message 11: by Carlos (new)

Carlos (encore) 5 stars


message 12: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle must be good...


message 13: by Steve (new)

Steve Morris Black (with a green cover)certainly seems like a popular book with some good reviews, including those from a Christian angle. What is the Christian connection with the book? It sounds an intriguing read.


message 14: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle It has a green cover?! Haa

Oh Nicolle; I have that to read. I got it be because I'd just finished reading the Harper Connelly series by Charlaine Harris. Look them up if you haven't seen them. They are very good!

Nicolle Ok, I will.

Finished The Body Finder and it was one of the best books I've read in ages.

Nicolle I actually forgot about this group after no posts had been recieved for a while!

Also Thomas I have a bone to pick with you...you promised I would be the first in the UK to read your book and I haven't heard from you in ages...:O


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Watership down...U all must read it...I think it will become one of my favorites!!


message 26: by Julia (new)

Julia | 34 comments Hey, if you like epistolary novels, you should certainly check out Felling Sorry For Celia by Jaclyn Moriarty, it's great!


message 27: by Breanna (new)

Breanna McDowell (bre_mcdowell89) | 10 comments I read this book in high school and loved it!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky


message 28: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle Isn't that about Autism??


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Asperger's...I really want to read this...My Girlfriends little boy was diagnosed with this at the beginning of the year...


message 30: by Breanna (new)

Breanna McDowell (bre_mcdowell89) | 10 comments Yeah..it's really good. It's basically just about the hardships of an anti-social teen. I found it to be inspiring when I was a teenager going through my "teen-angst" phase. lol


message 31: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle Sounds great, will add to my to-read list.


message 32: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle Is it the one by Max connelly??

I'm Stuck on what to read next, i have too much choice. But i'm sure i'll find something by the end of the day!


message 35: by [deleted user] (new)

I hate when that Happens Rain!! I always have to know what I am going to read next!!! I hope you found one alright!!!


message 36: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Whytock | 65 comments Mod
Yeah, i think i'm going to read A Bone to Pick (Aurora Teagarden Mystery, #2) by Charlaine Harris . I love Charlaine Harris, and this is a nice couple hundred pages long. Short little mystery. I'll see if i can finish my current read off first, i'm useless at reading more than one at a time as the most exciting always gets read first and the other doesn't tend to get picked up again. =O


message 37: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle I didn't know that Charlaine Harris had another series (aside from Sookie Stackhouse I mean).


message 38: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Whytock | 65 comments Mod
Oh she has a few. My favourite being the Harper Connelly series. About a girl who's struck by lightning and is able to sense where dead people are burried. Rather strange but very very good.

I've been picking this book up all summer while I was in the bookstore and reading the blurb on the back. I finally bought it last week...Chapters/Indigo was having a "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" sale and I grabbed it, along with a Jamie Oliver cookbook and two books of crochet patterns I really wanted.


message 40: by Cassi (new)

Cassi | 1 comments I love memoirs, especially ones like Popsicle Toes by Anne Vitasek and Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter. I was wondering if anyone had read those and can make a suggestion of any books similar to them?

Thanks!


message 41: by Colleen (new)

Colleen (herebebookwyrms) I like reading memoirs, too, Cassi! The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls was pretty good, and Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen is one of my favs. I also liked Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi.


message 42: by Jill (new)

Jill (jillelise) Memoirs for me too! I'm reading Lit: A Memoir right now...I'm enjoying it more as I go along. I haven't read either of yours, Cassi...but I'll have to check them out. Loved Girl, Interrupted. Have you guys read Boy Alone: A Brother's Memoir. LOVED this book!

Haha, I just realised I spoke about Charlaine Harris' book earlier in the thread, back in January. You mentioned 'The Body Finder' haha.
They still are a fantastic read, I have The Body Finder somewhere, but I was leaving it a while as they seemed to be very similar books.


message 44: by Nicolle (new)

Nicolle I think The Body Finder is a fab book.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Watership Down is a fantastic book.....sorry Nicole had to do it one more time!!!!


message 46: by Julia (new)

Julia | 34 comments I wanted to ask about the Shiver, is it any good?


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

I enjoyed it very much. I also liked Ballad by the same writer but the pain level is rough.

Shiver

Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie

She Walks These Hills
