    I loved it! I listened to it on audiobook and it was a huge cast creating a chorus. Nick Offerman, David Sedaris, Susan Sarandon, Megan Mulally, so many great voices. It was really a wonderful story.

    I listened to the audio as well, theowlbox. It was great. I loved it, too.

    I'm now reading House of Names by Colm Toibin and am loving it, too.

    Currently reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. The movie trailers caught my attention, so I decided to read the book before it comes out.

    The Ruins by Scott Smith. I thought this one would be trash, but it's really unsettling and suspenseful.

    I just finished Silver Screen Fiend by Patton Oswalt and now I'm on to Easy Street, The Hard Way by Ron Pearlman. I read another book of Oswalt's but this one was pretty hard to get into unless you're a film nerd. (Which I am not.) I deeply love Hellboy so I'm interested to see what Ron Pearlman has to say. I saw the trailer for the Abe backstory and saw pics of that Stranger Things sherriff as the new Hellboy so I'm curious.

    Currently reading The Book Thief. I was sure that I wouldn’t like it, but I have been unable to put it down!

    I really enjoyed this one. It was fun.
    I hadn't heard there would be a movie. I'll keep an eye open. Thanks!

    Hi! Good luck, I hope you get through them all! I have never read them, should I be?! I am about to re-read The Hobbit in the hopes of finally reading The Lord of the Rings!

    Thank you! I read the first couple a long time ago and really enjoyed them. However life got in the way from me finishing the series. This time I'm going to buy copies of them as I read them, which is what I just did with Terry Brooks' Shannara series (though I haven't read the latest one that came out - I'm waiting for the softcover in February).

    If you enjoy reading fantasy books I would highly recommend reading the series. :) Here's a link for the reading order: http://terrybrooks.net/books/reading-orders/

    I'm halfway through Mother by S.E. Lynes. It was a $.99 impulse kindle purchase, but it's really good and hard to put down.

    I love a cheap kindle read for 3 hours on a sat or a weeknight of insomnia.
