It seems like you have similar taste to mine in books :) I just read Matched and Certain Girls ( a while ago).

I loved:
- Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness-Kami Garcia
-Skinned Trilogy-Robin Wesserman
-Before I fall and Delirium-Lauren Oliver
-Hunger Games-Suzanne Collins
-Going Bovine-Libba Bray
-Anything Ellen Hopkins
-Anything Stephen King....

Right now, I am reading: Forever-Maggie Stiefvater and next is Discovery of Witches-Deborah E. Harkness (which I already started).

Just finished The Third Victim by Lisa Gardner and will start another one by her later today.

Thank You SOOOO Much!!!

I live in a tiny town with a CRAPPY library!!! I have a list of authors and every week I go in and make requests...It is sooo funny!! I am going to take your list in and see what I can get...I will be extremely surprised if anything comes up... Lately I have been buying used books and then donating them to the library...That is how absurdly crappy it is...

JOLINA 08-20-2011 01:33 PM

You can always order books to be sent to you for pick-up at your local library.

:book2:

I am currently reading a little-known book by Daniel Defoe: A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR
It was written in the early 1700's. He is a very famous oldtime author who survived the Black Plague. He also wrote SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON.

A JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR is also in the internet for everyone to read:

:comp:

On another note: There will be a new movie CONTAGION coming out in early September starring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet and Jude Law. WOW!
This thriller deals with a new upcoming plague that might hit sometime in the next 50 years...
I am going to go see this one for sure.
The Trailer:

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST,
FOR THEY ARE STICKING TO THEIR DIETS.

you are in luck! There is a thread for what are you reading EVERY month! :)

sheshalesha 08-20-2011 07:10 PM

Jolina-- I do...I request books every week. I requested a book in June and it still hasn't come in yet. That is why if I really really want to read it, I will just go to a used book store and buy it, then donate it. I love my library..it does have a very poor selection of books, but it has the NICEST people and BEST kids reading hour...so I make due with what I have available and help their selection grow as often as my budget will allow...

sheramama~ WhooHoo...I just checked out Discovery of Witches-Deborah E. Harkness...I will start it soon :)

sheramama 08-20-2011 07:42 PM

Sheshalesha: I feel the same way about our local library. It's small, but the people there are amazing. I won't go anywhere else bc of it :)

Those are some of my fav books lately, though I really was a bit disappointed with the last one. AND they are making a movie! I just hope its better than Twilight.

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson ~ easy reading but really effective

Emma by Jane Austen. I'm working on a goal of reading all of her published work. This will be the fourth I've read and loved all of them!

alinnell 08-24-2011 09:32 AM

The Next Accident by Lisa Gardner. Very good! I thought I knew who it was, now I'm not so sure. Half way through and hope to finish in a couple more days so I can start the next one by her.

Glory87 08-24-2011 03:19 PM

Been reading like crazy lately - you can always check out my booklist on Good Reads! http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1035707?shelf=read

Just finished:
Unbroken - unbelieveably harrowing, actually difficult to read

Currently reading Beauty Queens by Libby Bray. It's a little too farcical for my usual taste, but it is pretty funny.

alinnell 08-24-2011 09:47 PM

Okay, finished The Next Accident and started on the next one in that series The Killing Hour. So far so good, the story continues with the daughter of the FBI agent from the past two books. It's old, set in the 70's or 80's but still relevant.

LongTallBee 08-25-2011 12:57 PM

Glory87: I've been stalking your list and added so many books to my "to read" list. I love your taste in books!

I'm in a trashy romance novel rut right now, and I've been needing something good to get me out of it!

I've just started book 1! It's really good so far :)

April Snow 08-25-2011 02:56 PM

I think I have similar tastes to sheramama and sheshalesha.

I just put Matched and the two by Lauren Oliver on my request list at the library (I love being able to do that online!)

Some YA fiction lately is just SO good- more creative than a lot of adult fiction, it seems.

ANOther 08-25-2011 04:54 PM

Now: 2030 by Albert Brooks

On deck: in honor of 09.11 + 10 years (that long already??) I have The Submission by Amy Waldman and Where Men Win Glory by Jon Krakauer

CanadianCutie 08-28-2011 11:38 AM

Just finished An Abundance of Katherines by John Green, and now on to The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly. I saw the movie when it was out in the theaters and enjoyed it, so now I decided to read the book.

FrouFrou 08-28-2011 03:23 PM

FINALLY finished the funeral book, ugh...so boring but very informative. Definitely would have helped last time I had to plan a funeral...pretty sure I got ripped off. Anyway...starting Smokin' Seventeen later today and after that The Help. Wanted to read the book first before seeing the movie but ended up seeing the movie with daughter and DIL...movie was awesome, we loved it! Hoping the book is as good, I've heard it is.

djs06 08-28-2011 03:38 PM

I'm reading Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. It's so good!

The book is better! But they did a really good job with the movie and I think it's almost as good. :)
