That sounds really interesting! And a great way for indie authors to get there name out there without publishing too much free work.

I really enjoyed your review of The Memory Box. It sounds creepy and weird, in other words extremely interesting and a book I'm definitely going to look into.

But then again I think that's what makes their relationship so interesting. They are so clearly incompatible, but yet they actually love each other. A very unconventional relationship and unconventional love story.

Thanks for the help Athena! Even if you don't have exact titles, that is alright. Just knowing the author and then looking up synopses should be sufficient to finding something I like

The shelf part of the desk is all literary books. Then on the desk part I have textbooks. They wouldn't all fit on one shelf obviously. And my room is teeny tiny. Too tiny for an actual book shelf Yeah I found that there were times when I wanted to wring her neck. Not so much in TRP, but in TRE. In the first one I just didn't like certain aspects of her personality but she was also trying to date a guy who has a lot of trouble doing normal things so it was somewhat understandable. In the second book I liked her less. I agree. But then I found myself

A picture of my recent purchases. I also bought Heart of Darkness, which came today and I took the picture yesterday but forgot to post. edit: I'm hoping to post an updated picture of my school bookshelf soon

*Goes and looks this up* this sounds like something I would be really interested in. Any favorite books?

I'm amazed myself at how quickly I was able to read both. I mostly got lucky that I was at home a lot with the better library. I'm sure the library here probably doesn't have either book

Very true. I find that period of history very interesting and that period of literature even more so interesting because of the way it reflects what was happening. The modernistic view of life that it is pointless. The naturalist that feels he or she cannot stand up to the forces of nature. All of it derived from one war that changed the world. Literature is amazing like that. It not only tells the story in the novel or story, but it tells the story of the people who wrote it and the world they lived in.

And new release books are so expensive. My wallet is not very deep I'm hoping my library buys a few copies. I'm sure I can request it... I finished The Rosie Effect last night and I'm continuing where I left off with Plain Truth now.

Well I was way off So maybe that's why it isn't as good. She might have mastered her craft over the years. The one thing I like most about her books is the amount of research she does for each one. And I find that the books where there was more research involved are the books that I like better.

I thought TRE had a lot more moments that I actually laughed out loud at than TRP, which I definitely liked.

Thanks! I will definitely consider it for my next read

I'm excited for you to read it! If you liked the first one, this one will not disappoint you.

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion Summary None because it contains spoilers from the first book of the series. Opinions After falling in love with Don Tillman in the first book, I didn't think that I could appreciate and understand him anymore. I was wrong. The Rosie Effect once again shows Don trying to fit into a world that he doesn't quite understand. It's admirable how hard he tries to make things work and throughout the novel I kept feeling his pain as he tried and failed to express how he was feeling. I thought this one had a little more humor than the first. I especially found the last 1/3 of the book funny even though it was painful at times. I found myself saying "NO NO NO" as he made mistakes. I'm really just blown away at the excellent job of characterization by Simsion. Not only with Don, who is a fantastically well-rounded character that is easy to love, but with other characters too. They all culminate in a very real world that I, as a reader, appreciated. So often novels exist in such an unreal world, but I really felt like the characters in this book and the first book could have been real people. That's always a sign of a great book. One of my favorite series. I wish he would write more, but I'm not sure where he could take the story from this point. Rating

I looked this one up because I was interested and a lot of people were talking about it and it isn't available in the US as a physical book until May 12

I still haven't finished series 3. I have seen episodes 1 and 2, but it is so hard to find time to watch one hour and a half block of TV. I'm hoping to finish watching the last episode at some point... So far I've thought that there has been less crime solving in the last series than the other two. It is more about their personal lives and advancing the plot. I felt like series 1 included so much more crimes and Sherlock solving those crimes.

I have 11/22/63 checked out from the library right now, but it's so long and I'm not sure if I should read it or not. Is it really good or waste of time? Also when I think of The Shining all I can picture is how Joey on Friends keeps it in the freezer because it's too scary I haven't read any King books yet.

I would say he is number one or two on my list of tv/movie character crushes. Not just that John Krasinski is cute and awesome, but Jim the character is also perfect.

Here's a good one

I'm not sure but I think she wrote that with her daughter or something. I know one of her books if not two of them are written with her daughter

Haha how considerate. But it showed Jim's beautiful face

Which one did you abandon? Maybe I should avoid it

I didn't even know this thread existed I really liked The Giver but I don't own any of the others. I've wanted to read them though.

I really want to read Only Ever Yours as well. Can't wait to see what you think of it!
