See, it wasn't disappointment on how the story progressed for me. I just thought that the writer could do so much better. As I said, she just started telling the story instead of describing what was going on, like she did in the first two books. I feel like she rushed the release of Allegiant.
I felt like the details were rushed too, even though I did like her twist. It was hard at times to visualize it all when it is usually effortless.
I write/edit reference books for a living, and I just handed in the final draft of my latest one on Thursday, so I haven't read anything in a month or so.
However, next up for me is Wally Lamb's newest, We Are Water. He's from my hometown!!!
Currently reading Moranthology by Caitlin Moran. It's a collection of her articles which are all hilarious. Also just finished Pushkin's The Captains Daughter and Mad About the Boy by Helen Fielding. Highly recommend that one! Personally preferred it to the first Bridget Jones
Erm, I've been getting through a book and a bit each day for the last couple months. I guess I read 'The Happiness Advantage' (Shawn Anchor) today and will probably finish Gladwell's 'David and Goliath' before I go to sleep...
I'm finishing up Son by Lois Lowry. This is the 4th and final book in her series that started with The Giver almost 20 years ago. Loving it.
Also just began Vol. 1 of The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire by John Toland. My dad snagged these out of print copies and let me borrow them.
Woah! I loved The Giver in school, I had no idea there was more. I will have to find those!
On the list of books to movies that has been posted I have read around 4 of them. I seriously recommend Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand from the list. This is such an amazing story and after I was done I couldn't stop thinking about it. I read it when it first came out and am so happy to see it will be a movie, just hope it does it justice. Really so, so good.
right now I am reading 15 winter reads on my nook. Its 15 books in one from various authors. I love finding their bundles for .99 cents. I tend to read fast. The bundles are perfect for me. Right now I am on a fairy/angel/demon/werewolf/vampire/witch etc kick.

This is the second recommendation I've had for "Unbroken" -- it's now officially on my list. Did you know the main character is still living? He's in his 90's now. I also want to read "Winter's Tale." The female character in the upcoming movie is the actress who played Sybil on Downton Abbey. Loved her!
I'm starting my seventh book for the month, Rot & Ruin. I've never really read any zombie books before, so this will be a new experience. I'm sure I'll like it though.
