And what do you think of it? What books have you read recently that floored you?

I'm currently halfway through Hollow City (sequel to Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs) and absolutely love it. I just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman and, while I enjoyed it, I couldn't help but feel it was a bit over-hyped and dragged a bit.

    Captivated By You by Sylvia Day. It's a steamy romance.

    Wow really I'm reading the same thing. Actually I'm reading the first book again because it's been a while and I just got a copy of the second book

    I was tremendously disappointed with this book :( and I usually love everything by Margaret Atwood!

    Lately I have only been reading gardening books and magazines. Can't wait to get out and dig in the dirt. Only a few more months!

    I'm finally reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I decided to see what all the hype is about. I'm enjoying it, but not blown away.

    The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. It's about two sisters during WW2. It was the most fantastic book. By far my favorite since I read the Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. I know it's weird to love two books about birds. Lol. I wish I could have literary amnesia and go back and read them both again for the first time.

    I'm finishing The Aeronaut's Windlass by Jim Butcher and Three Slices by Kevin Hearne (gotta love short stories about divination by cheese). I have a long road trip coming up, so I'll probably re-read the Dresden Files novels on the way.

    Currently reading "The Hiding Place". It's a true story about a family in Holland that his Jews from the Nazi's. Just started so too early to tell how good it is.

    Keep in mind that the first novel appeals more to children - as the series progresses, the writing matures. It's a lovely story! Granted, I'm still on book 5, but still.

    Also, You is on my to-read list. I read the synopsis, though... does, indeed, seem creepy!
