dtrpath27 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Sadly, they don't have it in the Amazon store! I thought I had seen it there...apparently not! I did download a dozen book samples, though, so hopefully I'll find something else to read. Edited March 11, 2014 by dtrpath27
Anna Begins Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I did download a dozen book samples, though, so hopefully I'll find something else to read. lol that sounds like me. I call it "shopping" lol The 100 Year Old Man Who... cant wait to see how it turns out! I'm in love with Allen already. Edited March 11, 2014 by Anna Begins
Anna Begins Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I am literally cracking up while reading this book!

pontalba Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Recommended by a few posters here, I just finished The Rosie Project. Will review later, but have to say, I loved it.
dtrpath27 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I just bought it last night. I have a nephew with Asperger's, so the story really appealed to me.

chaliepud Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 75% of my way through Sisterland and a twist has occurred that I really really didn't like.. I think this may well ruin the book for me..
dtrpath27 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I'm sorry to hear that! It's the worst when everything is swimming along, and then it changes so abruptly. I always find it so disappointing and difficult to get past when the author "goes and ruins it" like that.
chaliepud Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Definitely..maybe it will make sense when I read the rest, will let you know!
Athena Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Recommended by a few posters here, I just finished The Rosie Project. Will review later, but have to say, I loved it. x I'm glad to hear that ! I plan to read it very soon. It's great quite a few of us are reading the same book (if not at the exact same time).
chaliepud Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Finished Sisterland this morning, sad to say it disappointed me. I quite enjoyed the first 75%, then a storyline was introduced that didn't fit with the rest of the book. By the end it was like I had read two different books in one, with no satisfying conclusion for either.
geordie9 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Finished Doctor Sleep. To be honest although i enjoyed it i was expecting a lot more. One of the main things i love about Kings books are his characters & how he makes you feel like they are real but i just didnt get that from the characters in this book. Still cant wait for his next book though!!
geordie9 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Started Stephen Baxter's Proxima, seems promising so far.
green Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Almost finished Far To Go by Alison Pick,excellent novel.
dex Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I finished Foundation and Empire today, and started Second foundation.
dtrpath27 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Couldn't sleep last night, so I started reading Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay. I only got a quarter of the way through, but I'm really enjoying it so far. Such beautiful prose! I'm going to curl up with it again tonight; hopefully, I'll love it just as much in the morning.
bookmonkey Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Finished Cockroaches by Jo Nesbo and really enjoyed it. I hope my library is going to get more of this series, as so far I think they have 3.
Anna Begins Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) 80% done with The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. It's so good! I was just reelecting that the last few books I've read have been really good. Edited March 13, 2014 by Anna Begins

I'm so glad you found a series you like. Hopefully you'll be able to get the ones you need. If not, will you be able to request the others from other branches or do inter-library loan? 80% done with The 199 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. It's so good! I was just reelecting that the last few books I've read have been really good. I'm so glad you're enjoying that book; I found it to be so clever! Don't you just love it when you get on a good-book streak?

I started to read Orson Scott Card - Ender's Saga 1: Ender's Game which is good and interesting so far. I'm about half way through and look forward to read what's going to happen. I do feel that Ender seems to be written as older than he is in the story (at least for the first half of the book, that I've read).
dtrpath27 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Ender's Game is wonderful! I look forward to hearing what you think of it.
Athena Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'm glad to hear you liked it , I'll be sure to post a review once I've finished the book.
Kylie Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 I started to read Orson Scott Card - Ender's Saga 1: Ender's Game which is good and interesting so far. I'm about half way through and look forward to read what's going to happen. I do feel that Ender seems to be written as older than he is in the story (at least for the first half of the book, that I've read). I really enjoyed this, but I had the same problem with the character seeming to be much older than he actually was (it doesn't really get any better).
poppyshake Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Finished Paperboy by Christopher Fowler .. really enjoyed it. Started The Darling Buds of May by H.E. Bates ... had misgivings as I wasn't really a fan of the TV programme .. only watched a couple but it wasn't my thing but enjoying the book so far .. it's all about food .. how hard can that be to read about? .. it does make one a bit peckish though Still reading The Golem and the Djinni ... it's very good indeed.
