I finished The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty last week. It was okay, but nothing special. I'm reading The Orphan Master's Son right now, and it's really good!
What did you read last? I need to put a book in the hopper for when I finish!
-
I just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness! It was a lot better than I was expecting!! And now I'm reading Lover Unleashed by J.R. Ward - love my paranormal romance books!
-
I just read Divergent yesterday. In one day.
I usually don't go for super popular books, but I got hooked.
-
@Mrs. Polish: Love that series! I am unashamedly a YA series lover!
-
@Weagle: I'm starting #2 right now. I didn't read Hunger Games and was deeply disturbed by the movie, so I didn't expect to enjoy this for some reason. Loved it though.
-
@Mrs. Polish: @Weagle: I JUST finished Allegiant the other week!!! I hope you enjoy the series, @Mrs. Polish!!
-
I read The Orphan Master's Son a few weeks ago; it was so good! Now, I'm kinda into North Korea, so I just read Escape from Camp 14 by Blaine Harden (which is the true story of the only known person who was born in a North Korean labor camp who has escaped) and next up is The Aquariums of Pyongyang by Kang Chol-Hwang (which is about a guy who escaped from a labor camp after spending ten years there as a political prisoner).
On the side, I'm also reading The Clan of the Cave Bear by Kean M. Auel. It's an epic series about a little girl who is adopted into a prehistoric clan after an earthquake kills her family.
-
I'm reading insurgent right now so I can read Allegiant that I've borrowed from my mom!
-
The past few weeks I've read Wonder, The Fault in our Stars, The Book Thief and I'm working on Divergent which I actually started over the summer but I'm now just getting around to finishing. I love YA books and attempted the lightning thief but I don't think I was in the mood for that type of book because I couldn't focus on it.
-
I most recently finished The Given Day by Dennis Lehane (shutter island, mystic river) and the second book of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first, which I picked up in a pile of free books set out on the curb.
Currently reading and recommend 12 years a slave by Solomon Northup and Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity by Andrew Solomon. Really really good so far.
-
Exit papers from paradise by Liam card. I wasn't a huge fan. It was for book club.
-
I read Dan Brown's Inferno while on bed rest.
-
I just read The Secret Garden over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Now I'm reading Pride and Prejudice.
-
Finally finished Ina May's Guide to Breastfeeding. Loved it! I think I've filled my little head with as much info on childbirth and breastfeeding as I can. I'd like to get back to reading normal books. Lol
-
I started hte book club book, but now I'm trying to locate my Kindle that my LO has decided to hid from mommy. I need to pull the couch out to see if she decided to hid it under there!
-
The last one I finished was the book club book, Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Book Store. Loved it! I'm just starting next month's book, Book Thief.
-
Just finished Carrie by Stephen king. Good, quick read!
Reading more SK with the gunslinger.
-
I recently read Catching Fire again. I'm about to start Ender's Game. My BIL gave me a copy. He said he really loves the Ender series. I'm excited to read it!
-
The Fault in our Stars. What a tear jerker!
-
Defending Jacob - I liked it!
-
@Leialou: my husband loves the ended series and we have about 8 of the novels! I want to start it too.
-
Transatlantic by Column McCann - he is a writing genius! His book, Let The Great World Spin is probably the most amazing book I've read - and I read a lot!
-
The Elegance of the Hedgehog.... Very good!!!
-
@Honeybee: I finished The Orphan Master's Son last night. So good! And now DH is so tired of me talking about North Korea
We're watching the documentary about James Dresnok in the next few days.
-
The Reason I Jump... really fascinating book by a thirteen-year-old kid with autism.
-
@Running Elley: Book Thief kindle version is currently selling for $2.49 on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Book-Thief-Markus-Zusak-ebook/dp/B000XUBFE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385785668&sr=8-1&keywords=book+thief - it's such a great book. I was tempted to buy it even though I already have the paperback version.
-
@mrbee: I just heard about that one a few days ago. I'm adding it to my list!
-
@yerpie110: Oooh I just bought this book today because it's also majorly discounted on Amazon today! It looks really good.
Loving this thread because I need book ideas…
The next book on my to-read list is And The Mountains Echoed… Kite Runner is my favorite fiction book so I have high expectations for this one!
-
@Weagle: my husband keeps asking if I'm doing research so we can defect to North Korea, since it's the land of plenty.
I haven't heard of the documentary on Dresnok? What's the name of it?
-
@Mrs. High Heels: I love these threads too I can never have too many recommendations for books!
-
@Honeybee: It's called Crossing the Line. Hopefully it's good!
-
@Weagle: thanks, I'll have to check it out!
-
@Mrs. High Heels: you'll love it!!
-
Great list...I hope I can find some of these at the library!
