I'm working on this now. It's hard work. To keep my eyes open. Usually I like what you like but I'm on page 194 wondering what could possible fill another 300 pages?
Maybe it just that it's a time, place and people I'm already familiar with. |

The most recent 5 star I've read is an older book: Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlien. I really enjoyed it!

The Hunger Games is by far one of the best books I've read in years. Just absolutely relentless. Am reading the sequel now and enjoying it, but not sure how it could match up to the original.

I've read some of the ebooks from Jacob Drake too. I'm sure it's the same author, since the titles match. I haven't read all the vampire books yet, but I have read Superion and Forever Undead and Parallels and BABES & STUDS. Great books. Five stars.

She has a new book that will be published on the 2nd or 3rd of May, in English. Kitchen was a five-star read for me, too. I've read it several times over.

I don't keep track of stars, so I'm not sure. I read popular books, so I'm sure I must have read some.

For me two memorable books over the last year.
'The White Tiger' by Aravind Adiga (the audio version is best) 'The Art of Racing in the Rain' by Garth Stein cheers |

I see lots of titles in this thread that I have read and enjoyed. The Blind Assassin, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Radium Halos and The Brief History of the Dead were all excellent.
I have Ender's Game, Last Night on Twisted River and the Rothfuss novel on my to-read list. |

The beginning of the author's blog post: What initially began as an offer to donate copies of my novel to area high schools, has now become an opportunity to share my story with thousands and potentially millions of young people across the country. I'm so happy that the author has this incredible opportunity to share the book with such a wide audience. It's a story that needed to be told, the book is an enjoyable read, and students will find the subject interesting and relevant. |
