April > Recent Status Updates

I was so excited to hear about this book and I preordered it as soon as it was available for preorder. Then as it turns out I had a work trip lined up for the exact day I expected to be able to start this long anticipated book so it will remain unopened on my porch until my return. But never fear! I also purchased the ebook version as well so I will be able to start it tomorrow as planned!

I’m listening to the audio book and wow, this book is disturbing yet also beautiful so far.

I first started reading this over a year ago but then I moved and things got crazy and I didn't finish it so I started over. Gosh this book really is fantastic! The entire experience of reading it is kind of amazing and I wish I had been able to finish it a year ago. Hopefully this weekend I will he through it all!

Read this a few years ago and had the sudden urge to read it again. I think they made a movie? Not sure but I am going to look after I read this again

I'm reading this book again because I seem to remember it made me actually smile and laugh out loud. The story is so over the top and silly it's the perfect book to read today.

My last attempt to read this book was September 2011 and I was apparently too intimidated to even begin, let alone finish it. I recently noticed this had been made into a movie and I refuse to see it before I read the book so I'm trying again.

My sister gave me this book for Christmas and I'm super excited to read it. I have been using my nook for several years now and I'm stoked to hold this actual book in my hands. It's a brand new but it was made to look like an old library book. It's filled with stuff like postcards and notes and newspaper clippings. I am so excited to start it!

My sister has been telling me for months to read this so I finally decided to listen. I downloaded the sample on my nook and I was hooked. I don't consider myself a fantasy fan, but this is promising so far

I've been getting a lot of crap lately from my book loving friends because I've never read this book or the lord of the rings series. That's right, I've never read it. But now I am. So back off. :)

I know Christmas has just past, but it never hurts to keep the spirit alive. I've never read this one but I'm a huge fan of everything I've read by Dickens and it didn't become a classic for no reason.

Not sure what to expect with this one. It was recommended to me when I purchased A Clockwork Orange so I went ahead and got it. I'm anxious to give it a read.

This is one of the most violent yet mesmerizing book I have ever read so far. And the language is fascinating. It's took a few pages to catch on. I found myself having to re-read parts but already I am used to it and I love it.

The dystopian kick continues. I have never read this and I'm not sure how I managed that one. Most people read Brave New World in high school. Fortunately I was not one of them and I'm sure I will enjoy it all the more for that reason.

I've had this book on my list for well over a year and I have owned it for almost as long. I have been hesitant to start because all of the reader reviews have praised it so highly that I'm afraid of being disappointed. I'm hoping to begin and finish this book over the long weekend.

Yet another book found with help from the New York Times Book Review. It has high ratings, plus I enjoy dystopian fiction. I am looking forward to another great read
