The Last LecturebyRandy Pausch
ok ok i know i should've waited till the book read for feb was decided but i had to read this book!
It is absolutely awesome!
I'm planning to make a list of quotes from this book, for future reference, but i have a feeling I'll be just copying the entire book down! Every line was meaningful!
Good part was i just choked ( but didnt cry :) )once when his wife whispers "plz dont die" into his ears :(
All in all, I hope your guys consider this book for the feb bookread!

Coming Home by Patricia Wilson
... Read a mills n boon after ages n realised that no longer does soppy romances like this interest me!

Hazel LOL, both the novel and the author dnt have their coverpage/pic on goodreads and u chose to display them?? Want to show how bland the book is?

:) i wanted to stick with the format! but seriously i think i'm the only one who read this one ... not a single review... Saving the authors name n not putting the first review.. since it'll be a really bad one :|

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
This book has its moments and the cartoons are kinda funny too! it is a fast entertaining read .

Dark Lover by J.R. Ward...
ummmm... reader discretion recommended! but a nice story for all the romance + paranormal fans :) if u liked twilight u'll love this series
I read it because the 8th book in the series got voted as the best romance in 2010 !

I've heard a lot about the book, though i still haven't made up my mind on whether i want to read it or not!

dunno bout u, but i'm planning to continue with the sreies... I loved the basic plot :)

hey i love to watch this Randy Pausch video...looking for it :)

Hopefully will be able to finish return of the soldier by tonight... starting just now :)

You may finish 'ROTS' leisurely. You just have to start today and begin the discussion in a couple of days time.

Im almost done with ROTS(:P) anyway... just a little more to go!

Good for you.

Hmm.. just 119 pages.. You can finish it in a go..
I finished it today :)

Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West... will update this post once our group read is over :)

7.
Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward.. This book wasnt as good as the previous two. but still nice. Especially the climax.... I love books that have a Epilogue which starts with 20 months/years later :)

I never knew J R Ward was a lady !

maybe bcoz we usually hear "J R" D Tata

lol!!

@hazel: i've a suggestion. please read Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. u will like it since u like this black dagger series. i became fan of Richelle Mead after reading vampire academy series.
i'm planning to read black dagger series.

ummm... dont read it. I have a feeling u wont like it. Its more like chick-lit!! :P

Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward
This book was so very predictable, but then again im addicted to the series! Plus-Butch is cute :)

Hazel wrote: "ummm... dont read it. I have a feeling u wont like it. Its more like chick-lit!! :P"

Hmm... i thought it's action packed book of vampires. but it's paranormal romance. yeah, i won't like it.

paranormal romance? Does that mean the romance is paranormal? LOL, Queer genre!

Aditya Shouldnt u be working at this moment?? go make some lovely greens! leave my poor books alone. :P

.Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward
*sigh* either i was not in the right frame of mind to read this book or it was just plain boring.
It irritates me when there are too many characters involved each with a different story n the author tries to juggle between all of them.

Sometimes I feel this foreign woman writers don't know anything but paranormal romance.. There are huge chunk of books available in this genre..

Never read any though.. Many girls like this genre but whenever I ask 'Will it be good to read?', they would say 'you wont like it'.. :-).. So concluded this genre is only for girls.. :-)

I prefer reading books that dont utilise too much of my grey mater :P
This "foreign Woman writer" has written books like this for ppl just like me who would prefer reading something light n breezy than get sucked into spirituality and thought provoking books. U might think Im shallow but thats how it is :)

Hazel, dont mistake me.. I didnot say this genre is bad. I can't say so as I never read even a single book in this. :-)

All I said was, 'I wonder why these people always write a lot of series in this Genre..' :-)

:-) okay

Lover Enshrined by J.R. Ward This book was more like an introduction of sorts to all the new characters that are supposed to play the lead in the sequels. The main two characters in the book -Phury n Cormia hardly had any role. Im hoping the next book in the series is more interesting.

I seriously wish J.R Ward chose better bookcovers. The books are not as bad as the covers make them look :P

Now that you say it, all covers are of people snogging each other

Meaning u didnt notice them earlier?? lol! me n my big mouth :P

.Father Mine: Zsadist and Bella's Story by J.R. Ward

It is now official the only ebooks i can read are love stories... serious books as ebooks... an absolute no-no!!
*sigh* I was actually embarassed that the only reading i did last month were romances so tried reading Prey and 1984... left them half way through. Now i think that the only way im going to finish these books(that i really found interesting) is if i have them in my hands! :)

back to the book best short story ive read in a long long time!! :)

high time i updated this thread :)

Read three books since the last time i updated, but im putting them in, in reverse order since the reason i didnt update was the fact that the next book i read was also a BDB series! (infact the next two :P)

what is BDB? and please do give your reviews. I love reading reviews (not professional ones, though)

was going to anyways. Just that i have a very bad internet connection :(
BDB= black dagger brotherhood. series

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks.

Just finished this book and though i didnt cry i think it should be made into a movie that will make me cry!!! really really nice.

Lover Mine by J.R. Ward

my favourite book of the year so far! nice n mushy!! :)

14.
.Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward

i loved the two main characters in the book. Would have been my favourite book of the series if it wasnt for the fact that the story dragged in bits and hence it took me quite a while to finish

I am not very into romance, but I have heard of this book from various sources, and am going to read it as soon as I finish my current books.

IMO ur not going to get a link to whats happening in the book unless u go throught he 7 books in the series before it :P
but go ahead. I hope you like it!!

OMG> I thought it was the first of the series.

lol!!! :)

Timeless by Alexandra Monir

It did leave me a litlle confused in parts and also i found it a lttle convenient to save or not save who u want when u want
i expected lots more from this book :([
