Just finished book 7 and 8 of the year! P.S. I Still Love You and 3 Willows. They were both pretty good! I'm wondering what to read next...

TaiyoTsuki 01-24-2019 09:12 AM

I can make a few suggestions, depending on your interest in sci-fi and fantasy....

Shadami 02-01-2019 05:30 AM

Eragon and polar Express we're both.. really...really sad adaptaptions of the books.

TaiyoTsuki 02-01-2019 08:34 AM

Yeah, the movie was waaayy off of the book for Eragon. And then they had the bright idea to not continue the series, after ending the first movie on a cliffhanger.

Melissa 02-03-2019 05:02 PM

just like the golden compass movie...at least now we're getting a BBC tv series.

On to book number 14! I’m starting Artemis by Andy Weir, the guy who wrote The Martian which is also a great book if you get a chance to read it.

Melissa 02-05-2019 07:02 AM

The Martian...one book where I actually thought the movie was better. 😬 much to my husbands dismay.

zigbigadorlube 02-07-2019 09:51 PM

So I just finished Artemis by Andy Weird. I almost NEVER give a book 5 stars but this one gets all of the stars from me!!!

LillieRose 02-07-2019 10:51 PM

I read Artemis last year. Great book.

I've currently got three books on the go:

Martin Popoff: Queen - Album by Album

George R R Martin - Fire and Blood

Hiro Arikawa: The Travelling Cat Chronicles

zigbigadorlube 02-08-2019 12:53 PM

What is this traveling cat book about?

TaiyoTsuki 02-10-2019 09:34 AM

I'm curious too ^^.
Also, I misread the author's name of that one as "Hiromu Arakawa" at first X'D.

zigbigadorlube 02-12-2019 05:12 AM

And my first one star book. Definitely not a fan of “This Census Taker”. >_<

TaiyoTsuki 02-15-2019 07:22 AM

Aaaaannnnd unsurprisingly, I've gone and started re-reading the Harry Poter books. Again. For the umpteenth time. [rofl]

I recently finished The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina volume 1 (awesome) and another interesting book called Chopsticks.

Chopsticks was made entirely of photographs telling a story...It was interesting to read but the ending was disappointing.

zigbigadorlube 02-16-2019 07:19 PM

Is the Sabrina book based on the new Netflix show?

zigbigadorlube 02-21-2019 02:39 PM

Starting a book I’ve been meaning to read for a long time—World War Z.

it was made before the netflix tv show and is completely different. the only thing i would say is similar is its uhhh darkness. its definitely worth checking out if you liked the show and can handle gore? hahah

zigbigadorlube 02-24-2019 10:32 PM

I'm not huge into gore but for some reason I've been on a zombie book streak lately so maybe I could handle it, lol!

TaiyoTsuki 02-26-2019 07:46 AM

With me and gore...it depends on how interested I am in it and it's usually anime XP

Shadami 03-04-2019 10:10 PM

I've been reading the Hardy boy mysteries. It's rather relaxing. I don't want to read anything complicated right now xD

TaiyoTsuki 03-05-2019 07:59 AM

Ahh, only a few chapters into Godsgrave and I'm already not regretting buying it before reading ^^~

I get like that sometimes. I read random Nancy Drew books. I even have some Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys crossover books. They are fun to read.

I also read romance when I'm feeling burned out.

I just finished reading "The Bone Houses" by Emily Lloyd-Jones. I read an advance copy and it doesn't come out until September, and I'm so mad, because I loved it and I want everyone to read it right now!

Its a zombie novel that takes place in ancient Wales and its all tied up in fae folklore. The main characters are a gravedigger trying to save her family home, and a map maker trying to figure out who his family is, and also a goat who follows them around. It had so many wonderful little details in it that I loved, and the story and characters were great, and augh! It was so good!

TaiyoTsuki 03-26-2019 05:39 AM

You had me at Wales and fae folklore X'D
Might see if it turns up at the library
