Isandriena Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) I am just going to add what books I read in 2012. I'm not going to do the genre challenge as I don't want to read books that I wouldn't ordinarily read because I know I won't enjoy them and I don't want to waste my time reading something I don't enjoy. Reading is after all, all about enjoyment. I probably won't read that many, but maybe someone will be interested in what I actually read. Below I will write what books I currently need to read and what I thought of each book as I finish reading them. Destined - PC Cast (read) 5/5 Divergent - Veronica Roth (read) 41/2/5 - it started off really well but I couldn't give it a full 5/5 because I didn't like it as much as I reas the last few chapters but it was still a very good book. The End of My World - Emma Jackson (read) 5/5 - heartbreaking true story of a girl who was raped by Asian men she believed to be her friends. So sad. But it was really well written. The Unremarkable Heart - Karin Slaughter Alchemist's Secret - Scott Mariani A Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin The Redbreast - Jo Nesbo The Facebook Killer: Part One - M. L. Stewart (read) 5/5 - this book was amazing, it was only 99p I think on iBooks and I didn't really think it would be that good a book, but as soon as I had finished, I had to start the second book immediately. The Facebook Killer: Part Two - M. L. Stewart (read) 5/5 - I loved this book, it was very gripping and I loved how it ended. Both books I highly recommend. Death Notice - Todd Ritter (read) 5/5 - I loved how this book got me to really think about who it was that was committing the murders, at different times in the book I thought it was someone then changed my mind, as there was so many people it could be and I thought this book was excellent. Vicious Circle - Todd Ritter (read) 4/5 - didn't feel that this book was as good as his other book, but it was still really good. He's a recommended author.

Isandriena Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Any suggestions on what books to read? I like crime ones mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 You may have already read them but if not then I would recommend the Stieg Larsson trilogy. If you fancy something with a bit of a different take the crime angle then Fatherland by Robert Harris may be worth looking at. Its set in a post war Germany as if Hitler had won the war and features the murder of a young recruit. Recently I've also read The Savage Altar by Asa Larsson which was an enjoyable read. I look forward to seeing what you think of The Redbreast, as I've just bought a copy myself but haven't got round to reading it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isandriena Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks! I'll start reading Redbreast soon, and let you know what I think. I haven't read of the books you suggested so I might just have to give them ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Isandriena, that Facebook Killer; didn't it get made into a film? At any rate I saw a trailer that seemed to be about the same thing. Oh I second the recommendation for the Stieg Larsson books , they would keep you busy for a while, and Salander is a great character.

Isandriena Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Apparently it did but I can't find any information on it Anywhere I've looked because if it's based on the books I would definitely like to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
