book worms : what have you been reading?

[Elli21]

Ive read the whole trilogy of fifty shades, this got a 4* from me!! Although, i did think the ending was rushed and a little bit crappy though!

Before those i read the Hunger Games books too!! They were amazing and got a 5* !! I couldnt put any of them down!!

My all time favourite book would be Shadows of the Wind...Id recommend that to anyone!!

 

[LouLouBella]

*Joining this thread where i could talk for days about books*

The last books i read was 'The Hunger Games Trilogy'.
I would definitely recommend these 3. I wasn't massively impressed with the ending, slightly rushed and just ends with you feeling you need to know more but the story as a whole and the enjoyment i got from reading the books would easily give it a 4/5 verging near 5/5.

The book i am currently reading 'The Time Of My Life' by Cecelia Ahern.
(The complete opposite to 'The Hunger Games')
So far, so good. I do find her writing very easy to read.
I am a big fan of all her books and i always find myself picking up one of hers and learning something that i need to learn or be more aware of at that time in my llife. (Cheesy but true)

The Tale Of The Lunarmorte Trilogy by Samantha Young
I've always been a bit of a fantasy geek, and while the idea of vampires having children confuses me a little (HI TWILIGHT!), it's still a really good read.
From Here To Paternity by Matt Dunn
Absolytely hilarious. That's all I got there.
Harry Potter (All seven) - JK Rowling
...Need I say more?
Interview With The Vampire (Whole series) - Anne Rice

Auto/biographies for the following (This is going to tell you how messed up my taste is!):
Ric Flair
Bret Hart
Duncan Bannatyne
Theo Paphitis
Led Zeppelin
Henrik Larsson
Lubomir Moravcik (I was a Glasgow Celtic fan in the 90s/early 00s, sue me!)
Jimmy "Jinky" Johnston
Mick Foley (or rather, his books in general)

I must of been the only person on the planet that couldn't stand the Fifty Shade of Grey book, let alone read the trilogy. I thought she sounded like a 13 year old girl in the book!

As soon as I found out that the 50 Shades trilogy started out as Twishite fanfic, and heard many many reviewers say that it had the same quality of writing, I took my name off the waiting list at the library. Not gonna waste my time on that. There is some excellent, well-written BDSM erotica out there. No need to compromise writing for titillation!

I'm still reading Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness, going on 6 weeks now, the longest time it's ever taken me to read a book.

 

[Sarahkka]

I really enjoyed A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night. Harkness is a solid writer and crazy well-educated. I love the subject matter (the history of science theme, in particular) and think Harkness has done a great job of blending the fantasy story in with history and modern science. I think her weakest point is the dialogue between the two main love interests - I find that rather cliche. The rest is a lot of fun, though!

Ive just finished it and also found it slow to begin with. I carried on with it as so many people on this thread had said how amazing it was.

By the end i was completley in love with it - it was like nothing i had ever read before and i thought it was absolutely amazing!

I am now reading the help after loads of people have said how great it is on this thread!

 

[BabyJ'sMummy]

I might try The Night Circus next x

Ah good will definetely perservere. Funnily enough I have The Help waiting for me to read afterwards then a vampire based book after that lol xx

 

[ImSoTired]

I've recently read the help and the night circus and I enjoyed them both! Yes from time to time the night circus does get slow but then I really got into it and it was fantastic!

 

[Mazzy17]

I have just finished A Feast for Crows by George R Martin and am going to start on Thomas Emsons Kardinal.

Angelfallenryn.

Great book. Enjoyed it.

 

[Piggywinkle]

Just finished Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes on Kindle from a recommendation on this thread Dropped on lucky as it was 99p when I bought it and it's more than £5 now

I liked it, but it took me about ten minutes to get into the flashback/present/flashback/present chapter structure. After that it was fine. Have to say though, I was expecting a twist at the end so the only criticism I have is that it was a little predictable. If you can get it at 99p again, it'd be well worth a read.

I'm reading The Light Between Oceans by M.L Steadman. Only 12% in but I'm enjoying it so far.

MF I wanted to read that but It's not payday until Saturday

 

[mum22ttc#3]

I've just finished Fallen by Karin Slaughter, it took me a little while to get into it but once I did I really enjoyed it. Might have to order some more of her books now.

I'm just about to start 1984 now by George Orwell.

I dont know if I paid for it?? Sure it was free??

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

opps I did lol x

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I was not sure I would enjoy it but it was one I couldnt put down. I sat and read all of it and I thought half way through I would guess what would happen at the end but it was not what I thought at all. Good price for easy read. x
