00 +0000 meredithNYC 2599947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Oh, I ❤️ Brooklyn!

I am liking it better than the first Outlander book for sure. I want to watch the series! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2599767 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 07:42:50 +0000 Silva 2599767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently read The Girls, and while I wouldn't call it 5 star it was really well written, fun to read, and thought provoking for me.</p> <p>Now I'm reading the girl with the dragon tattoo, which I somehow still hadn't read after all this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2599765 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 07:40:00 +0000 Pancakes 2599765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@csross217: Oh dear, I did not like Dark Places at all. When I was done, I wished that I had never read it, to be honest. Way too graphic for my tastes.</p> <p>I just finished Liane Moriarty's new book, Truly Madly Guilty. It was just okay. I didn't care for it as much as some of her other books. I picked up The Hypnotist's Love Story for another light pre-bedtime read, but I'm not far enough along to make a judgment yet. I'm hoping to finish The Nightingale next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2599748 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 07:01:05 +0000 erinbaderin 2599748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: I'll be interested to hear what you thought of it! I've liked all her previous books but I hated this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2599709 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 01:28:35 +0000 lemondrop 2599709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slogging my way through After You. Ugh, can't get into it, I cruised through Me Before You and loved it! May take a break for the new Harry Potter, but mostly I read for 30 seconds before drooling and snoring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2599686 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 21:44:23 +0000 winter_wonder 2599686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Comes First by Emily Giffin.

It gets confusing to keep track of who is who in the book also. But I got far enough in that I couldn't put them down either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2598717 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 15:01:11 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2598717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: They're completely seperate so feel free to read ToG whenever you get a chance. But after you read ACOTAR, make sure you read book two - A Court of Mist and Fury. It's stunning. Have you checked out the author's Pinterest account? She has boards for the fan art for the books and let me just say - fangirlsquee!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2598712 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:57:47 +0000 Bao 2598712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: I LOVED Room!

I haven't read it yet, though. I have her other series sitting on my goodreads to read shelf, I have so many other books to read first! So do the two series intertwine? Or does it not matter which series of hers is read first? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2598697 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:51:20 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2598697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: It. Is. Amazing. I am seriously in love with the author and I actually started by reading her other series before this one. Her other series is newer, A Court of Thorn and Roses, and after reading her second book in -that- series I had to have more. I hate cliffhangers but they're such good cliffhangers :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2598685 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:46:41 +0000 Bao 2598685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: I want to read that series! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whatcha-reading#post-2598682 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:45:29 +0000 csross217 2598682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn. Almost finished. It isn't bad, but I liked Gone Girl and Sharp Objects by her better.</p> <p>Also, Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child.
