    I just finished "Alice in Deadland," one of those many zombie offerings and I paid a small amount for this book. It was fairly good with a compelling story line, but I was not real happy with the ending. I did purchase the sequel though. LOL

    I'm currently between 50 shades darker and Buddhism plain and simple.

    I don't know why everyone hates on the 50 series, I personally love it.

    Ditto!

    I actually thought Darker was the best of the three.

    Currently reading Lake Caerwych by J Conrad. I think it's only available on kindle though.

    I'm reading Across That Bridge: Life Lessons and a Vision for Change by Congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis.

    Very interesting to read about the planning and training of those in the Civil Rights movement from someone who actively participated in it.

    Finishing up Fifty Shades Freed. Next book is Bared to You.

    SInce book two to the Crossfire series doesn't come out until October, you might like to give Gabriel's Inferno a try after you read Bared to You.

    Just finished the Hunger Games trilogy, in 5 or 6 days, and loved it! Looking forward to the movie adaptation of the clock arena next year. Just started The Hobbit to prep for the movie coming out in a few months. After The Hobbit, I'll probably reread Life of Pi to also get ready for the movie coming out in December. I think I am one of the few people out there that never expects the movie to be exactly the same as the book. It shouldn't be the same, otherwise you'd have to watch a 12 hour long movie and who wants to do that?

    I'm halfway through Mockingjay, the 3rd book in The Hunger Games trilogy. I am totally hooked on these books and will be kinda sad when I'm done...

    The Stand-Stephen King. Next on deck--The Shining. Stephen King has a sequel coming out to The Shining soon! :) Just one rule though---only read Stephen King during the daytime and not 3 hours before bedtime....

    I just started Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn this morning. Next up for me is Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz. Love the "Odd" series, but the last few have been graphic novels that I skipped, so I am glad to see a regular novel this time.

    Amy, thanks for the info on The Shining. I have been reading Stephen King since the 1970's, and The Shining is one of my favorites. It is good to hear he is doing a sequel.

    Just finished Alastair Reynold's Blue Remembered Earth - which I really liked. But I've loved all his books so far.....

    Currently halfway into China Mieville's Perdido Street Station - which is unbelievably wacked out and has me hooked. There are two more in the series: The Scar and the Iron Council which, on the strength of what I've read so far, I'll be tacking next. I read another of his books a few months ago: The City and The City, which is also suitably bonkers: a kind of existential crime thriller that defies explanation really, so I won't even try!

    +1 for The Shining and The Stand: two of my all-time favourites! I once baby-sat an old building scheduled for demolition. And I read the shining on a mattress on the floor by candle light. It proper wigged me out! The building was a hotel at some point in the 30's - got my imagination racing I can tell you....

    VERY good book.. had to read it for book club and am glad because I probably wouldn't have picked it out on my own!

    The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

    Third volume to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

    Good series! Hard to get into at first but stick with it it's worth it.
