Unraveled - Gena Showalter

Lots of YA lately, dont judge me :blushing:

The publishing industry classifies books as YA based on the ages of the main characters. It has nothing whatsoever to do with quality. There are so many absolutely amazing YA books out there. No judging necessary. :-) I would, however, judge if you said you loved 50 Shades. I know I'm not supposed to and it's mean, but THOSE are terrible books. I'm sickened they were ever published! lol

If you loved "The Book Thief", do yourself a favor and go see the movie. It's a wonderful adaptation of the book and the girl who plays Liesel lights up the screen. Take your Kleenex, the last scene is beautiful, but definitely brings on the tears.

I wanted to see that so badly, but I was super busy while it was in theaters and never made it. :-( I hope it hits the cheap theaters so I can see it there. Also, About Time, That came out smack in the middle of my having to deal with two deaths in my family, so I missed it.

I'm now reading The Fellowship of the Ring and The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic, which was a random pick. Good concept and it has its merits, but I am more and more getting the feeling I'm overall not going to like it.

Also, I'm reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to my fiance because he doesn't like reading for himself and I think there are just certain books everyone should read one way or another! But I've already read that one several times.

Merry Christmas Alex Cross by James Patterson

Just picked up the Fast Diet by Dr. Michael Mosley and plan to start that tonight.

Manson in his own words

Very good so far!

I just finished Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight. It was really good.

I'm reading "The Laughing Corpse" by Laurell K. Hamilton. Just started reading this series over winter break and love it so far!

"Bully Pulpit" (Taft/Roosevelt) Doris Kearns Goodwin
"Praying God's Word" Beth Moore
..............and I need to re-read "The Pleasure Trap" by Dr. Lisle

'Whisper' by Isabel Abedi (Lithuanian translation).

I am just starting Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn I hope it is as good as everyone says it is

I was terribly disappointed by it. I couldn't connect with any of the characters. I didn't care what happened to it and I would bet every last dime I have that Flynn's favorite novel growing up was Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier because it's basically the same story with a few tweaks. And not done nearly as well.

I feel the same- not a fan of Gone Girl at all, struggled to finish it.

I was in the grocery line one day and skimmed an interview with Cindy Crawford. I've always kind of liked her because of her genius IQ and all of that. And then she said she was reading this book and how great and suspenseful it was and I thought, "She can't be THAT smart." lol

Just finished Fall of Giants by Ken Follett which was very good if you like historical fiction --takes place during WWI so it helps to brush up on WWI history before you read it. Fascinating time in history. I learned a great deal which is a huge bonus when reading fiction.

Now I am reading Hemingway's, The Old Man and the Sea.

I'm reading the Divergent trilogy since there's been so much talk about it.

It's ok, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone.


I've had Game of Thrones sitting on my shelf for a year now - hesitant to dive into that world!

This Is How You Die - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17970395-this-is-how-you-die

I've moved on to The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Les Miserables is one of my favorites, so I have high hopes.

John Grisham's Sycamore Row - Very engaging so far.
